In this video we demonstrate sealing remains in a bio-safety level 4 containment body bag using a BioSeal System 5 Portable System.
The advantage of the portable system is that in addition to functioning via a standard AC outlet, it has its own power supply which allows for use in locations where access to a standard AC outlet is not available.
It is appropriate for use in clinical and non-clinical locations, by healthcare professionals, law enforcement, coroners, and by disaster response teams after a mass casualty or pandemic event.
To develop pathogen specific protocols for the safe handling of human remains for your organization, visit the CDC website below for guidance:
CDC - Guidance for Safe Handling of Human Remains of Ebola Patients in U. S. Hospitals and Mortuaries: https://www.cdc.gov/vhf/ebola/clinicians/evd/handling-human-remains.html
In this video we review the components of the BioSeal System 5 Portable System.
The BioSeal Portable System provides the equipment needed to safely contain human remains in a bio-safety level 4 containment body bag.
The portable system has its own power supply and is appropriate for use in hospitals, by law enforcement and by disaster response teams.
Please follow your organizational policies and procedures when using this system.
Correct donning, doffing and reuse techniques when using procedure and/or surgical masks is essential in helping to prevent contamination from, and the spread of pathogens of concen.
This video demonstrates these techniques including mask storage via paper towels and paper bags when being used in a limited reuse situation.
Additional information on paper bag storage can be found in the Nebraska Medicine video "Proper Donning & Doffing of Procedural and Surgical Masks".
In this video we demonstrate potential approaches for donning and doffing of an N95 filtering facepiece respirator in a Limited Reuse situation. This video was developed based on the CDC guidelines for NIOSH approved N95 respirators.
Please note: During this extraordinary time of the COVID-19 pandemic, institutions are developing methods to extend wear and reuse N95 respirators. These methods are needed in order to preserve the supply of N95 respirators for patient care. The information in this video should not be interpreted to contradict facility-specific directions and special decontamination and reuse programs.
For the full set of guidelines please visit the following CDC website: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/hcp/ppe-strategy/decontamination-reuse-respirators.html
In this video we demonstrate the critical safety steps involved in correctly donning and doffing an N95 disposable filtering facepiece respirator, and how to perform a seal check prior to rendering patient care in any setting. We also show the most common mistakes made when placing the straps on your head.
In the early phases of a novel infection, airborne protection is commonly used. In order to protect first responders and healthcare providers from exposure to airborne and novel pathogens, the correct use of an N95 respirator is an important first step.
Suit support personnel are a vital part of a decon team. In addition to assisting with the donning and doffing of team members PPE, they also help with such tasks as taking vital signs, and ensuring decon team members are properly hydrated.
