Bio Trunking Antimicrobial Trunking Solutions from Marshall-Tufflex Infection control – the challenges •Reduction in the transfer of microorganisms is a key objective for the NHS. Why? – There are 300,000 hospital associated infections (HCAIs) in the UK per year. – There is a £270m investment in infection control per year. – HCAIs actually cost £1bn and 5,000 deaths per year. Per person - 11 extra days in hospital and 3 times the cost! Infection control – prevention • Where hygiene is a priority: – Providing a reduction in the transfer of bacteria via inanimate objects. – Antimicrobial PVC-U trunking supports other infection control initiatives. – It also helps to prevent discolouration and odour formation on the treated item. Prevention is better than cure! Infection control – why silver? • Silver has been used for centuries to inhibit the growth of bacteria. + AG • Silver ions: – Provide controlled delivery – Are thermally stable – Inorganic – Non-leachable – Registration with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) – Compliance with the European Products Directive (BPD). Silver – how it works • Silver ions attack bacterial cells in contact with a surface. • Solutions integral within the PVC-U provide consistent antibacterial performance. • Controlled release over product life. Bacterial Cells Ag+ Ag+ Bio Trunking - testing MRSA Tests made in conjunction with material suppliers Doeflex-Ultrafresh TEST RESULTS: Marshall-Tufflex Report #2422431 LABORATORY: Thornton Research Associates Inc., Ontario, Canada TEST ORGANISM: Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Quantitative Assessment of Activity – ISO 22196:2007 MRSA Concentration of starting inoculum Sample Description 1. Flat profile – Blue Tape, White PVC – untreated control 2. Curved profile – Red Tape, White PVC – Treated with Ultra-Fresh CA-16 4.94 x 105 CFU/mL No. Bacteria Recovered Log Value R= [log(B/C)] % Survival 7.19 x 106 6.9 ------ ------ <2.00 x 101 <1.3 >5.6 <0.1% The treated curved profile (Sample 2) showed excellent control of MRSA with a greater than 99.9% reduction in bacteria compared to the untreated flat profile (Sample 1). Bio Trunking – testing K. pneumoniae TEST RESULTS: Marshall-Tufflex Report #2422435 LABORATORY: Thornton Research Associates Inc., Ontario, Canada TEST ORGANISM: Klebsiella Pneumoniae Quantitative Assessment of Activity – ISO 22196:2007 K. pneumoniae Concentration of starting inoculum Sample Description 1.16 x 105 CFU/mL No. Bacteria Recover ed Log Value R = [log(B/C)] % Survival 1. Flat profile – Blue Tape, White PVC – untreated control 3.06 x 106 6.5 ------ ------ 2. Curved profile – Red Tape, White PVC – Treated with Ultra-Fresh CA16 4.01 x 102 2.6 3.9 <0.1% The treated curved profile (Sample 2) showed excellent control of Klebsiella Pneumoniae with a greater than 99.9% reduction in bacteria compared to the untreated flat profile (Sample 1). The bacteria grew on the untreated sample.
