If a surface dries too soon, it isn't fully disinfected. 🚫💧
Contact time is the exact period a clinical surface must remain visibly wet after a wipe is applied. Rushing this wet dwell time or towel-drying early compromises your entire infection control sequence.
The 7-Step Operatory Turnover Sequence: 1️⃣ Don PPE: Put on the required barriers and MacSafe gloves before touching contaminated zones.
2️⃣ Discard Barriers: Remove used covers without touching the clean areas underneath.
3️⃣ Inspect: Identify visible soil on high-touch pulls, switches, and touchscreens.
4️⃣ Clean First: Wipe with firm, overlapping strokes. Debris can compromise the disinfectant.
5️⃣ Disinfect: Apply a fresh wipe to fully coat the target surface.
6️⃣ Maintain Wetness: Keep the surface visibly wet for the full labeled contact time.
7️⃣ Air-Dry & Restock: Let it dry naturally, discard PPE, perform hand hygiene, and replace barriers.
Streamline your room resets without skipping the critical parameters that keep your team and patients safe.
