Some topics that will be discussed include patient placement, patient care, donning and doffing personal protective equipment and how to transfer and dispose of waste from care of the patient.<br /><br />This course is intended primarily for healthcare workers and teams in a biocontainment unit or special pathogen isolation area. Additional medical staff and public health professionals may also find the course to be of benefit. Those individuals may include but are not limited to, medical and nursing staff, administration, education/training leadership, and infection control leadership. Staff specializing in emergency management, communications, specialized clinical areas, laboratory, facilities management and environmental services are also welcome.

SCOPE:<br />The SCDU follows a defined set of protocols for activation of the Unit. Because the SCDU must be prepared for a wide range of infectious agents, plans exist to respond as appropriate based on the agent and clinical presentation of the patient. Consideration must be given to appropriate safe transport into the Unit, as well as the safe delivery of care for patients while in the Unit.<br /><br />PURPOSE:<br />To establish a process to eliminate infectious pathogens from a room previously occupied by a patient with a serious communicable disease.

Hazardous Materials: Infectious Substances; Harmonization With the United Nations Recommendations
<a href="/items/browse?advanced%5B0%5D%5Belement_id%5D=49&advanced%5B0%5D%5Btype%5D=is+exactly&advanced%5B0%5D%5Bterms%5D=Waste+Management">Waste Management</a>
The requirements adopted for the UN Recommendations establish a two-tiered classification system for Division 6.2 materials—Category A and Category B. A Category A infectious substance poses a higher degree of risk than a Category B infectious substance. A Category A material is an infectious substance that is transported in a form that is capable of causing permanent disability or life-threatening or fatal disease to otherwise healthy humans or animals when exposure to it occurs. An exposure occurs when an infectious substance is released outside of its protective packaging, resulting in physical contact with humans or animals. Category A infectious substances are assigned to UN 2814 (for substances that cause disease in humans or in both humans and animals) or UN 2900 (for substances that cause disease in animals only). The following are examples of Category A infectious substances. Please note this list is not all inclusive and is provided only as guidance (https://www.federalregister.gov/d/05-9717/p-26).

The United States recently had a case of Mpox virus diagnosed in a patient in Dallas County, Texas. Organizations in the U.S. now preparing for the potential need to handle patients under investigation or patients with the Mpox virus must also consider both the solid and liquid waste associated with such patients. It is also important to develop a communications strategy to alleviate concerns from the general public associated with both the solid and liquid waste.

Medical waste is a subset of wastes generated at health care facilities, such as hospitals, physicians' offices, dental practices, blood banks, and veterinary hospitals/clinics, as well as medical research facilities and laboratories. Generally, medical waste is healthcare waste that that may be contaminated by blood, body fluids or other potentially infectious materials and is often referred to as regulated medical waste.
