Washing
Process
|
Hospital staff are all too aware
of the general principles and importance of infection control
on clinical equipment and surfaces. Yet how many of them have
stopped to consider the cleanliness of one of the most frequently
used pieces of modern day equipment – the computer keyboard.
It is unlikely that, you would find a clinical
area without at least one computer and with the aim of having
paperless hospitals utilising electronic patient records the
potential risk for cross infection from keyboards needs to be
seriously considered.
Many clinical areas will have at least one
centralised computer usually at the nurse’s station which
is accessible to all staff but this may be in addition to other
computers equally accessible in the surrounding clinical area.

- How often is a keyboard used in a single day
- How many different hospital staff will access the computer
- How many patients will those members of staff have come
into contact with prior to and following accessing the computer
The best method to prevent bacterial/viral
transmission and cross infection from computer keyboards to
staff to patients and so on is to have a keyboard that can be
adequately cleaned and disinfected.

at 1000ppm (the recommended level) gave the best results
with 100% kill of Staphylococcus aureus being achieved
for all inoculated keyboards."
