Whether or not special precautions are followed for terminal

4 cleaning will depend on the condition of the family members who have been in the room. Sign the daily cleaning log to verify that the cleaning of the doffing rooms has been completed for the day Daily cleaning of doffing rooms Daily clean F6/560 and F6/562 (Full PPE required for cleaning these rooms this should be done during the trash removal so PPE will not need to be donned an additional time) At the start of daily cleaning spray the hoses and belts from the PAPR systems with #23. These will be located in a bin in the doffing room. After they have been sprayed let them sit for 5 minutes and then hang them from the IV pole located in the room so they can be hit with the UV light when the xenex machine is run Bleach wipe the IV pole and roll it to the 2 nd housekeeper standing in the hallway, cleaning the wheels as it crosses the red line Place the equipment in the clean equipment room and connect each PAPR to the corresponding charger for future use We will be responsible for emptying bio hazard trash from doffing room twice daily see trash removal process at end of document All bags will be double bagged and wiped down prior to leaving doffing room Coordinate with MERI (Jim Fitzpatrick (608) ) Any equipment moved into the doffing room needs to be cleaned Ventilator Equipment Move the equipment to the PPE doffing room. Use #23 to wipe down all surfaces of the equipment, including the wheels Leave machine in the room while the Xenex machine runs Move outside the PPE doffing room, cleaning the wheels as it crosses the red line.

5 Use bleach wipes to wipe down all surfaces of the equipment, including the wheels. Xenex the PPE doffing room with the equipment in the room. Move outside the PPE doffing room, cleaning the wheels as it crosses the red line. Place the equipment in the clean equipment room for storage. PAPR Belt and Battery Pack Will be disinfected with bleach wipes two times within the PPE doffing process. Place into the PAPR storage bin in the PPE doffing room. Spray the PAPR belt and battery pack with Quat #23, thoroughly wetting all surfaces. Wait 10 minutes. (The PPE doffing room will be cleaned during this time and waste removed.) Hang the PAPR belt from the IV pole within the PPE doffing room. Xenex the PPE doffing room. Bleach wipe the IV pole and roll to the red line to pass to second EVS worker, cleaning the wheels as it crosses the red line. Place the equipment in the clean equipment room. Connect each PAPR to the corresponding charger for future use. Run the Xenex machine following removal of waste and daily cleaning After the Xenex machine is run the IV pole that the belt and hoses are hung from should be wiped down with bleach and moved into the clean storage area for equipment, F6/556 Sign the daily cleaning log to verify that the cleaning of the doffing rooms has been completed for the day Discharge clean patient room, doffing room following discharge of patient Refer to document Terminal Cleaning F6/5 and ED Rooms Special Precautions Any staff that does any cleaning or disposing of waste requiring PPE for this isolation (ED, F6/5 discharge, elevator/following patient) need to be added to the patient room entry list These names need to go to Employee Health so staff can receive daily temperature monitoring and any other instructions given by Employee Health If patient is transferred to F6/5 via ambulance from an offsite clinic: Refer to Terminal Cleaning of Clinics Special Precautions document for dispatching staff to offsite clinic following preparation of CSC for admit Procedures for cleaning ambulance EMS WILL CLEAN AMBULANCE There will be supplies at the loading dock where the ambulance will drop off the patient to create a makeshift doffing area. Supplies will include: Red, biohazard barrel Red, biohazard bags

6 PPE kit (if PPE needs to be donned for transport) Bleach Wipes Purell Doffing Pad Any red bag waste generated by EMS will stored in the doffing room corresponding with the patient or put directly into a DOT container and into the shipping container located at the shipping dock *Trash removal process From patient room to doffing room Bags will need to be double knotted. Bags will then need to be sprayed with disinfectant (#23 quaternary cleaning solution) upon leaving patient room but before entering doffing room. o If there is excess liquid in the bag add a chux or absorbent material to soak up excess liquid. Upon entering doffing room Wiped down bags need to be placed inside of a 2 nd red, biohazard bag (knot up) and tied off using a double knot method. o The bags can then be stored in the doffing room until they are picked up for transport and/or storage (3x daily). o EVS will transport biohazard bags for storage and transport. Before being transported through the hospital the bags will then be picked up from the doffing room (person transporting bags at this point will don full PPE). This person will then wipe down or spray the exterior of the 2 nd bag with disinfectant before depositing the bag into the Category A shipping container. This container is a cardboard exterior lined with a bag, then a 39 gallon hard side red container and then lined with an additional bag. The bags from the doffing area can be placed inside the inner most bag. o An EVS employee will bring the Category A container on a moveable cart or dolly. The cart will be parked directly across the red line so the employee who has donned full PPE can set it into the container without having to risk contamination or dirty the clean area. The EVS employee who brought the container will not need to don full PPE but gloves are necessary. Before leaving the unit the container needs to be sealed by the person in the clean space who does not have on full PPE. The inner most bag will be sealed with a zip tie. Then the hard sided container will be sealed with the closing bar enclosed in the container. Then the outermost bag will be sealed with a zip tie. Finally the exterior cardboard container will be shut. At this point the container can be removed from the unit. Moving Category A container onto shipping container o Once the container is sealed it can be transported to the loading dock for storage or removal. The container will either be placed directly onto a truck for removal or into a storage container that will be stored on the loading dock.

7 *Hazardous pharmaceutical waste should be placed in a separate Category A container and labeled dual waste. This container will be shipped to a different facility for disposal. * Trash removal We will not be adding a disinfectant to the inside of the single biohazard bag for the following reasons: 1. Spraying into an Ebola contaminated biohazard bag could generate aerosols containing Ebola virus, thus putting the healthcare worker at greater risk for contaminating themselves and also contaminating the surrounding environment. 2. Pouring a liquid disinfectant into an Ebola contaminated biohazard bag creates a greater possibility of fluid overload in the bag and a greater risk to healthcare workers if the bag were to break, spilling the contents of the bag. **All staff that has to don PPE to do any sort of cleaning for a suspected patient needs to have their names added to the patient room entry list. This list will be given to Employee Health so staff can receive daily temperature monitoring and any other instructions given by Employee Health. F6/5 Layout
