3 Challenges for surgical cleaners
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Challenges for surgical cleaners "...in the absence of careful physical cleaning, most disinfection and sterilization processes are likely to be ineffective. …only steam autoclaving can overcome the barrier effects of residual organic matter." Source: Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Vol 50 no , pg 288 Removal of body tissue soils like blood, mucous, fats, and others Reduction of biofilms

4 Formulation types of surgical cleaners
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Formulation types of surgical cleaners . Neutral pH Detergent (pH 6 – 8) Alkaline pH Detergent (pH 10-12) Enzymatic Detergent (~Neutral, pH 7-8) Single enzyme (e.g., protease or lipase) Multi-enzyme (protease, lipase, amylase, cellulase…)

5 Intended use of surgical cleaners
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Intended use of surgical cleaners . High or low impingement washers Manual applications Ultrasonic Presoak Stain Removal

6 Example of process – endoscope cleaning
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Example of process – endoscope cleaning Effective cleaning of endoscopes is essential Endoscopes have fragile parts and should not be exposed to high temperatures (>60°C) and autoclaving Flexible endoscope must be decontaminated by cleaning at low temperatures and disinfected by cold chemicals Cleaning of flexible endoscopes is classified as a semi-critical instrument since it penetrates skin and tissue. Must be disinfected with a high level disinfector (HLD)

7 Types of surgical instruments and their use
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Types of surgical instruments and their use Flexible endoscopes Heat labile – can not be autoclaved Gastro-Intestinal inspections 10 million inspections/year in US (1995) Rigid endoscopes Laparoscopes Abdominal; minimum invasive surgery 4.4 million inspections/ year in US

10 Washing with detergents
13/04/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Washing with detergents This is the part of the cleaning process where enzymes are applicable This part of the reprocessing process is very important, since inadequate cleaning and removal of biofilm inhibits disinfection as defined by AAMI There are two methods of washing/cleaning: manual and automatic Disinfection is defined as: “The process of removing as much of the contamination as possible, but not necessarily killing the microorganism.” Source: TIR 30 – A Compendium of cleaning of medical devices” by AAMI (2003) (TIR 30)

11 4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Enzymatic detergents Enzymatic detergents are recommended in both Europe (ESGE), in the US (Multi-society guidelines) and globally (WGO) Can be positioned as a environmental friendly and more safe to handle substitute to more harsh detergents They are often the detergent of choice since they are effective at dissolving proteins and operate at low temperatures in a neutral environment The majority of the guidelines recommend that the health care facility uses the detergent recommended by the manufacturer of the AER The majority of the enzymatic detergents are multi-purposed and can be used in almost all the automatic cleaners and as a manual cleaner The manufacturers of the detergents use the enzymes as a selling point in their brochures using between one to four different enzymes in their detergents (protease, lipase, amylase, and cellulase)

12 Complete blood removal with proteases
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Complete blood removal with proteases Test stopped Time taken in min. to clean Get faster blood removal with enzymatic detergents Blood is the main and most critical contaminant of surgical instruments and it is used in the international standard ISO15883 as chosen test soil (TOSI test) to check the efficacy of cleaning procedures for surgical instrumentation reprocessing

20 The problem with biofilms
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION The problem with biofilms Biofilms are ubiquitous in nature and cause a variety of problems including: Fouling of membranes Biological fouling in medical instruments, oil field injection wells, and cooling towers Infections and disease in people (e.g., contamination of drinking water and dental unit water) Oral care/plaque buildup Corrosion of metal surfaces by sulfur-reducing bacteria (SRB’s) Companies are attempting to address most of these areas using detergent-type Cleaners.

21 Typical enzyme dosages

23 4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION How can enzymes help . Enzymes are able to facilitate biofilm removal from surfaces in an environmentally-friendly manner Enzymes enable targeted removal of contaminants from surfaces without causing deleterious effects to the surface (e.g., pH-sensitive membranes and temperature-sensitive surgical instruments) Enzymes may be able to bypass bacterial defense mechanisms that can inactivate common cleaning agents (e.g., bacterial catalases for H2O2)

26 Comments on disinfection
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION Comments on disinfection Disinfection is a separate step of the reprocessing of the flexible Endoscope The specific substance used for disinfection varies around the world due to different recommendations in the different countries One of the most commonly used disinfectors globally for endoscopes is Glutaraldehyde followed by Peracetic acid Glutaraldehyde is an asthmagen and there is a rising concern, especially in the West, about the use of this substance Glutaraldehyde is still the most used disinfector in the rest of the world**, while the US authorities recommend that you do not use unless its absolutely necessary*** NHS statement on disinfection “It is not considered acceptable to use Glutaraldehyde for endoscope disinfection in the United Kingdom.” * A program under the British health authorities. ** Danish recommendations from SSI ( Statens Serum Insititut) and statistics from ESGE and WGO ***Recommendations from the Center for Disease control (CDC), the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and Association of practitioners in infection control (APIC) and WGO.

27 The different disinfectors – categorized
4/13/2017 NOVOZYMES PRESENTATION The different disinfectors – categorized Disinfectant base Properties Examples Alkylating agents Superior materials compatability Tend to be in a higher COSHH Essentials hazard group than oxidising agents Their ability to fix protein may limit use of some products (e.g glutaraldehyde) Glutaraldehyde (Cidex, ASEP, Totacide) Ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA, Cidex-OPA) Mixtures (Gigasept rapid, Septo DN) Oxidising agents Superior sponcidal activity Tend to be in a lower COSHH Essentials hazard group than oxidising agents May be incompatible with some endoscopes Chlorine-containing compounds (Sterilox, Tristel) Peroxygen compounds (Virkon S) Perasetic acid (Nu Cidex, Steris, Aperlan)
