Terry Smith started the topic Humidified Oxygen in the forum
Environment, Equipment & Products 6 years, 5 months agoHi All,
Has anyone any guidance in relation to the use of humidified Oxygen and infection control piece? I have been informed that one palliative ward will not use it due to infection control risks? I don’t see any new guidance saying it is a risk. Any thoughts?
Thanks ,

Thanks for all the information about the UV system. I like process, speed and lack of consumables. I understand that the Stella machine is/was available in Ireland it may be something else to look at.
Have you placed your system in a designated area/ room ?
I presume you immerse / wipe first then use the UVC ?
Sorry for all the questions,…[Read more] -

For our TOE we use the GUS system with the chemical OPA Cidex but for vaginal and rectal probes we use sheath and wipes. I am interested also to know what other hospitals are doing.

Environment, Equipment & Products 7 years, 5 months agoHi Kay,
We have been using Manepa bedpan washers for a number of years and havent had any major issues. Usually when they cause problems it is due to user misuse rather than the machine. Are the bedpan washers fitted with detergent & descaler? This may be a reason for not cleaning the bedpans properly?best wishes
