Clinical
The most effective wrap around solution for Infection Control, delivered by a Cabinet Office listed COVID-19 support partner.
Infection control and the systems adopted are the key defence for the control of all infection transmission in your clinical, residential, or Public Access environment.
Most Clinical or Care orientated guidance is based upon physical barriers and zoning, cleaning regimes using aggressive bleach based products and the highly localised use of PPE.
Whilst these processes can be effective, they require meticulous management and are time sensitive with regard to effectiveness. For example, a bleach based cleaning product removes pathogens when applied, but 1 hour later re infection can take place. Using bleach based products also has a number of serious and hazardous side effects, bleach is aggressive, it eats away at any surface it touches and repeated application can damage electrical systems, soft furnishings, clothing and it’s easily transferred by human contact.
Other methods which use Ozone Generators or UV light systems carry their own, quite considerable health risks.
All of these methods require an environment clear of any Human occupation and sensitive electrical equipment and they all, without exception can cause damage to surfaces, electrical cables, rubber hoses and connections. They also require extensive PPE or access risk control measures during and after treatment cycles.
The treatment cycles are therefore invasive, they take time, they remove access to facilities and they do leave a residual risk. They also do not tend to be linked to a regular swab testing regime to demonstrate efficacy.
The general public are becoming increasingly aware of the risks associated with these methods, it would be reasonable to assume there will be some negative response to their repeated use.
