All of our residents who require slings have their own personally named sling. These are washed weekly on a schedule.
Our falls slings are for anyone who falls who does not use a sling or whose sling is not appropriate. These are washed after each use.
Any sling that is used and soiled is washed immediately.
Hope this is helpful.

Hi,
The attached doc from The Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning associations is a good resource. It is specifically looking at air conditioning during COVID. This is a version from last year so check to see if it have been update.

AMAC-consulting@outlook.comHI All,
Can anyone give me any direction in regards to what to do with air-conditioning/ heating systems at a Residential Aged Care site in the event of a COVID outbreak.
Given that COVID has been spread at some of the medi hotels via air-conditioning systems and in particular the Delta strain.
Is the thought that the air-conditioning would be turned off in zones affected?
Your thoughts and guidance greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Kathleen

Hello Kathleen
According to US CDC, there is still no clear evidence that transmission of any covid variants is possible in sufficient numbers to infect people, through the ducting of central air conditioning systems.
They have previously recommended high ventilation rates (fresh air) of around 4 air changes per hour or greater, to dilute any aerosolised particles.
Most hotels dont use central ducted plant for the guest bedrooms. And very little fresh air into the split systems or fan coil units that serve them. What they need to do is keep the toilet exhaust operational all the time to keep the each room under a slight negative pressure.
rom what I have read, the delta variant makes more copies of itself in a much quicker time within the infected persons. So may require higher ventilation rates than the variants before.
But, to answer your question, I dont think there is a clear answer and certainly not without knowing the type of a/c system and the ventilation rate etc.

Hi Lalith,
Thanks for the information. Our sites vary with the air conditioning units and types due to ages of the buildings. Appreciate the prompt information

Hi Kathleen
The jury remains out on this and has been a constant source of problems for us in Victoria.
The current infection control guidelines V27.1 from Victoria dept of health has a section about AC and HVAC including a table re different ways to accommodate.
Bottom line is fresh air and leaving toilet exhaust fans on while not ideal is acceptable if no other ways are available.
Cutting down on any treatments that could create aerosols is also important – nebulisers and CPAP. Keeping doors closed during and 30 minutes post treatment another mitigation strategy.Sarah

The attached doc from The Federation of European Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning associations is a good resource. It is specifically looking at air conditioning during COVID. This is a version from last year so check to see if it have been update.

HI All,
Can anyone give me any direction in regards to what to do with air-conditioning/ heating systems at a Residential Aged Care site in the event of a COVID outbreak.
Given that COVID has been spread at some of the medi hotels via air-conditioning systems and in particular the Delta strain.
Is the thought that the air-conditioning would be turned off in zones affected?
Your thoughts and guidance greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards
Kathleen
