Il monitoraggio microbiologico

ambientale in sala operatoria

La contaminazione microbiologica in sala operatoria è un importante parametro da tenere sotto controllo per ridurre / eliminare i rischi di infezione.

Un monitoraggio microbiologico dell’aria e delle superfici ha due motivi ben definiti:

(a) accertare che gli impianti di condizionamento / ventilazione e flusso unidirezionale sterile funzionino regolarmente;

(b) accertare che il personale medico e para-medico si attenga al protocollo di corretta pratica asettica.

Con questi scopi è stato messo a punto il sistema “TRIO.BAS” DUOper il settore ospedaliero per monitorare in combinazione sia l’aria che le superfici.

Il campionatore microbiologico d’aria “TRIO.BAS DUO Operating Theatre” consente di prelevare e campionare in meno di 3 minuti 1000 litri di aria.

Il campionatore microbiologico di superfici “TRIO.BAS Contact” si impiega per contatto di 10 secondi sulle superfici considerate a rischio.

The Cleaning and Disinfection handbook is aimed at those working within the pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors around the world, as well as providing valuable information for students and for the general reader.

The book provides comprehensive detail on different types of disinfectants and their modes of action; explains the problems of microbial destruction and resistance; introduces cleaning techniques and the latest safety regulations; expounds upon the application of cleaning within healthcare and pharmaceutical environments, noting current national and international standards. The book also provides guidance on disinfectant efficacy testing.

Assembled by expert practitioners, the book balances theoretical concepts with sound practical advice, and is likely to become the definitive text on keeping contamination in control within clean areas and controlled environments. With this second edition, the book is fully updated in line with the latest standards and regulations.
