The problems included equipment fires and other damage, equipment malfunctions... ...The root cause of the problems mentioned above was likely corrosion of electronic circuitry by disinfecting or cleaning solutions that penetrated the equipment housings. Healthcare workers routinely sprayed the housings with disinfectants or wrapped the housings with disinfectantsoaked towels. These practices are generally not consistent with the equipment manufacturers’ directions for use, which typically recommend wiping the housing with a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent and water.” Source: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/Safety/AlertsandNotices/PublicHealthNotifications/UCM062052 Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com Honeywell Launches Disinfectant-Ready Housings Recommended cleaning solutions – – – – – – – – – – 409® Glass and Surface Cleaner CaviWipes™ Clorox® Wipes Gentle dish soap and water Isopropyl Alcohol wipes (70%) Sani-Cloth® HB wipes Sani-Cloth® Plus wipes Super Sani-Cloth® wipes Windex® Blue Virex® 256 Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com Solution: Disinfectant-Ready Bar Code Scanners • Challenge: – End-users want to use strong cleaners to disinfect equipment and prevent the spread of pathogens – Many of these cleaners are very aggressive and can chemically attack the traditional materials used for scanner housings The Effect of Harsh Chemicals on Standard Plastics Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com ‘Anti-Microbial’ is Not Enough • Anti-bacterial or anti-microbial additives can give end users the impression that the products perform “better,” however, the CDC notes, – ‘No evidence is available to suggest that use of these products will make consumers and patients healthier or prevent disease...No data support the use of these items as part of a sound infection control strategy’ • The CDC’s “Guidelines for Environmental Infection Control in Health Care Facilities” reiterate, – ‘cleaning and disinfecting environmental surfaces as appropriate is fundamental in reducing their potential contribution to the incidence of healthcare-associated infections’ Source: http://www.cdc.gov/hicpac/pdf/guidelines/eic_in_HCF_03.pdf Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com Return on Investment: Disinfectant-Ready Housings Top Value Drivers – – – – Adhere to stringent disinfecting policies Improve caregiver efficiency Reduce the risk of spreading pathogens Avoid damaging equipment Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com The Situation Customer Cheshire Medical Center / Dartmouth-Hitchcock Keene Industry Healthcare Application Medication Verification at the Point-of-Care The Challenge • Addressing the 5 rights of patient safety • Meeting stringent requirements to sanitize medical equipment Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com The Solution Honeywell Product 4820h with Disinfectant-Ready Housing The Results • Caregivers are able to ensure the 5 rights of patient safety with a worry-free solution • Reduced downtime due to broken scanners resulted in an overall increase in productivity • Caregivers are able to spend more time caring for patients • Patients peace of mind because they know the equipment has been properly sanitized Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com For More Information • Honeywell Healthcare Microsite http://www.honeywellaidc.com/promos/healthcare_aidc/ • Healthcare Solutions Brochure http://www.honeywellaidc.com/Site.aspx/na/en/resources/publications/other_public ations/?subcategory=16 • White Papers http://www.honeywellaidc.com/Site.aspx/na/en/resources/publications/white_paper s/?subcategory=17 • Case Studies http://www.honeywellaidc.com/Site.aspx/na/en/resources/publications/case_studie s/?subcategory=22 Honeywell has deployed 150,000+ scanners into healthcare Honeywell Proprietary Honeywell.com Questions?
