Reducing HCAIs In healthcare

ü  A reduction in viable micro-organisms on surfaces

ü  A reduction in indoor Volatile Organic Compound levels

ü  A reduction in viable bio aerosols

The Aim

HCAI reduction – What Is Required?

ü  Technology that the NHS needs

ü  Products that add more clinical value at the front-end

ü  More value per £ NHS spent on HCAI needs

The requirement

Is Better Cleaning The Answer?

Does it work?:

ü  An effective cleaning protocol is essential ü  Disinfectants can remove bacteria ü  However residual performance is very short

ü  HCAIs can become established again quickly ü  24/7 antimicrobial could provide maximum protection

IS THIS AT ALL POSSIBLE?

Well!, If Good Cleaning and Disinfecting Is In Place

Why?:

ü  Do bacterial colonies develop in clean conditions? ü  What is “clean”? ü  How do micro-organisms develop

ü  How do they develop into HCAIs? ü  Can they be deactivated?

ü  What can be done to prevent their movement? ü  How can they be prevented from developing?

HOW CAN THIS BE ACHIEVED?

FIRST PROBLEM ü  Detergents & cleaners don’t always break down and remove fats

ü  Organic matter remains

ü  These may harbour bacteria

SECOND PROBLEM There is no single disinfectant that can achieve that!

ü  Most disinfectants are not true broad-spectrum

ü  Residual performance is not great

However! There is still an even Bigger problem?

ü  They prevent disinfectants reaching the micro-organism

ü  Allowing colonies of bacteria to grow and multiply

ü  Under a protective layer

BIOFILM

SO, WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT THEM?

THIRD PROBLEM Biofilms Are Almost Impossible To Remove

Looking at current solutions in dealing with HCAIs.

Our findings:

ü  There are advancements in disinfectants ü  New technologies are being used ü  Cold fogging

ü  Aerosol ü  Specialised chemicals

ü  Better hand hygiene ü  Better methods

NONE PRESENT A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM!

So where do we fit in?

Thinking smart:

ü  We looked at producing a better range of products ü  That are safer and quicker to use ü  That can deal with the problem efficiently

ü  Better patient experience and standard of healthcare ü  Save cleaning time

ü  Prevent ward closures ü  Cost reduction with better results

FINDING A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM!

Where product innovation and technology meet Better Products – Combined With Technology

ü  So perhaps if we combine ü  More effective products ü  That provide a reduction in HCAIs

ü  With a good method to apply them ü  Then we could get better results

WE BELIEVE THAT WE HAVE FOUND A SOLUTION

CLEAN – EnviroCair Oxy (H202 Ag+)

DISINFECT – EnviroCair Disinfectant (QAC)

PROTECT - EnviroCair Antimicrobial (SIQAC)

PRO-ACTIVE | PREVENTATIVE | PROTECTIVE

EnviroCair Oxy (H202 Ag+)

STAGE 1 - CLEAN

ü  Hydrogen Peroxide + Silver + Booster Agents

ü  Advanced Biofilm Remover

ü  Environmentally friendly (disintegrates 100% into water and oxygen)

EnviroCair Oxy (H202 Ag+)

STAGE 1 - CLEAN

§  Bacteria senses Hydrogen Peroxide §  Bacteria produces a blocking catalase (enzyme) cloud ACTIVATES ü  Hydrogen Peroxide attacks and destroys catalase and

oxygen split-off attacks the cell wall ü  The Silver attacks the inside of the compromised cell STABILISES ü  Bacteria destroyed – Silver recombines

How does it work?

STAGE 2 - DISINFECT EnviroCair  Disinfectant  (QAC)  ü  A 4th Generation Quaternary Ammonium Compound

ü  Has added ingredients to target all pathogen groups

ü  Virucidal | Bactericidal | Sporicidal

ü  Fast acting log8 result in seconds

ü  Fungicidal | Tuberculocidal | Yeasticidal

STAGE 2 - DISINFECT EnviroCair  Disinfectant  (QAC)  

§  High performance disinfectant using advanced technology

§  A true broad-spectrum disinfectant

§  Uses lower concentrations to achieve superior results

ü  Bacteria – gram positive

ü  Bacteria – gram negative ü  Viruses – non enveloped

ü  Viruses - enveloped

ü  Spores ü  Mycobacteria

ü  Fungi ü  Mould

STAGE 3 - PROTECT EnviroCair Antimicrobial (SIQAC) ü  A highly advanced antimicrobial coating

ü  Prevents the growth of bacteria and viruses

ü  Will not lose effectiveness over time

STAGE 3 - PROTECT

The Biostatic molecule is comprised of three parts 1.  A silane polymer for surface attachment 2.  A positively charged Nitrogen group 3.  A long chain C-18 Methylene group of molecules

ü  The silane coupling covalently bonds to the surface

Advanced long term anti-microbial protection

ü  The positively charged Methylene chain points away from the surface

ü  Through ionic attraction, negatively charged microbes are drawn onto the positively charged Biostatic coating

ü  Upon contact the Methylene group molecules compromise and penetrate microorganisms cellular membrane

Advanced Infection Control Products Combined With Advanced Technology Methods

WARD TURNAROUND TIMES IN AS LITTLE AS 2 TO 3 HOURS ROOMS OR AMBULANCES IN 60 MINUTES

Benefits include:

ü  Offer both Fogging and Electrostatic Spraying ü  Completely portable. ü  Turnaround time can be less than 60 minutes,

including treatment. ü  Can be used in larger open spaces and outside. ü  Can be used in vehicles and confined spaces. ü  Offers complete coverage. ü  Patented technology developed in the 1960s by

The University of Georgia for the US Government. ü  Revolutionised many industries, offering total

coverage whilst reducing chemical usage by 97%. ü  Can be used in any situation on any surface

Electrostatic & Fogging

ü  The spray gun has an electrode nozzle, which charges the chemical negatively when it passes through and discharges.

ü  Negatively charges ions actively seek a host.

ü  All physical items are positively charged, and attract the chemical onto their surface.

ü  In this test, both items were sprayed with an indicator fluid. ü  When the electrostatic charge is applied, the item is

completely covered on all surfaces

ü  Under normal spray with no static charge, only the area facing the spray is treated.

ü  The attraction to the surface is 75 x greater than gravity
