Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

4. Important Facts
• Cleaning is the first step in device
reprocessing after use
• You can clean without sterilizing, but you
can never sterilize without cleaning
• Cleaning is the cornerstone of the
sterilization process
5. Terminology
• Cleaning – The removal of
all visible and non-visible
soil and any other foreign
material from the medical
device being reprocessed
• Decontamination –
Removing or reducing
contamination by infectious
organisms or other harmful
substances
6. Design of the Decontamination Area
• Floors and walls should
be constructed of
materials that can
tolerate harsh chemicals
• Traffic should be
restricted and PPE is
required
7. The Decontamination Area
• Emergency
Eyewash/shower
equipment should be
available within 10
seconds or 30 meters
of a potential chemical
exposure
8. Housekeeping
• Horizontal work surfaces should be
cleaned and disinfected at the
beginning and end of each shift
• Spills should be cleaned immediately
• Floors should be cleaned and
disinfected daily
• Biohazardous waste should be
removed at frequent intervals
9. Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE)
• PPE is required at all times
• Discard PPE that is soaked
with blood or infectious
materials
• Discard torn, punctured or
nicked gloves
• Jewelry and acrylic
fingernails are not permitted
10. Food or Drink is NOT Permitted in the
Decontamination Area
11. Training
• No employee should work in
the decontamination area
without training on:
• Standard Precautions
• PPE
• Safety
• Hand washing
• Proper handling of
contaminated items
12. Water
• The primary vehicle in the
cleaning process
• Water quality can impact
cleaning outcomes
• pH, hardness, and temperature
must be monitored
13. pH Scale
14131211109876543210
• pH is used to measure acidity or alkalinity.
• Acids turn litmus paper RED.
• Alkalies (sometimes called bases) turn litmus paper
BLUE.
14. • Chelating Agents
• Chemicals that hold
hard water minerals in
solution, and prevent
soaps or detergents
from reacting with
minerals
• Sequestering Agents
• Chemicals that remove
or inactivate hard water
minerals
15. An Overview of Effective
Cleaning Agents
• Are non-abrasive
• Are low-foaming
• Are free-rinsing
• Allow for rapid soil dispersion
• Are non-toxic
• Are effective on all types of soil
• Have a long shelf life
• Are cost-effective
• Can be monitored for effective concentration and
useful life
16. Detergents
• Substances that dislodge, remove,
and disperse solid and liquid soils
from the surface being cleaned
• Detergents are specially formulated
for the specific uses. For example,
manual cleaning or mechanical
cleaning
17. Enzymes
• Breakdown or “digest” large organic
molecules to facilitate their removal
• Are very specific in their actions. Different
enzymes work on different soils
• Protease – Breaks down blood, mucous, feces,
and albumin
• Lipase – Breaks down fatty deposits such as
bone marrow and adipose tissue
• Amylase – Catalyzes (changes) starch
18. Enzymes and Temperature
• Temperatures above 400
C (1400
F)
can affect chemical reactions
• Cool temperatures may not activate
the enzyme
• Monitor water temperature and
check manufacturer instructions for
specific temperature requirements
19. Selecting an Enzymatic Detergent
• Consider the following factors:
• Water temperatures in the decontamination area
• Room temperature in the decontamination area
• Useful life and stability of the product
• Expiration date of the product
• The material used to construct the device to be cleaned
• Whether it is approved and registered by the EPA
20. Detergents for Ultrasonic Cleaners
• Must be low-foaming to
prevent interference with the
cleaning process
• Are usually formulated with
Surfactants and Chelating
agents
21. • Surfactant – A surface-acting agent that lowers
the surface tension of a liquid so it can penetrate
deeper. Surfactants also prevent debris from
being re-deposited on items
• Chelating Agent – A chemical that holds hard
water minerals in solution and prevents soaps or
detergents from reacting with minerals
22. Instrument Lubricants
• Prolong the life and function of instruments
• Instrument lubricants must be water-soluble
• Should be applied after cleaning
• Instrument lubricants cay be applied manually
in the clean assembly area or mechanically as
one of the final steps in a mechanical wash
cycle
23. CLEANING
The removal (usually with detergent
and water) of both visible and invisible
soil from the surfaces, crevices,
serrations, joints and lumens of
instruments, devices and equipment
24. Remove Gross Soil As Soon As
Possible to:
• Reduce the number of
microorganisms on the item
• Reduce the nutrient material that can
support microbial growth
• Reduce the potential for
environmental contamination,
aerosolization, or spillage
• Minimize damage to devices from
blood and other substances
25. The Importance of Cleaning
•Cleaning is the
foundation of
disinfection and
sterilization
26. Decontamination
• The use of physical or chemical
procedures to remove, inactivate,
or destroy bloodborne pathogens
• How an item was, or will be
used determines the level of
decontamination required
28. Manual Cleaning
• May be done:
• Prior to mechanical cleaning
• When the decontamination area
does not have mechanical cleaners
• For delicate or complex instruments
• For powered-surgical instruments
• For instruments with lumens
29. Facilitate Cleaning By:
• Monitoring water
temperature and
hardness
• Measuring detergents
accurately
• Opening hinged
instruments to
expose hinges, jaws,
and box-locks
30. Cleaning
• Use a 3-Sink Set-up
• Wash sink
• Intermediate Rinse sink
• Final Rinse sink
*Brush instruments under the
surface of the water to prevent
aerosols
31. Cleaning Brushes
• Use the correct size brush for the item being cleaned
• Clean and disinfect/sterilize routinely or discard and
replace
33. Ultrasonic Cleaners
• Use Cavitation
Process
• Superior to manual
scrubbing/cleaning
• Require non-foaming
detergents
34. Cavitation:
Ultrasonic vibrations create tiny air bubbles that grow larger until
they implode (collapse). That implosion dislodges soil from the
instrument’s surface, as well as crevices, hinges, and other hard
to reach areas within the instrument.
