Pay attention to posted notices about airborne diseases or other infections in a facility. Wear gowns or aprons if contact with body fluids is expected, and follow the facility's policies on use and removal. Maintain a clean environment by disinfecting surfaces from clean to dirty. Do not handle medical sharps or other hazardous objects, and alert staff immediately about any injuries. Stay home if feeling ill and notify staff about any potential exposures during a visit.

Sterile Procedures
The document outlines objectives and procedures for maintaining surgical asepsis. It defines key terms like surgical asepsis, medical asepsis, disinfection, and sterilization. It describes the roles and responsibilities of radiographers in ensuring surgical asepsis during invasive procedures. Proper attire, environment protocols, and techniques for maintaining sterile fields and handling sterile supplies are discussed in detail.
2.surgical asepsis
Surgical asepsis refers to procedures used to keep objects and areas free from microorganisms. The principles of surgical asepsis include always facing the sterile field, keeping sterile equipment above waist level, not speaking over sterile fields, and avoiding contact between sterile and non-sterile items. Procedures like surgical hand scrubbing, donning sterile gowns and gloves aim to eliminate pathogens. The surgical hand scrub involves washing arms and hands with antimicrobial soap for 5 minutes using specific techniques. Donning a sterile gown involves unfolding the gown without touching the floor and inserting arms while keeping hands above elbow level. Applying and removing sterile gloves is done using closed techniques to maintain sterility and prevent contamination.
Principles of sterility
This presentation provide most of the basic principles of maintain sterilly in a sterile invasive procedure in an operating theatre. All operating theatre staff will find useful/relevant.
"Maintaining Sterility During a Surgical Procedure"
Maintaining sterility during surgery is essential to prevent infection. Key aspects include creating and maintaining a sterile surgical field, proper cleaning and sterilization of instruments, strict sterile technique among all staff in the operating room, and use of protective attire and drapes. Proper cleaning of instruments and use of steam sterilization or other methods can eliminate microorganisms to achieve sterility. Strict adherence to protocols at each step of preparation, surgery, and cleaning is necessary to protect patients and staff.
Aseptic Technique
This document outlines guidelines for maintaining aseptic technique during medical procedures. It describes aseptic technique as a method to prevent wound contamination and infection by ensuring only sterile equipment and fluids are used. The guidelines specify steps like cleaning hands and surfaces, checking sterile products, and opening sterile packs without contamination. It emphasizes using one hand for sterile materials and the other for contaminated items near the patient. The waste bag should be positioned away from the sterile field to avoid cross-contamination when discarding used materials.
Bag technique
The bag technique is a method used by nurses to efficiently carry out nursing procedures outside of a clinical setting. It involves using a bag to organize and carry all necessary equipment and supplies to provide care. Key principles for the bag technique include preventing contamination, protecting the caregiver, ensuring supplies are accessible, and allowing for follow-up care. Special considerations include ensuring all emergency supplies are included, cleaning the bag and contents regularly, and keeping bag contents separate from patient belongings.
surgical asepsis
Surgical asepsis aims to eliminate all microorganisms and spores from surgical procedures. To maintain sterility, an object can only be touched by other sterile objects and only sterile items may be placed in the sterile field. Sterile objects or fields can become contaminated through contact with contaminated surfaces, prolonged air exposure, or if fluid or objects from below the waist come into contact.
Aseptic technique
The document discusses clean, aseptic, and sterile techniques used in healthcare to reduce infections. Clean technique involves hand washing and gloves for non-invasive care like exams. Aseptic technique uses antiseptics and sterile gloves for short invasive procedures like IVs. Sterile technique is for surgery and uses antiseptic scrubs, sterile gowns and gloves, and sterile supplies in a dedicated sterile field. Following principles like keeping clean and sterile items separate and planning with the SCRIPT method can help reduce errors and contamination risks. The overall goal is to reduce healthcare-associated infections transferred from providers or equipment to patients.

The Ultimate Guide in Setting Up Market Research System in Health-Tech
How to effectively start market research in the health tech industry by defining objectives, crafting problem statements, selecting methods, identifying data collection sources, and setting clear timelines. This guide covers all the preliminary steps needed to lay a strong foundation for your research.
"Market Research it too text-booky, I am in the market for a decade, I am living research book" this is what the founder I met on the event claimed, few of my colleagues rolled their eyes. Its true that one cannot over look the real life experience, but one cannot out beat structured gold mine of market research.
Many 0 to 1 startup founders often overlook market research, but this critical step can make or break a venture, especially in health tech.
But Why do they skip it?
Limited resources—time, money, and manpower—are common culprits.
"In fact, a survey by CB Insights found that 42% of startups fail due to no market need, which is like building a spaceship to Mars only to realise you forgot the fuel."
Sudharsan Srinivasan
Operational Partner Pitchworks VC Studio
Overconfidence in their product’s success leads founders to assume it will naturally find its market, especially in health tech where patient needs, entire system issues and regulatory requirements are as complex as trying to perform brain surgery with a butter knife. Additionally, the pressure to launch quickly and the belief in their own intuition further contribute to this oversight. Yet, thorough market research in health tech could be the key to transforming a startup's vision into a life-saving reality, instead of a medical mishap waiting to happen.
Example of Market Research working
Innovaccer, founded by Abhinav Shashank in 2014, focuses on improving healthcare delivery through data-driven insights and interoperability solutions. Before launching their platform, Innovaccer conducted extensive market research to understand the challenges faced by healthcare organizations and the potential for innovation in healthcare IT.
Identifying Pain Points: Innovaccer surveyed healthcare providers to understand their difficulties with data integration, care coordination, and patient engagement. They found widespread frustration with siloed systems and inefficient workflows.
Competitive Analysis: Analyzed competitors offering similar solutions in healthcare analytics and interoperability. Identified gaps in comprehensive data aggregation, real-time analytics, and actionable insights.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensured their platform complied with HIPAA and other healthcare data privacy regulations. This compliance was crucial to gaining trust from healthcare providers wary of data security issues.
Customer Validation: Conducted pilot programs with several healthcare organizations to validate the platform's effectiveness in improving care outcomes and operational efficiency. Gathered feedback to refine features and user interface.
