Infection Control is a term used to describe efforts to prevent the spread of communicable diseases. 5 INFECTION CONTROL Divided into three methods: 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. Infection control practices can be divided into three methods: Cleaning – Standards apply to removing dirt, debris and potential pathogens to aid in slowing the growth of pathogens Disinfection – Standards require products to kill certain pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi), with the exception of spores Sterilization – Standards state that all microbial life, including spores, must be killed or destroyed 6 CLEANING The removal of dirt, debris and potential pathogens 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. Cleaning is the removal of surface or visible dirt and potential pathogens using soap, detergent or chemical cleaner, followed by a clean water rinse. Preparation step for nonporous items before disinfection Reduces number and slows growth of pathogens on both porous and nonporous surfaces Performed on non-critical objects (objects that come in contact with unbroken skin) 7 CLEANING Important facts about cleaning: Does not kill pathogens Reduces and slows growth May require scrubbing Alone doesn’t make tools and equipment safe for use 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. Important facts about cleaning: Does not kill pathogens, but reduces and slows their growth Reduces organic matter that contributes to growth of pathogens May require a scrubbing process that causes pathogens to loosen Alone doesn’t make tools and equipment safe for use 8 CLEANING Sanitizers – Reduce pathogens on surfaces that are nonporous Antiseptics – Applied to skin to reduce pathogens, also called waterless sanitizers 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. Sanitizers reduce pathogens on surfaces that are nonporous. Antiseptics are applied to the skin to reduce pathogens, also called waterless sanitizers. Can’t replace handwashing Can’t be used to clean tools or equipment Percentage of alcohol that can be used as an antiseptic for the skin is at least 70% alcohol. 9 CLEANING Cleaning Guidelines Esthetician Wash hands with soap and warm water before and after each service Supplies Launder all client gowns and headbands properly before reusing Workplace Use trash containers that have solid sides, a lid and a liner 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. General Practices for Estheticians: Wash hands with soap and warm water before and after each service Supplies: Launder all client gowns and headbands properly before reusing Workplace: Use trash containers that have solid sides, a lid and a liner Additional cleaning practices for a healthy environment can be found on p. 17- 18 in the Infection Control lesson. Porous – Material that allows liquid or air to pass through Nonporous – Material that has no pores and does not allow liquids to be absorbed or pass through 10 CLEANING VENTILATION GUIDELINES Maintain temperature of about 70°F Supply air Vent air Change filters Provide exhaust ventilation Use powerful fan unit 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. Ventilation Guidelines Maintain an average room temperature of about 70°F (21°C) Supply air mechanically through vents and air returns Vent air so that it doesn’t have a stale, musty odor or odor of chemical solutions Change air conditioner and forced-air furnace filters as needed Provide local exhaust ventilation for areas in which chemicals are mixed Ensure the fan in the unit is powerful enough to draw or blow away the chemical vapor or dust 11 DISINFECTION Kills certain pathogens 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. Disinfection – Kills certain pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi), with the exception of spores, on nonporous surfaces, tools and multi-use supplies. Disinfectants – Chemical products used to kill certain pathogens (bacteria, viruses and fungi) with the exception of spores on nonporous surfaces. Products can be toxic and harmful to your skin Regulated by law through various governing agencies Contact time – Amount of time a disinfecting product needs to be in direct contact with the item to be disinfected, stay moist and then completely dried to be effective against pathogens is listed on the label Some examples and what they are effective against: Bactericidal (kill bacteria) Fungicidal (kill fungi) Virucidal (kill viruses) 12 DISINFECTION OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Administration HCS – Hazard Communication Standard SDS – Safety Data Sheet 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. OSHA – Occupational Safety and Health Administration Enforces safety and health standards in the workplace Regulate Safety Data Sheets (SDS) and Enforces labeling of products HCS – Hazard Communication Standard Requires employees be informed of the dangers of the materials used in the workplace and exposure they might have to toxic substances SDS – Safety Data Sheet Designed to provide key information on a specific product 13 DISINFECTION EFFICACY “Ability to produce results” or “effectiveness” 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc. Efficacy – Means “ability to produce results” or “effectiveness” EPA – Environmental Protection Agency Approves the efficacy of products used for infection control Manufacturer submits a product to this agency for verification of effectiveness Manufacturer lists efficacy on the product label EPA Registration Number Given to the product along with approval of the efficacy claims on the label Ensures the product is verified and filed 14 DISINFECTION EFFICACY Important Terms: Bloodborne pathogens OSHA Bloodborne Pathogen Standard EPA-registered disinfectant 102E.2 Infection Control ©2020 Pivot Point International, Inc.
