non-sterile environment. Other aspects of proper technique include
hand hygiene before handling medications and disinfecting the rubber
septum of the vial with alcohol before piercing it.
• Use single-dose vials for use on a single patient. Yes, even if the vial
contains more med-
ication that's needed
for one patient, don't
store the vial for later
use on the same or
other patients. Order
the smallest vial nec-
essary for your facili-
ty's needs.
• Discard medica-
tion vials, whether
single-dose or multi-
dose, whenever
sterility is question-
able. Discard a sin-
gle-dose vial that has
been opened or
accessed (punctured
by needle) per the
manufacturer's spe-
cific time guidance
for opened vials or at
the end of the case
— whichever comes
first. Don't store
opened single-dose

Simple. Efficient. Clean.
Why Add Microbes to Your
Mop Bucket?
After that, it's just a magnet for nasties—
Hair, lint, fungi, mold, even spores—
recirculating through the laundry.
Microfiber, while great at grabbing
up bioburden from hospital floors or
surfaces, is terrible at letting go even
when washed.

revolutionary. New microfiber every time
because our products are disposable.
Superior bioburden removal and liquid
sorbtion every time. And white in color
because they can be, unlike those other
mops that hide dirt and bacteria.
The Single Use Revolution is coming.
The truth is that microfiber really
works best the first time it's used.
