15 Monitoring Particles at 0.5µm and 5.0µm & Bacteria (CFUs) Slide 15
16 Surgery Room monitoring Slide 16
17 New EU guidelines emerging 1. Monitoring and storing relevant operational and environmental parameters for 5 years 2. Differential pressure in Surgery rooms and all adjacent rooms. 3. Temperature of incoming HEPA air (downflow) 4. Temperature of outgoing return air 5. Relative humidity of incoming and outgoing air 6. Number of Air changes per hour 7. Door openings and duration 8. Particle counting (airborne contamination) Slide 17

21 Our Goals Supporting reduction in Hospital Acquired Infections Improve Awareness of Contamination Conditions, or risk, in Real-Time Implement GMP compliant systems that meet the coming regulations Slide 21
22 Awareness of Contamination Hazards Surgery room staff made aware of contamination hazards in real-time Improves behaviours and promotes self regulation Improves local knowledge and understanding, and reduces facilities related calls Total Environmental Condition of the room is improved during surgery. Slide 22
23 Who wants this? Who is the User? Head of the Surgery Rooms and all the people working in that department. Infection Control (Microbiologists, Hygienists, etc ) Facilities Management Slide 23

28 Guidelines for Surgery rooms ISO : OR Class 1 (ISO-6) Orthopaedic surgery CFU< 10 OR Class 2 (ISO-7) CFU< 200 Other not infection-sensitive surgery OR Class 3 (ISO-8) CFU< 500 Treatment rooms Slide 28
29 Control Limits for OR s in operation Maximum number of Airborne particles/m 3 Under Plenum Not under Plenum OR Type > 0.5µm > 5.0µm > 0.5µm > 5.0µm Class 1 (ISO-6) Class 2 (ISO-7) Class 3 (ISO-8) OR at Rest: allowed limit is 10x lower. This should be tested on a regular basis. Slide 29
30 Slide 30
31 Manual particle counting OR measurement at rest: To prove the incoming air is HEPA filtered. OR is in control between the yearly validation. After construction/change in the OR. OR measurement in operation: Collect data to get an overview on the contamination hazards. Knowledge of particle levels at different stages. Slide 31
32 Wizard for Automatic Report Calculations Report Function will Calculate: # of Samples # of Locations Volume of Air Needed to meet Cleanroom Class Selected Slide 32
33 Real-time particle counting Remote Particle counters implemented in the return airflow: Worst case measurement (aggregate) Gives an indication if cleaning has been effective Constant view of process control Remote Particle counter implemented under the plenum: To prove the incoming air is HEPA filtered Slide 33
34 Non-Viable Particles Slide 34
35 Measurement data patterns and trends Slide 35
36 Measurement data Alarming over time or by event Slide 36
37 Microbial risk Slide 37
38 Easy visual indicators and reference panel All is ok Slide 38
39 Differences from Building Management Systems Only the important parameters are made visible to the people working in the surgery room. Increased awareness of contamination hazards/risk Continuous improvement opportunities System is validated according to GMP regulations Includes Particle counting Includes Microbial monitoring data Slide 39
40 Some Considered Objections Why should we spend money if we don t see anything in return. Our infection rates are very low so no issue here. There is no regulation on this so why should we monitor. We have a BMS Slide 40
41 Some considered answers One post-operative infection costs as much as an average real-time monitoring system, in increased hospital time/resources. Decreases the number of out of action surgery rooms The system gives understanding on the process in order to apply preventive actions/maintenance instead of corrective actions/maintenance. It s compliance we need it!! Slide 41
42 Future-proofing There will be a regulation in the near future so better to be prepared for it, pioneer instead of chasing others especially if projects or construction activities are in the pipeline GMP way of working for your Hospital Easy to expand to other departments/hospitals Slide 42
43 Summary Real Time response to alerts leads to cleaner environments. Universal data accessibility leads to increased social controls, and improved behaviours. Improves collaboration from the Surgeon and OR Manager in decisions to hold or proceed with surgeries based on environmental conditions. Historical information can be accessed on specific surgeries in the case of post operative infections Decreases the number of post operative infections IMPROVES PATIENT CARE Slide 43
44 Without monitoring there is no control!! Slide 44
45 Thank You Tim Triggs Slide 45
