Effect of decontamination procedures on recovery of Nocardia spp.
Exposure to 0.5% N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC), 2% NaOH-NAC, or benzalkonium chloride in trisodium phosphate (Zephiran-TSP) was toxic for Nocardia isolates. The number of viable Nocardia cells in a standardized suspension was reduced by 10(2) to 10(6) after a 30-min exposure to 2% NaOH-NAC and by 10(4) or more after a 30-min treatment with Zephiran-TSP.
متن کاملApplication of statistical procedures in analytical instrument testing
Evaluation of analytical instruments in clinical laboratories should be carried out in a systematic and uniform manner in order to provide data which can be compared and reproduced by different users, manufacturers and officials. Concepts for such an evaluation of instruments with continuous measurement values are presented in the ECCLS guidelines [1]. To quantify the results of an investigatio...
متن کاملInstrument Tracking and Visualization for Ultrasound Catheter Guided Procedures
We present an instrument tracking and visualization system for intra-cardiac ultrasound catheter guided procedures, enabled through the robotic control of ultrasound catheters. Our system allows for rapid acquisition of 2D ultrasound images and accurate reconstruction and visualization of a 3D volume. The reconstructed volume addresses the limited field of view, an inherent problem of ultrasoun...
متن کاملDecontamination.
Decontamination is the removal or reduction of chemical, biologic, or radiologic agents from the patient's skin, mucosa, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. Decontamination is an important step in decreasing the clinical effects of the agent on the patient, as well as protecting coworkers from exposure. For most agents and the vast majority of scenarios, the removal of clothing and a simple 5- t...
متن کاملDevelopment of a test system to evaluate procedures for decontamination of respirators containing viral droplets.
The aim of this study was to develop a test system to evaluate the effectiveness of procedures for decontamination of respirators contaminated with viral droplets. MS2 coliphage was used as a surrogate for pathogenic viruses. A viral droplet test system was constructed, and the size distribution of viral droplets loaded directly onto respirators was characterized using an aerodynamic particle s...
