		The Active Antisepsis control system provided a pre-set current through the flow cell that was independent of the system impedance.
		Flow cell #2 was intended to demonstrate a single application of the Klearsen Active Antisepsis control system after a biofilm had grown on a significant portion of the surface.
		After the second 48 hour challenge, the Klearsen Active Antisepsis control system was activated and the coupon was then treated according to the staining and plating protocol to determine colony counts and to image the percentage coverage.

	THE EFFECTS OF SODIUM HYPOCHLORITE ON MESOPHILIC AEROBIC BACTERIA
		The animals were submitted to antisepsis of the interdigital space with sodium hypochlorite solutions at 0,5% or 1,0% concentrations, or with distilled water (constituting the control group).
		In veterinary medicine, sodium hypochlorite is used for antisepsis of mammary glands, and for “pre-dipping” and “post-dipping” of milking equipment for disinfecting, at concentrations of 2% to 4% of active chlorine (7, 8).
		For antisepsis of mammary glands, solutions of 2% and 4% concentrations are regularly employed, due to the minimum time of contact required (7, 8).

	AORN Journal: Improved rates of compliance with hand antisepsis guidelines: a three-phase observational study - ...
		During phase three, 475 instances of hand antisepsis were observed, indicating an 8.4% increase from phase two.
		Hand antisepsis increased 32.8% two to six weeks after the alcohol-based gel products were made available and continued to increase at 10 to 14 weeks after the intervention.
		The mean duration of hand antisepsis was 9.4 seconds (standard deviation = [+ or -] 4/9), which is too short for soap and water to be effective in preventing microbial carriage.

		Unless this issue is addressed in the next set of national guidelines, even the most vigilant health care worker will find it difficult to meet the criteria for both good hand hygiene and appropriate patient care.
		From the point of view of infection control, handwashing and hand antisepsis are intended to prevent hand-borne infections by removing microbial skin flora.
		In addition to understanding the guidelines for handwashing and antisepsis, health care professionals should also understand the value and limitations of glove use (see Gloves—An Adjunct, Not a Replacement, for Hand Cleansing).

	Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health-Care Settings Recommendations of the Healthcare Infection Control Practices ...
		Next, handwashing or hand antisepsis by the worker must be inadequate or omitted entirely, or the agent used for hand hygiene must be inappropriate.
		In a recent study, the acquisition of various health-care--associated pathogens was reduced when hand antisepsis was performed more frequently by hospital personnel (74); both this study and another (75) documented that the prevalence of health-care--associated infections decreased as adherence to recommended hand-hygiene measures improved.
		Further studies are warranted to determine the relative efficacy of alcohol-based rinses and gels in reducing transmission of health-care--associated pathogens.

		Klearsen has proposed a development program to be conducted in phases intended to 1) validate the efficacy of the therapy, 2) optimize the materials or coatings, delivery fields, and the treatment protocols, 3) cost reduce and miniaturize the implantable electronics where applicable, and 4) produce selected products suitable for clinical trials.
		Utilizing these techniques, the specific surfaces to be energized, the time that they are energized, the depth of penetration, and the rate at which the ions are perfused into the surrounding tissue can all be precisely controlled to provide effective antiseptic treatment for diverse clinical requirements.
		This technology may be readily applied for treatment of infections of the skin, for wound care, and for the antiseptic maintenance of long term indwelling medical devices.

	NGC - NGC Summary
		Hand antisepsis, achieved by hand-washing or surgical scrub with antimicrobial containing soaps or detergents or by use of alcohol-based antiseptic handrubs, is recommended in the following instances:
		In settings where hand-washing facilities are inadequate or inaccessible and hands are not soiled with dirt or heavily contaminated with blood or other organic material, alcohol-based handrubs are recommended for use.
		Health care personnel with dermatitis may be at increased risk of exposure to blood-borne pathogens during skin contact with blood or body fluids because the integrity of the skin is not present.

	Stamps (Spring 1999)
		Among the most remarkable achievements in the history of medicine, one that made possible the development of modern surgery, was the development of the concepts of asepsis and antisepsis.
		Unaware of Semmelweis' work in Vienna, Lister attempted chemical antisepsis for wounds, using carbolic acid dressings in compound fractures, amputations and other clean and dirty surgical wounds.
		He published his work in the Lancet in 1867 and revolutionized surgical procedures, enabling the development of modern surgery, even before specific bacteria were identified.

		Recommended Practice VI “Policies and procedures for surgical hand antisepsis should be developed, reviewed periodically, and be readily available in the practice setting,” the proposed guidelines state.

		"Poor Semmelweis—130 years since the publication of his classic studies, yet his findings remain misunderstood and misquoted!...it was the observation by Semmelweis of failure of bland soap handwash to prevent healthcare workers from spreading puerperal sepsis that led to his investigations of chlorine hand antisepsis for control of cross-infection.
		In general, hand hygiene products fall into three catagories: hand cleansing, hand antisepsis, and surgical scrubbing.
		For any of these particular uses, the products should be effective, convenient, eddicient, and harmless to healthy skin.

		Aseptic conditions, in contrast, are designed to preserve a wound from contamination by germs.
		The importance of antisepsis was recognized in 1847 by Ignaz Semmelweiss (1818-1865), when he identified the cause of the deadly fever that affected parturients in a Vienna hospital ward.
		Semmelweiss determined that the ward was attended by students who had earlier taken part in autopsy exercises.
