5.2 CLEANING AND DISINFECTION PLAN
• Remove the bed linen and have it laundered.
• Clean all surfaces, including the slatted frame and mattress base made of
synthetic or metal sections, with a mild and environmentally friendly cleaning
agent. This also applies for the handset.
• If the bed has been visibly contaminated , with infectious or potentially infectious
materials, the bed should be subsequently disinfected by wiping with one of the
disinfectants approved by the DGHM (Deutsche Gesellschaft für Hygiene und
Mikrobiologie, German Society for Hygiene and Microbiology) and/or the VAH
(Verbund der Angewandte Hygiene, Association for Applied Hygiene) which is
suitable for the corresponding surfaces. The same applies for all beds with
residents who have notifiable diseases according to §6 of the
Infektionsschutzgesetz (IfSG, Protection against Infection Act), bacterial
infections, or infections with multiple-resistant pathogens (e.g. MRSA, VRE), as
well as all beds in intensive care stations and infectious disease clinics. For all
disinfections, the concentrations given in the DGHM/VAH list must be observed.
• Disinfection of the castors is only necessary if they have been visibly
contaminated with infectious or potentially infectious materials.
In some cases, the bed may need to be disinfected in the care or treatment
room in order to prevent the spread of pathogens.
