What is the procedure for terminal cleaning of an incubator?
The procedure involves washing each part of the incubator and then disinfecting it with a bactericidal agent. The incubator is a chamber that maintains a constant temperature and is used to protect premature or sick newborns. The objective is to reduce and inhibit the growth of existing bacterial flora, through the elimination of residues of secretions, blood, milk formulas, and solutions that can represent a means of transmission of infections to the neonate. The procedure should be performed from the least contaminated area to the most contaminated area. The procedure involves using a detergent, a bacteriostatic, a broad-spectrum disinfectant, and a synergistic action, such as endozime, which inactivates and eliminates blood, mucous matter, fecal matter, and vomit. The procedure involves cleaning the incubator with a cloth, starting from the head to the feet, on both sides of the mattress.
