Rescue Disinfectants


<p>When creating a C&amp;D program, the Infection Prevention Leader should consider:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<ol class="wp-block-list">
<li>What’s the best product for our needs?&nbsp;</li>



<li>Which areas and surfaces require cleaning with or without disinfection?&nbsp;</li>



<li>Who is responsible for each area?&nbsp;</li>



<li>What checklists and SOPs will be needed?&nbsp;</li>



<li>How do we determine if the C&amp;D program is successful?&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<p>The following resources below will help you create an effective Cleaning and Disinfection (C&amp;D) program for your workplace.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Resources to help you choose the right disinfectant&nbsp;</h2>



<p>For animal workplaces, you want to look at the following factors to determine if they will be effective for your workplace. They include:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Spectrum of activity:&nbsp;</strong>Is this effective against our pathogens of concern?&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Contact time:&nbsp;</strong>Is this fast acting enough for my needs?&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Stability/Shelf life:&nbsp;</strong>Does this have a long enough shelf life?&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Sensitivity to organic debris:&nbsp;</strong>Is the product easily inactivated by organic matter?&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Safety</strong>: Is this safe to use around animals and staff?&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Compatibility:&nbsp;</strong>Will this product work with the surfaces in our facility?&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Cost:&nbsp;</strong>Is the product prohibitively high in cost?&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<p>To learn more about the properties of the ideal disinfectant,<strong>&nbsp;</strong><a href="https://www.cdc.gov/infectioncontrol/guidelines/disinfection/tables/table2.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>see the CDC’s list here.</strong></a><strong></strong>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Once you are familiar with the properties of the ideal disinfectant for your workplace, you can then take a look at properties of disinfectants commonly used in animal care environments to determine which one is best for your needs.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

Build an effective C&D Program with these 5 Resources


<p>Hospital-associated infections (HAIs) in veterinary medicine can result in damaging health, financial and social consequences affecting patients, clients and staff. Over a 5-year period, 82% of veterinary teaching hospitals reported at least one outbreak while 45% experienced multiple outbreaks.<a href="https://rescuedisinfectants.com/infection-prevention-leader-program/#_edn1">[i]</a>&nbsp;However, according to a paper on HAIs published in Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, it is estimated that 10%-70% of HAIs can be prevented with the help of better infection prevention practices resulting in safer workplaces.<a href="https://rescuedisinfectants.com/infection-prevention-leader-program/#_edn2">[ii]</a>&nbsp;To advance infection prevention best practices, the National Association of Veterinary Technicians in America (NAVTA) in partnership with Virox Technologies, have launched The Infection Prevention Leader Certificate Program.</p>



<p>An online program designed to provide animal care professionals with the knowledge needed to reduce the risk of spreading infection and create a safer workplace for their team, patients and clients, the Certificate Program consists of four complimentary RACE approved courses which include:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Infectious Disease Control: Pathogens &amp; Disease Transmission</li>



<li>Infectious Disease Control: Infection Prevention</li>



<li>Infectious Disease Control: Cleaning, Disinfection &amp; Sterilization</li>



<li>Infectious Disease Control: Implementation &amp; Communication</li>
</ul>



<p>Upon completion of the four courses, students will receive a Certificate as well as five CE credits. Enrollment in the program is complimentary to all animal care professionals.</p>



<p>“Veterinary professionals are on the frontlines fighting diseases on a daily basis. Arming them with infection prevention best practices is now more important than ever” comments Founder and CEO of Virox Technologies, Randy Pilon. “As a leader in setting new standards in disinfection and infection prevention, Virox Technologies is proud to work with NAVTA on this exciting new program.”</p>



<p>“In partnering with Virox, NAVTA intends that this certificate course gives veterinary team members a better understanding of HAIs and their prevention” said Jamie Rauscher, President of NAVTA. &nbsp;“In addition, the opportunity to make the course free to all team members is something that we readily agreed to make it more accessible to everyone.”&nbsp;</p>



<p>NAVTA members can access the course now and its first graduates are expected to receive certificates in early 2023. For more information on the program visit&nbsp;<a href="https://navta.net/infection-prevention-program/">https://navta.net/infection-prevention-program/</a></p>
