Infection prevention and control practices in the Hemodialysis settings focus on prevention of bloodborne virus infections and prevention of bacterial infections. Chronic hemodialysis patients are at high risk for infection because the process of hemodialysis requires vascular access for prolonged periods of time. Multiple patients receive dialysis on a regular basis and repeated opportunities exist for person-to-person transmission of pathogenic microorganisms via equipment, environmental surfaces, or hands of personnel. The Sani-System® complete line of pre-moistened disinfectant hard surface wipes meet recommended guidelines for disinfecting frequently touched environmental surfaces in the hemodialysis setting. The Sani-System® alcohol gel hand wipes create the necessary friction to remove soil, kill pathogenic microorganisms and are ideal for healthcare worker and patient use. Skin antisepsis and strict aseptic technique with vascular access sites is essential for hemodialysis patients. PDI manufacturers quality skin antiseptic products that meet recommended guidelines for vascular access care.
