EASILY STOP THE SPREAD OF GERMS

MDS Continues to Lead the Fight Against Preventable Infections & Cross-Contamination

The world is and always will be a germy place. As respiratory illnesses continue to plague our country, it's important that you exercise caution as you travel, even if you have been vaccinated, according to Harvard Health.

Keeping your employees, customers, patients and guests safe from dangerous pathogens and HAIs is now the new norm and MDS Associates provides a wide variety of Infection Control items that combat the cross-contamination and spread of germs and bacteria.

Protecting those in your facility will require a simple, inexpensive three-pronged approach: disinfection with spray or wipes, proper hand hygiene and incorporating the use of infection control barriers. It's more important than ever that you choose high-quality solutions preferably made in the USA and that are in compliance with all applicable regulations imposed by both the EPA and FDA.

WIPE SURFACES CLEAN

Frequently wipe down surfaces with an EPA registered disinfectant to kill germs and viruses and stop them from spreading. Make disinfection wipes available to all. Place containers of wipes throughout your facility so employees can conveniently grab one to wipe down an area.

PREVENT FINGERPRINTS-THEY TRANSFER GERMS

Cover freshly disinfected surfaces with poly barrier covers and sleeves. Disposable surface barrier products safeguard against cross-contamination and elevate infection control levels easily, quickly and affordably. They also protect against dust, fluid sprays and minimize fingerprint smudges that could lead to infection.  

Barrier products are very versatile and can be used to cover and protect just about anything. Popular styles include keyboard sleeves, covers and elastic skins, remote control covers, touchscreen barrier sheets, cell phone sleeves and tablet sleeves. They did not hinder operations and prevent disinfecting in between applications saving valuable time.

HAND HYGIENE

Lastly, fill up the hand wash and put out the hand sanitizer products. Place bottles of hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol throughout your facility, ensuring hand hygiene is always within reach.

IDENTIFY HOT SPOTS

To help lower the risk of infection, identify publicaly touch surfaces or commonly touched items. Here are the top germiest items where you should give more thought to your infection prevention strategy.

• DESK: The average office desk is said to contain 400 times more germs than a toilet seat. Computers, keyboards, and your mouse are key germ and bacteria transfer points because they are touched so often and sometimes they are shared by many co-workers. Common in virtually every office, hotel, resort, school, library and business in the country, these devices have been exposed to any number of micro-organisms, germs and even bio-hazardous materials which translates to cross-contamination. Think about that the next time you work through lunch at your desk!
• PORTABLE ELECTRONICS: Another common breeding ground for bacteria and germs to thrive are on portable electronic devices such as cell phones, tablets and laptop computers. Touch pads, keypads and touchscreens are also hot zones and should not be ignored. Remote controls also harbor all types of nastiness!  Many of these devices are taking into and used during bathroom breaks.

RECAP

Having disinfectant spray and wipes readily available encourage your staff to wipe down their work areas regularly. Providing hand sanitizer at crucial traffic points within your office will promote proper hand hygiene. Using disposable infection control barriers keep disinfected surfaces and items sparkling clean. MDS continues to lead the fight against preventable infections and cross-contamination.
