  • Simulated-Use Testing of Bedpan and Urinal Washer Disinfectors: Evaluation of Clostrium Difficile Spore Survival and Cleaning Efficacy
    Simulated-use testing of bedpan and urinal washer disinfectors: Evaluation of Clostrium difficile spore survival and cleaning efficacy Michelle J. Alfa, PhD, FCCM,a,b,d Nancy Olson, BSc,b and Louise Buelow-Smith, RNc Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Background: Reusable bedpans and urinals are frequently cleaned and decontaminated using washer-disinfectors (WDs) that may be located in the central processing department (CPD) or on the ward. The objective of this study was to determine how efficiently the WDs provided cleaning and to evaluate the ability of such WDs to kill Clostridium difficile spores. Methods: The cleaning efficacy of 2 bedpan/urinal WDs (1 in the ward [ward-WD] and 1 in the CPD [CPD-WD]) were evaluated using simulated-use testing that included an ultraviolet-visible marker (UVM) that is readily removed when exposed to liquid. In addition, a proprietary test object surgical instrument (TOSI) device was used to assess the efficacy of the WDs. Artificial test soil (ATS) and C difficile spore removal and killing also were evaluated. The removal of ;106 C difficile spores and subsequent killing of these spores was assessed using autoclaved stool and/or urine as the soil challenge. Results: Reusable stainless steel bedpans, plastic bedpans, and plastic urinals were assessed. Triplicate testing done on 3 separate days using TOSI devices, UVM, ATS, and stool and urine soils indicated that the ward-WD did not demonstrate adequate cleaning. It was determined that installation errors accounted for the inadequate cleaning. But the ward-WD did not adequately inactivate C difficile spores even when the installation problems were corrected and the manufacturer-adjusted maximal thermal conditions were used.

  • Help with Using the Bathroom
    Northern California Hospice Help with Symptoms Help with Using the Bathroom Helping someone use the bathroom is an important responsibility. It can be challenging for both patients and caretakers alike. Whenever possible, help your loved one be as independent as possible for as long as possible. Always ask if they would like your assistance before trying to help. If your loved one can get out of bed Ensure they get to the bathroom safely. Help with buttons, zippers, or removing articles of clothing if necessary. Kaiser Permanente Northern California Hospice kp.org/hospice/ncal Northern California Hospice Help with Symptoms Some patients may need assistance while sitting on the toilet. Wrap your arm under their armpit and around their back to help lower them onto the toilet seat. After using the bathroom, they may need help cleaning themselves. Make sure you have washed your hands before helping. You may also find it helpful to wear a pair of plastic gloves. Start by wiping them with toilet paper, wiping from the front toward the back. Then use a wet wipe to finish cleaning them. Make sure they are clean and dry before putting their clothes back on. If the bathroom is located far away, ask your hospice care team for a commode (a small toilet on wheels that can be rolled near the bedside) or a wheelchair to help bring them to the bathroom. You may also want to place a chair halfway to the bathroom, so the patient can rest as they travel from the bedroom to the bathroom. If your loved one cannot get out of bed or a chair Help them sit up if possible.

  • Toileting Aids in Hospitals: Reuse Or Dispose?
    INFECTION CONTROL Emma Sheldon – Vernacare Toileting aids in hospitals: reuse or dispose? This article looks at the evidence to support the use of single-use bedpans, in preference to reusable devices, in hospitals as part of a drive to reduce rates of HCAI. The management of human waste is recognised as a high risk for transmission of infections. Faeces contains most groups of human pathogens, such as Clostridium difficile (C. difficile), Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), multi drug-resistant Gram-negatives (MDR Gram-negatives), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and norovirus, which are significant to and commonly encountered in healthcare environments. In healthcare settings, C. difficile is usually spread via the hands of staff and those who come into contact with infected patients or with environmental surfaces like floors, reusable bedpans and toilets that have been contaminated with the bacteria or its spores.