ImplosionImplosion
35. Ultrasonic Cleaner Tips
• Rinsing is necessary to remove residue that remains
on instruments
• The tank must be routinely cleaned
• Instruments must be pre-cleaned to remove gross soil.
• Must be degassed each time they are filled
• The cleaner’s lid should remain closed during
operation
• All lumens should be completely filled with cleaning
solution
• All instruments should be completely open and
submerged
36. Ultrasonic Cleaners
• Do not place these items in the ultrasonic
cleaner:
• Chrome-plated instruments
• Ebonized Instruments
• Plastic
• Cork
• Glass
• Wood
• Chrome
• Rubber
38. Mechanical Washers
• Use several successive
steps in their cycles to
clean medical devices
• Choose the correct
cycle for the items being
processed
39. Mechanical Washer Tips
• Expose all surfaces
• Do not stack trays on top of one another
• Remove lids or covers from trays
• Check detergent levels frequently
40. Washers Need Direct Contact
• Multi-level organizing
trays may impede
mechanical cleaning
processes by
shielding the
instruments from the
wash spray
42. Automated Cart Washers
• Automated Cart Washers
use detergent and hot
water to clean large carts
• With special racks, they
may also be used to clean
basins, pans, etc.
44. Instrument Decontamination
• The most important
step in the sterilization
process
• Instruments that have
not been properly
cleaned cannot be
sterilized
45. Blood should never be allowed
to dry on instruments
• Process instruments
immediately, or:
• Cover with a moist towel
• If they can be immersed,
place in a soak basin
with the appropriate
solution
46. Instrument Cleaning
• Every instrument or device that enters
the decontamination area must be
treated as if it is potentially hazardous
• Should begin within 15 minutes to 1
hour after use
• Prolonged delays in instrument
cleaning can have negative impacts on
instruments
• Open boxlocks and hinges for cleaning
• Disassemble multi-part instruments
47. Instruments with Lumens
• Place under water to prevent
aerosols when brushing
• Brush lumens using an
appropriate size brush
• Force water and detergent
through them using a syringe
or cleaning nozzle
48. Defective Instruments
• When Instruments
come back from
Surgery tagged for
repair they must be
decontaminated before
they are sent for repair
49. Clean All Items in Accordance with
Manufacturers’ Instructions.
50. Power Equipment
• Must be manually cleaned.
• Do Not Immerse
• Clean cannulations (lumens)
thoroughly
• Follow Manufacturer’s
instructions
51. Mobile Patient Care Equipment
• Follow OEM (Original
Equipment
Manufacturer’s)
instructions
• Pay attention to details
such as access doors,
latches, etc.
52. Cleaning Quality Control
• Instruments are visually
inspected for cleanliness in
the clean assembly area
• There are some
commercial monitoring
products available to test
the effectiveness of
mechanical washers
53. Infectious Waste
• Not all healthcare facility trash is “Medical Waste”
• Healthcare facilities separate their waste
54. Waste Categories
• General Trash – garbage disposed of as municipal solid
waste
• Regulated Medical Waste or Infectious Waste –
waste capable of transmitting infectious disease
• Hazardous Waste – May cause serious illness or death
Must be red-bagged.
• Low-level Radioactive Waste – exhibits radioactive
characteristics such as radioactive decay
55. Cleaning
Summary• Follow established standards
and manufacturers’ instructions
• Pay attention to detail
• Cleaning is the most
important step in medical
device processing
