INFECTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT AND PRINCIPLES OF USE


Barrier Film – One-time use, disposable plastic film for use over touch/operator surfaces of equipment or
SLD Infrared Pads to reduce risks of cross-contamination and need for high level disinfection of equipment
between patients.

Germicidal Disposable Wipe – Low level and/or intermediate level disinfectant germicidal disposable
wipe for use on electrotherapeutic devices and accessories.

Plastic Lead Wire Sleeve – Barrier to be used on Estim lead wires, covering the junction of lead wire and
electrode wire.

Plastic SLD Infrared Pad Barrier Film – Barrier to be used on SLD Infrared Pads, covering the Pad through
the junction of lead wire.

Universal Precautions - Body Substance Isolation

Universal Precautions (UP) must be implemented in the care of all patients to protect employees from occupational
exposure to blood borne pathogens. Personal protective equipment (gloves, masks, gowns) should be available and
worn by staff when occupational exposure to blood, body fluids containing blood, semen and vaginal secretions is
likely to occur. Health care workers with exudating lesions or weeping dermatitis should refrain from all direct
patient care and from handling patient care equipment until the condition resolves. Equipment must be
cleaned/disinfected and protective barriers used when appropriate.
Cleaning / Disinfecting of the Neuroprobe
Modality equipment shall be cleaned / disinfected per facility infection control policy. ACP recommends the
following guidelines:
This is a recommended daily housekeeping practice to keep the equipment clean and free of contaminants which
could contribute to transmission of infection. The following practices are recommended for use when treating intact
skin without the presence of physiologic fluids such as blood and urine.

Clean equipment daily with ACP germicidal wipes. At the end of the day, wipe common contact surfaces,
such as control panel and lead wires, with germicidal disposable wipe and allow to air dry. This technique
will inactivate M. tuberculosis as well as most bacteria and viruses. This will also facilitate removal of
organic material contaminants from equipment.

Disposable /reusable electrodes are for individual patient use only and should not be used on multiple
patients.
