To keep each other safe, it is critical we adhere to correct cleaning procedures for the electronic devices we use.
A helpful factsheet for cleaning your electronic devices has been created to show you how and when they should be cleaned before and after use.
It includes devices used for documenting patient information such as WOWs, laptops and tablets; items in each patient’s room like the TV/Nurse Call remote; personal and shared devices such as pagers and phones; and office and hot desk devices such as computers and desk phones.
Templates for daily and weekly cleaning schedules for Workstations on Wheels (WOW) have also been created so that you can regularly record your WOW cleaning.
For more information, please refer to the Clinical Equipment Cleaning Procedure on PROMPT.
