6-2 Handling Blood and Blood Products
Disinfect
Once the spill area is free of debris and fluid, clean it with detergent. Wipe away
any excess detergent and flood the area with a 10% bleach solution (1 part
household bleach to 9 parts water), or other suitable disinfectant, and let it stand
for at least 20 minutes. Wipe the area with clean, dry paper towels or gauze pads.
Decontaminate
equipment
Any non-disposable clean-up items that cannot be laundered (e.g., protective eye
wear, brooms and dustpans, etc.), that have, or may have, come in direct contact
with blood must be decontaminated with an appropriate disinfectant such as a
10% bleach solution, or by autoclaving, if applicable. A contaminated Sealing
Head RF jaw/tube assembly head should be cleaned with alcohol in accordance
with the procedures in this document, while wearing disposable protective
gloves. Contaminated protective outerwear and other items that can be
laundered must be handled as little as possible and placed in bags or containers
(marked with biohazard labels) which prevent leakage and/or soak-through to the
exterior. The bags or containers must be transported to a facility equipped to
properly launder blood contaminated items.
Safely dispose of
waste
All contaminated waste materials must be placed in biohazard bags or containers
and transported to a facility equipped to dispose of blood contaminated items by
means of incineration or autoclaving. Maintain records to show proof of
destruction of all contaminated materials.
