3.1.1 Occupational Exposure to Infectious Agents
Installing and servicing the
Vanguard requires visiting medical facilities which present infection hazards,
especially from possible exposure to pathogens found in blood and other potentially infectious bodily
materials. Pathogens are microorganisms that can cause disease when transmitted from an infected
individual to another individual through blood and certain other body materials. The most common illnesses
caused by blood borne pathogens are hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis C (HCV), and acquired immunodeficiency
syndrome (AIDS) from HIV, human immunodeficiency virus. These blood borne pathogens are capable of
causing serious illness and death.
Failure to adhere to these procedures and precautions may result in infection,
serious illness and death.
Types of Hazardous Exposure
Hazardous exposures which may occur in medical facilities include:
•
Percutaneous innoculations or punctures with blood or body fluid by a sharp instrument or needle.
•
Contact with blood or body fluid through a fresh cut (less than 24 hours from occurrence) or mucous
membrane contact (e.g., a splash to the eye or mouth, or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation).
•
Skin exposure involving large amounts of blood or prolonged contact with blood, especially when the
exposed skin is chapped, abraded, or afflicted with dermatitis.
