WHITEPAPERS
DIRECT COMPARISON OF QUAT & AHP
This landmark 12-month study is very powerful. It is the first-ever prospective cluster controlled crossover trial that directly compares two disinfectant classes in a real-world setting (quat versus AHP in a major teaching hospital).
Surface contamination across all metrics (including HAI rates) was significantly better with AHP (Oxivir) than with quat.
Summary
DIFFERENT DISINFECTANT CLASSES & C. DIFFICILE
Analysis of four major disinfectant classes versus chlorine bleach, in both liquid and wipe form, against Clostridium difficult. The four classes tested were Glucoprotamin, Hydrogen peroxide, Alcohol, and Quaternary ammonium.
ENVIRONMENT
Role of hospital surfaces in the transmission of emerging healthcare-associated pathogens: Norovirus, Clostridium difficile, and Acinetobacter species.
PRIOR ROOM OCCUPANT
Risk of organism acquisition from prior room occupants: a systematic review and meta-analysis.
SPORES ON HANDS AND SURFACES
Acquisition of spores on gloved hands after contact with the skin of patients with Clostridium difficile infection and with environmental surfaces in their rooms.
HTES AND CLEANERS HANDS
Daily Disinfection of High-Touch Surfaces in Isolation Rooms to Reduce Contamination of Healthcare Workers’ Hands.
DIFFERENT WARDS
The Type, Level, and Distribution of Microorganisms within the Ward Environment: A Zonal Analysis of an Intensive Care Unit and a Gastrointestinal Surgical Ward.
IDEAL DISINFECTANT
Selection of the Ideal Disinfectant.
Summary
OXIVIR TB DAILY REDUCED
Use of a daily disinfectant cleaner instead of a daily cleaner reduced hospital-acquired infection rates.
Summary
OXIVIR WIPES SUPERIORITY
Disinfectant wipes are appropriate to control microbial bioburden from surfaces: use of a new ASTM standard test protocol to demonstrate efficacy.
Summary
DISINFECTANT WIPES VALUE
The value of ready-to-use disinfectant wipes: Compliance, employee time, and costs.
