Clinical staff will strictly follow basic infection control practices between patients (i.e. hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfecting shared equipment).
|
| • |
Limit transport and movement of the patient outside the operatory.
|
| • |
X-ray imaging that can be completed in the operatory will be prioritized over panoramic imaging to reduce patient movement throughout the office.
|
| • |
No other team member should enter the room during a procedure. If necessary, that team member will use PPE as described above.
|
| • |
Once the patient has left the operatory, clinical staff without adequate PPE should refrain from entering the operatory until sufficient time has elapsed for our air purifiers to remove potentially infectious particles.
|
| • |
After this time has elapsed, the room should undergo appropriate cleaning and surface disinfection before it is returned to routine use.
