TAILIEUCHUNG - Microbiological standard (EN) in instruments disinfectant

Quantitative laboratory tests to establish that a product has bactericidal, fungicidal, yeasticidal, mycobactericidal, tuberculocid, sporicidal or virucidal activity when applied to a surface or skin under stimulated practical conditions (eg surface, instrument, handwash and handrub test). | Microbiological standard (EN) in instruments disinfectant Microbiological standard (EN) in instruments disinfectant Objectives 1) To provide an overview of European Standards on chemical disinfection testing focusing on instruments disinfectant. 2 What is the role of an disinfectant? 3 What is the role of an disinfectant? A disinfectant role is to reduce the number of microorganisms on an instrument or surface before they can be used on another patient. 4 Why is it important to understand EN Standards? It is not uncommon for manufacturers of disinfectants to advertise a long list of antimicrobial claims on their product labels. A common reason is to outnumber the claims of competitors and prove the superiority of their products. It is therefore important in medical settings to understand how these claims are supported by independent laboratory tests. 5 Introduction In Europe, the process of making claims for a disinfectant intended for use in the area of human medicine, veterinary or food, industrial, domestic and institutional areas is guided by EN 14885:2018. 6 Can be applied on 3 areas: 1) Medical 2) Veterinary 3) Food, industrial, domestic & institutional 7 Introduction This guideline lists basic laboratory tests that a particular chemical disinfectants must pass, in order to validate antimicrobial claims by manufacturers. This would include:- 1) test methods 2) specific test microorganisms 3) test conditions 4) Log reduction requirements. 8 9 Formulation of New EN Standards Draft standard drawn by working group(WG) Approved by Technical Committee(TC) Public comment (“enquiry”, comment by National Standards bodies – after consultation) Redrafting Publication as EN Formal vote by CEN (European Committee for Standardization 10 Instrument disinfectants According to EN 14885:2018, all instrument disinfectants intended for use in the medical area must pass .
