Antimicrobial Services - Surface Protection
The cleaning industry has been rapidly changing in the last 5 years. It is no longer enough for a facility to simply look clean. Scientific research and development teams are working to verify what cleaning practices and systems are efficient, effective and environmentally safe. Requirement to protect from Community-associated infections has increased. There are NO statistics on Community Acquired Infections (CAI) in India.
The most common nosocomial infections:
- Bloodstream infections, followed by pneumonia in children
- Urinary tract infections in adults
- Tuberculosis
- Swine and bird flu
- Corona - new threat
Current Cleaning and Disinfection Methods
The current cleaning and disinfection methods commonly used are dusting, washing and fogging. These methods are insufficient to kill pathogens that have developed resistance against such methods and chemicals.
- Coverage provided is limited and leaves most surfaces unattended.
- The disinfectants used are toxic and dissipate into the environment
- They are unable to sustain beyond single use
The active ingredient in forms a protective coating that can molecularly bond with products upon application. Bacteria are attracted to the coating’s positive charge, and upon coming into contact with the treated surface, they quickly die – Physical Killing mechanism as against chemical killing like any other chemical/ disinfectant available currently.
This can be very effective for new facilities and facilities already in use.
- Healthcare facilities, by the very nature of their operation, expose patients and staff to microbial contamination that can lead to infectious disease.
- Nosocomial infection are among the top ten causes of the deaths.
- Nosocomial infection is estimated to result in as many as 80k deaths each year at an annual cost of up to $29 Billion.
- According to the World Health Organisation, 1.4 million people across the globe suffer from Nosocomial infection.
Technology: Microbial detection through ATP Meter
(Adenosine Triphosphate)
To measure contamination level on a surface, we use ATP/Swab technique. ATP/Swab is a globally used tool to measure the level of contamination by detecting the presence of Adenosine Tri Phosphate.
| Relative Light Unit (RLU) Range | Level |
|---|---|
| 0-30 | Safe |
| 31-100 | Considered clean |
| 101-200 | Caution! |
| 201-500 | Contaminated |
| 501-1000 | High risk ofinfection |
| 1000+ | Extreme risk of infection |
Our Application Process
Step 1
Assessments through ATP meter. We collect sample from recommended surface which gives us the reading of the surface contamination
Step 2
Disinfect process take place. In this process we eliminate the current level of pathogens and make that surface pathogen free. We use Fogger Machine for Larger areas and Electrostatic spray guns for smaller areas for this process.
Step 3
After-Care surface protector through electrostatic machine. This technology provides 24X7 protections against all surface infection for upto 3-6 month once protected.
Materials and Methods
Microbiological Sampling:
Microbial retrievals were obtained using an Andersen 2-stage viable impact sampler and a New Brunswick high volume sampler. The Andersen sampler was loaded with plastic petri dishes containing 20ml Malt Extract Agar and operated for 18 minutes at calibrated volume of 1 cubic foot per minute. The New Brunswick sampler was loaded with a plastic petri dish containing Malt Extract Agar and operated for 1 hour at a calibrated volume of 50L per minute.
Exposed petri dishes were incubated at 30°C for 120h. Colony Forming Units (CFU’s) were enumerated at 48 and 72 hours, with final counts reported as those recorded at 72h.
Pre-treatment samplings were performed at cart height (30”) with the Andersen sampler at 209 sites. The first post-treatment samplings were performed at cart height at 643 sites. The second and final samplings were performed at cart height and floor level simultaneously using a remote probe on the New Brunswick sampler. Sample site locations for the second and final post-treatment samplings were randomly selected by floor using a random number generator
Surface Modification:
All accessible interior surfaces (including carpeting, ceilings, walls, above ceiling space, furnishings, elevator shafts, mechanical and electrical chases) were treated with the organosilicon antimicrobial 3- trimethoxysilylpropyldimethyloctadecyl ammonium chloride (ÆGIS™ Antimicrobial) (6) in water in accordance with the manufacturer’s application specifications. The applications were randomly tested for uniformity and penetration throughout the treatment process.
Results:
Two of the post-treatment sampling periods contain data from retrievals at floor level. These data are included as additional information and should not be used to compare pre-post microbial levels.
Pre-treatment retrievals were in a range of 721 – 2,800 CFU’s/m3. Of the 209 sample sites, 122 (58%) sites produced 2,800 CFU’s/m3, the upper detection limit of the sampler
Post-treatment sampling during the seven months following restoration of the building produced an average of 4.1 CFU’s/m3 at 643 sites. Retrievals were in a range of 0-25 CFU’s/m3. Of the samplesites, 289 sites (45%) produced 0 CFU’s/m3; an additional 231 sites (36%) produced retrievals in a range of 1-5 CFU’s/m3.
The second post-treatment samplings were performed in 1991 at 82 sites randomly selected by floor. The samplings produced retrievals in a range of 0-9 CFU’s/m3, with an average retrieval of 0.8 CFU’s/m3. 40 sites (48%) produced 0 CFU’s.
The final post-treatment samplings were performed in 1992 at 86 sites randomly selected by floor. The samplings produced retrievals in a range of 0-4.7 CFU’s/m3, with an average retrieval of 0.4 CFU’s/m3. 56 sites (65%) produced 0 CFU’s.
Each of the 24 Bone Marrow Transplant patient rooms were negative for microorganisms during all of the post-treatment samplings
