DISINFACTS | Issue 1/2022

11 In this issue you will find: A double-sided poster on the topic “Efficacies of disinfectants: Viruses”. The poster is the start of a series of posters that will appear in the future with each new issue of DISINFACTS. With the first poster we explain questions about the efficacy of disinfectants against viruses. On one side we explain the differences between enveloped and non-enveloped viruses and also explain what “limited spectrum of virucidal activity” efficacy means. On the back of the poster you will find the corresponding test methods.

Measures such as hand and surface hygiene for the basis for avoiding nosocomial infections. HARTMANN is committed to combating nosocomial infections with the HARTMANN SCIENCE CENTER ( HSC) and Mission: Infection Prevention (M: IP®) and is raising awareness of the importance of basic hygiene with the symposium series “Safety first – Rethinking Infection Prevention”, which was launched virtually on 11 November 2021 in German-speaking countries. In the kick- off event “ Basic hygiene in motion – approaches to infection prevention”, Professor Andreas Widmer (Swissnoso National Centre for Infection Prevention & WHO) provided insight into how the binding Swiss minimum standard came about. In addition , Dr Tobias Kramer (Charité Berlin & Aktion Saubere Hände) and Professor Johannes Knobloch (University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf) explained common mistakes in hand hygiene and the importance of surface hygiene in health care facilities. The great interest shown in the inaugural event encourages us to further expand this offer in the future as an internationally event.
