3 Overview Introduction Study rational Methodology Results Conclusions

4 Introduction Intravenous catheter Needle-free port cleaning Current active disinfection or scrub the hub technique relies on the clinician to adequately disinfect the IV port prior to IV access using a alcohol based prep pad 15 seconds scrub (Epic 3) 30 seconds or until dry (Kill time) Passive disinfection using an luer lock cap pre loaded with 70% isopropyl alcohol (Curos ) which then stays in situ until the next IV access Requires 3 minutes to deliver a 5 LOG reduction / disinfection Stays on for up to 7 days or until next access

5 Introduction The international guidance on effective device disinfection relies broadly on three key factors: Cleaning technique of the clinician (To ensure all key access parts of the needle-free port are cleaned) The duration of the physical cleaning (minimum of 15 sec) The duration of the disinfectant drying / Kill time (minimum of 30 sec)

6 Study Rational Knowing that we have higher than average BSI s Aware that there was non compliance of scrub the hub Curos is designed to engineer out human variation The only British evidence for Curos was home parenteral nutrition outpatients (Mia Small) despite USA peer reviewed studies. We wanted to know if using Curos would improve compliance with port cleaning Would there be a positive / negative affect on line related bacteraemia rates with passive port decontamination

7 Methodology 6 month cross site study utilising 4 wards Oncology Acute Care of the elderly Adult Intensive care Surgical Ward All had medium to high use of Intravascular lines Users completed a questionnaire on usability

8 Methodology Retrospective review of the wards BSI data for 6 months prior to, during and 6 months post study. Port cleaning ( scrub the hub ) survey pre intervention Training of staff in the use of Curos prior to the intervention period Removal of intravascular disinfection wipes. Monthly compliance audits during the study

9 Study Results Survey of conventional port cleaning Compliance rates for the use of Curos IV catheter Infection rates Financials User experience Patient experience

10 Survey of conventional port cleaning This survey had 104 responses from a variety of different departments: Women's and Children's Services Medical Surgical Renal Cancer Services Emergency Medicine Critical Care and Anaesthetics Diagnostics

11 Cleaning Time National N = 1237 Trust N = % 30% 5 Seconds or Less 24% 28% 0% 7% 10 Seconds or Less 15 Seconds or Less 20 Seconds or Less 0% 5% 16% 24% 25 Seconds or Less 30 seconds 15% 26% 10 Sec or less =54% 10 Sec or less =54%

13 Compliance rates for Curos Department Curos compliance Oncology 81% Acute Care of the elderly 79% Adult Intensive care 80% Surgical Ward 81% Total (Average) 80% Curos demonstrated a compliance rate of 80%. Curos demonstrated 53% higher compliance rate with trust disinfection policy than scrub the hub (27%).

14 IV Catheter Infection Rates Pre Intervention Department CRBSI s for 6 months pre intervention Oncology 14 Acute Care of the elderly 0 Adult Intensive care 9 Surgical Ward 3 Total 26 CRBSI s on the 4 departments were measured for 6 months (Oct -March) pre intervention. Total of 26 CRBSI s.

15 IV Catheter Infection Rates Curos Intervention Department CRBSI s for 6 months pre intervention Total CRBSI s for the Curos intervention period Oncology 14 5 Acute Care of the elderly 0 0 Adult Intensive care 9 3 Surgical Ward 3 0 Total 26 8 CRBSI s reduced from 26 pre intervention to 8 post intervention, delivering a 69% reduction in CRBSI s

18 Data With Washout Phase Number of Line Related Bacteremias

19 Financials Time saving calculation Bed days saved calculation Product comparison CRBSI saving calculation

20 Time Saving Calculation Using Curos has delivered a calculated time saving during the 6 month intervention on the four wards of 330 clinical hours. Volume of product used Time Saving per Curos Total Time Released to Care Clinical Days Released to Care (8hr Day) 26, seconds Hours 41.2 Days The time saved by not needing to scrub the hub (15 sec) and let it dry (30 sec) before every access is 45 seconds per Curos used.

21 Bed Days Saved Calculation The number of blocked bed days saved in 6 months was 198. Blocked Bed Day Saving Number of CRBSI s Pre Curos Curos Intervention Saving Blocked bed days This was calculated by not having to extend patient stay (11 days) to treat infections

22 Product Comparison Volume of product used Cost of Current Cleaning pad NHSSC Price (Excl. VAT) Total Spend (Excl. VAT) Curos NHSSC Price (Excl. VAT) Total Spend (Excl. VAT) 26, , The cost of Curos for 6 months over four wards against current cleaning wipe was an additional 6,198

23 CRBSI Saving Calculation CRBSI Saving Calculation (GBP) Pre Curos Curos Intervention Saving Number of CRBSI s Cost to treat PIV CRBSI s ( 6,209) Cost to treat CLA CRBSI s ( 16,000) 161,434 49, , , , ,000 Savings do not include the increase in the cost of the product at 6,198

24 User Feedback On Curos 76 nurses from across the four wards were randomly selected to complete anonymous feedback on Curos of which 70% returned completed questionnaires Question Yes No Easy to use 100% 0% More effective than scrub the hub 100% 0% Improves patient outcomes 100% 0% Visually auditable 100% 0% Received training 100% 0% Will continue to use 100% 0%

25 Patient Experience 27,000 Curos were applied to 1094 patients. Patients liked the visibility of Curos and knew when the device had to be changed Made them feel safe and they felt in partnership with their care

26 Conclusions Curos could deliver higher compliance to hospital cleaning policy than scrub the hub. Curos was more easily audited. green means clean Increase in CRBSI was seen after Curos was removed, suggesting scrub the hub is less likely to be complied with verses Curos.

27 Conclusions Significant financial savings could be achieved with Curos using a spend to save approach. Clinician s time could be freed up, though further research into saving of clinical time is required. High patient and clinician engagement with Curos verses scrub the hub. Curos could deliver a significant improvement over scrub the hub in the fight against CRBSI s and the aim at zero infections. Curos is a small change for a big difference
