HandHygiene The CDC estimates nearly 2 million patients in

the United States contract a hospital-related

infection each year. About 90,000 of these

patients die as a result of their infections.* Since

the introduction of the CDC Guidelines for Hand

Hygiene in Healthcare Settings, healthcare

workers now have specific indications for pre-

venting healthcare-related infections that may

ultimately save many lives. To sanitize hands

that are not visibly soiled, the CDC recommends

the use of alcohol-based handrubs. The CDC

also recommends products that contain

emollients to reduce skin irritation and drying.

Alcohol-based VioNexus™ No-Rinse Spray and

emollient-filled liquid handsoaps from Metrex

encourage proper hand hygiene practice by

making it efficient, convenient and comfortable.

“Clean hands are the single most importantfactor in preventing the spread of dangerousgerms and antibiotic resistance in healthcaresettings. More widespread use of the productsthat improve adherence to recommended handhygiene practices will promote patient safetyand prevent infections.”

— Julie Gerberding, MD, MPHDirector of the CDC

Use VioNexus Foaming Soap and Water for WashingWash...when hands are visibly dirty,contaminated, or soiled. • before and after eating• after using the restroom• before and after work shifts

Sanitize...when hands are not visiblysoiled.

Before:• patient contact• donning sterile gloves prior to inserting

a central intra-vascular catheter• inserting indwelling catheters and

other invasive devices that do not require a surgical procedure

• moving from a contaminated-body site to a clean-body site during patient care

After:• contact with a patient’s skin• contact with bodily fluids or excretions• contact with non-intact skin • contact with wound dressings• contact with inanimate objects,

including medical equipment in the immediate vicinity of the patient

• removing gloves

Hand Hygiene Using VioNexus CDC guidelines recommend the use of alcohol sanitizers for routine antisepsis. Using an alcohol handrub takesone fourth of the time of standard handwashing and provides better antimicrobial effect than washing with anantimicrobial soap.

1. Apply generous amount of soap.2. Rub hands together vigorously for

at least 15 seconds.3. Cover all hand surfaces.4. Rinse. Avoid hot water.5. Dry thoroughly with a disposable towel.

Multiple-use cloth towels are not recommended.

6. Turn off faucet with same towel.

InstrumentReprocessingNo sterilization system can reliably penetrate the

bioburden on soiled surgical instruments; thus

the precleaning step is critical. The Metrex

instrument care line will help the healthcare

facility to adhere to the AAMI guidelines, “Safe

handling and biological decontamination of

reusable medical devices in healthcare facilities

and in non-clinical settings (Section 7,

Decontamination Processes).” Metrex offers a

number of reliable precleaners – EmPower®

Foam, EmPower ® and MetriZyme® – all dual-

enzymatic detergents. These products offer fast,

thorough removal of proteinaceous debris.

MetriSponge,® a specially contoured sponge

saturated with MetriZyme, fits snugly around

endoscopes and cylindrical instruments to

easily remove gross contaminants prior to the

enzymatic soak. MetriLube® coats metal

instruments with an oil film to prevent spotting,

staining and rusting, while allowing instrument

hinges to move freely with precision.

“Decontamination is the first and most important step in the sterilization process.Inadequate cleaning of organic debris mayresult in retained organisms and make thesterilization process ineffective… High bioburden inhibits the sterilization process,and sterility cannot be guaranteed.”

— Ramona L. Conner RN, MSNPerioperative Nursing Specialist AORN Center for Nursing Practice

High-LevelDisinfectionMost healthcare facilities rely on glutaraldehyde-

based products for their high-level disinfecting

and sterilizing needs. The MetriCide® family of

glutaraldehydes has a 20+ year history of excel-

lence. It is a tried and true formula. Available

in three concentrations of glutaraldehyde,

MetriCide is noncorrosive and has excellent

instrument compatibility for the high-level disin-

fection of endoscopes as well as sterilization of

heat-sensitive surgical instruments and other

medical devices. Metrex recommends using

MetriTest™ Strips for testing the minimum effec-

tive concentration (MEC) of glutaraldehyde prior

to each use.

“Currently, test strips are constructed to indi-cate concentrations above 1.5%. Therefore, toensure that the appropriate concentration ispresent, the solutions should be monitoredperiodically, with the exact frequency based onhow often the solutions are used (e.g.; if useddaily, test daily). Testing should not be used toextend the use-life beyond the expiration date,and record keeping (e.g., log book) should bemaintained.”

— Report of the MonthNC Statewide Program for Infection Control and Epidemiology July – August 1999

Testing MetriCide Using MetriTest™ Strips1. Remove one MetriTest Strip from container and replace

cap immediately. (For MetriCide, use MetriTest 1.5%Strips. For MetriCide 28 or MetriCide Plus 30, use MetriTest 1.8% Strips.)

2. Dip indicator end of the strip into the MetriCide solution being tested for a full 2 seconds and remove immediately.

3. Lean strip against bottle (indicator end down) and wait 60 seconds. Use a paper towel underneath to absorb excess reagent dye.

4. Read color change at 60 seconds after strip is removed from solution. Disregard the top 2mm of indicator pad, which will be yellow. Pad will be completely purple to indicate the concentration of glutaraldehyde is above its minimum effective concentration (MEC). If ANY yellow appears, apart from the top line, the solution is below MEC and should be discarded. See visual standard below for color change interpretation.

SurfaceDisinfectionDisinfection of hard surfaces is key to the health

and welfare of patients and healthcare workers.

Proper cleaning and disinfection of patient-care

equipment and surfaces reduce the risk of

spreading pathogens. Metrex offers a powerful

line of multipurpose surface disinfectants that,

when used properly, prevent cross contamina-

tion and maintain a clean environment. Well

recognized in the profession for its effectiveness

against TB and HBV, CaviCide® is three

products in one: cleaner, disinfectant and

decontaminant. And it’s recommended for use

in neonatal and infant care areas. CaviCide is

also available in a convenient, easy-to-use wipe.

CaviWipes™ are sturdy and durable, nonwoven

towelettes that will not bunch up during use.

Together, they provide a reliable means of

assisting you in preventing cross contamination.

Liquid MedicalWasteDisposalDisposing of liquid medical waste is a critical con-

cern for healthcare management who are continu-

ally exploring ever safer means of disposing of

these potentially harmful pathogens to which their

workers are exposed on a daily basis. Metrex has

responded to this challenge by offering reliable

solidification products and a closed delivery sys-

tem that eliminates potentially hazardous cross

contamination, safely and simply. PremiCide®, a

patented product that solidifies and sanitizes in

one process, is delivered through its proprietary

PremiGuard™ Cap, a closed delivery system

that prevents potential splashing, spilling and

aerosolization of infectious liquid medical waste.

PremiCide also helps facilities comply with

Department of Transportation regulations for the

proper transport of liquid medical waste.

“In an era of patient/employee safety and costcontainment, we choose to use PremiCidebecause it provides us with several positiveaspects in the area of biohazard waste manage-ment. The PremiCide product is generally easyto use and staff prefer a closed system oftransferring the product into the suction canis-ter. In addition, the solidification process mini-mizes the risk of spill and potential staff expo-sure to patient body fluids.”
