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.
Continuous disinfection is only necessary in hospitals when a resident
has a multiple-resistant pathogen (e.g. MRSA).
