Disinfector Sanitizer
Disinfector Sanitizer
Disinfectants are chemical agents designed to
inactivate or destroy microorganisms on inert surfaces. Which bacteria not kill
on any surfaces then physical or chemical process kills all types of life.
Disinfectants are generally assumed to be limited to use on surfaces. Air
disinfectants are chemical substances capable of disinfecting microorganisms
inactive in the air. A perfect disinfectant would also offer complete and full microbiological
sterilization, without harming humans and useful form of
life. Those that are used indoors should never be mixed with other cleaning
products as chemical reactions can occur. The choice of disinfectant to be used
depends on the particular situation.
Types:
A) Alcohols:
Alcohols are most effective when combined
with distilled water to
facilitate diffusion through the cell membrane; 100% alcohol typically
denatures only external membrane proteins. A mixture of 70% ethanol or isopropanol diluted in water is effective against a wide the spectrum of bacteria, though higher concentrations are often needed to
disinfect wet surfaces.
B) Oxidizing agents
B) Oxidizing agents
1) Oxidizing
agents are oxidizing the cell membrane of
microorganisms. Acidic hypochlorite solution made by electrolysis of sodium chloride into sodium hypochlorite and hypochlorous acid.
2)
Hydrogen peroxide is used
in hospitals to disinfect surfaces
and it is used in solution alone or in combination with other chemicals as a
high-level disinfectant. Hydrogen peroxide
Mostly used on the clean surface an instant.
3) Ozone is a gas used for disinfecting water, laundry,
foods, air, and surfaces.
C) Acids and bases:
·
Sodium hydroxide
·
Potassium hydroxide
·
Calcium hydroxide
·
Magnesium hydroxide
·
Sulfurous acid
·
Sulfur dioxide
D) Home Disinfectants:
D) Home Disinfectants:
The best cost-effective
home disinfectant is bleach. This is very effective in tuberculosis, hepatitis B
and C, Fungi, and antibiotic-resistant strains. The benefits of chlorine bleach
include its inexpensive and fast-acting nature.

Hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer
Hand sanitizer is generally used to decrease infectious agents on the hand. Mostly
used to hand wash with soap and water. Hand sanitizer is very effective for
killing germs. When Alcohol concentration is below 50% or 40% then this
sanitizer is less effective. According to govt. hand sanitizer is more effective
when alcohol concentration is more than 70%. Generally non-alcohol-based hand sanitizer
is not recommended.
General Uses:
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) instructs the public in hand washing.
Alcohol-based hand sanitizer is recommended only for the viruses. Mostly
soap is not available everywhere so hand sanitizers carry everywhere and use it
easily.
Alcohol-based hand
sanitizer:
1.
Apply product to the palm of one hand.
2.
Rub hands together.
3.
Rub the product over
all surfaces of hands and fingers until hands are dry.
4.
Do not go near flame
or gas burner or any burning object during applying hand sanitizer.
Hand
sanitizer is mostly used in hospitals but handling food,
playing sports, gardening, and being active outdoors. Similarly, contain heavy
metals, and pesticides cannot be removed by hand sanitizers. Developing
countries may find it harder to get a hand sanitizer with an effective alcohol
concentration.
Health Care:
90% of alcohol rubs are more
effective against viruses than other forms of hand washing. Isopropyl alcohol will kill
99.99 % or more of all non-spore forming bacteria in less than 30 seconds,
both in the laboratory and on human skin. The use of alcohol gel hand sanitizer
reduces to dries skin effect.
Safety:
Alcohol gel and liquid can
catch fire easily. So do not touch flame able products. Alcohol is a high concentration
in hand sanitizer so keep away from the flame. Hand sanitizer is not drinking liquid.
Face Mask
A
face mask won't totally block the coronavirus. But it’s an added layer of
protection for you and infected people around you when you use it along with
regular hand washing and social
distancing measures like staying 6 feet away from others.
A mask protects you against coronavirus.
- Before putting on a mask, clean hands with alcohol-based
hand rub or soap and water.
- Cover mouth and nose with mask and make sure there are
no gaps between your face and the mask.
- Avoid touching the mask while using it; if you do,
clean your hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
- Replace the mask with a new one as soon as it is damp and do not re-use single-use masks.
- To remove the mask: remove it from behind discard immediately in a closed bin; clean hands with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
how to
wear medical masks to protect against coronavirus?
- You only need to wear a mask if you are taking care of a person with COVID-19 still you are healthy.
- You are coughing or sneezing then wears a mask.
- Masks are effective only when used in combination with frequent hand-cleaning with alcohol-based hand rub or soap and water.
- You must know how to use it and dispose of it properly after the use of a mask.
Type of mask
- N95 masks: This type of mask fits tightly around your face. They filter out 95% smallest particles in the air.
- Surgical masks: This type mask is often blue with white borders. They fit loosely across your nose and mouth. These masks shield against the large droplets that come from a sick person's cough or sneeze, but they're too loose to protect against all germs. They can't block the tiniest particles.
- General Mask: This type of mask is generally dust protect the mask.
Mostly non-health care persons use it. A cloth face mask won't totally block the coronavirus.
- Triple Layer Mask: This type of mask is mostly safety coronaviruses and other viruses available in the air. That type of mask filter to 2-3 micron in air and infected person.
- Disposable Mask: This type of mask is generally used and throws it but it is used in a proper way because another person does not contact us.

Standard PPE KIT
Standard PPE KIT
A) Components of PPE:
Components of PPE are goggles,
face-shield, mask, gloves, coverall/gowns, headcover, and shoe cover. Each component
use is given in the following paragraphs.
B) Face shield and goggles:
Every Person
of the eyes, nose and mouth is likely in a scenario of droplets generated by cough,
Sneeze of an infected person or during aerosol-generating procedures carried
out in a clinical setting. The flexible frame of goggles should provide good
seal with the skin of the face, covering the eyes and the surrounding areas.
C) Masks:
Contamination
of mucous membranes of the mouth and nose by infective droplets or through a
contaminated hand also allows the virus to enter the host.
There are
two types of masks which are recommended for various categories of personnel
working in hospital or community settings, depending upon the work environment:
1.
Triple-layer
medical mask :
A triple layer medical mask is
a disposable mask, fluid-resistant; provide protection to the wearer from
droplets of infectious material emitted during coughing/sneezing/talking.
2.
N-95 Respirator
mask:
Such the mask should have high fluid resistance, good breathability (preferably with an
expiratory valve), clearly identifiable internal and external faces,
duckbill/cup-shaped structured design that does not collapse against the mouth.
D) Shoe covers:
Shoe covers should be made up of impermeable fabric to be
used overshoes to facilitate personal protection and decontamination.
E) Headcovers:
Coveralls
usually cover the head. Those using gowns should use a headcover that covers
the head and neck while providing clinical care for patients.
F) Hand Gloves:
Hand Gloves should be made up of rubber to be
used for hand in clinical care for Patients.
