Cleaning and disinfection of sanitary transport

It is important to disinfect and clean all sanitary transport and equipment once a week, or after transporting an infected patient.

It is advisable to clean and disinfect vehicles regularly (especially if patients have open wounds or are contaminated) then decontaminate and disinfect small items of equipment.

Disinfection is an essential operation that every ambulance driver must be able to carry out on a daily basis.

This operation must be carried out in a number of very specific stages.

Disinfection is the deliberate and temporary elimination of certain germs in order to stop or prevent the risk of infection by pathogenic or undesirable micro-organisms or viruses.

Disinfection involves eliminating these micro-organisms or inactivating pathogenic viruses from contaminated environments by modifying their structure or inhibiting their metabolism or some of their vital functions.

It should be carried out between each patient transport.

This involves changing the bedding: cloth or paper sheets. This bedding will be removed and confined in a sealed bag to limit the spread of germs and/or micro-organisms.

The stretcher will be disinfected manually using a disinfectant detergent and a single-use wipe, taking care to use single-use gloves and to follow the instructions for using the product.

These instructions are specific to each manufacturer (application time, dilution, etc.).

Wiping should follow the shape of the letter "S" to avoid contamination from one cleaned area to another.

Every item that may have come into contact with the patient must be wiped with a wipe containing an approved disinfectant liquid (handle, barrier, walls of the ambulance, etc.).

The same procedure must be followed for all equipment used during the operation: cervical collars, measuring devices, etc.

The used wipe and gloves will be disposed of in a closed bag to be disposed of as soon as the ambulance returns to its premises or to the care facility.

• Fogging time for 5 cubic metres with MINIBIO S1 = 5 MINUTES
• APABIO MD product contact time = 15 minutes
• Ventilation time for sanitary cell = 10 minutes

TOTAL DURATION OF MIST OPERATION = 30 minutes

Airborne surface disinfection for sanitary transport is a technique that enables the volume of the cell to be saturated and disinfected very quickly.

In this way, all surfaces in contact with the air are disinfected.

All mechanical and electronic components of the aerial surface disinfection device MINIBIO s1have been selected after many years of research, which means that today we can guarantee a level of reliability that is far superior to that of disinfection equipment on the market.
