	Needle guard for body substance isolation - Patent 4878902
		The guard as set forth in claim 1 wherein said isolating means includes a tab disposed at the anterior end of said guard for enclosing the anterior end of said guard prior to use of the needle and for developing an aperture in the anterior end of said guard.
		A yet further object of the present invention is to provide guards for body substance isolation of both ends of a single hypodermic needle detachably attachable to a syringe.
		Since it is not unusual for a fluid or body substance to be coated upon the needle or drip from the point of the needle, containment of such fluid or body substance must be assured.

	Body substance isolation
		Body substance isolation is a practice of isolating all body substances (blood, urine, feces, tears, etc.) of individuals undergoing medical treatment, particularly emergency medical treatment of those who might be infected with illnessess such as HIV, or hepatitis so as to reduce as much as possible the chances of transmitting these illnesses.
		BSI is similar in nature to universal precautions, but goes further in isolating substances not currently known to carry HIV.

	Guidelines for Isolation Precautions in Hospitals
		The old category of Protective Isolation was deleted because of studies demonstrating its lack of efficacy in general clinical practice in preventing the acquisition of infection by the immunocompromised patient for whom it had been described originally (11,12).
		In 1987, a new system of isolation, called Body Substance Isolation (BSI), was proposed after 3 years of study by infection control personnel at the Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Washington, and the University of California at San Diego, California, as an alternative to diagnosis-driven isolation systems.
		Isolation precautions may make frequent visits by nurses, physicians, and other personnel inconvenient, and they may make it more difficult for personnel to give the prompt and frequent care that sometimes is required.

		This longstanding set of routine infection control precautions was developed in 1985 to prevent the transmission of hepatitis B virus, human immunodeficiency virus, hepatitis C virus, and other bloodborne pathogens during treatment procedures.
		Body substance isolation systems were designed to address isolation procedures of all moist, potentially infectious body substances, regardless of their presumed infection status.
		The distinguishing feature of these systems was the recommendation that health care workers wear gloves when anticipating contact with blood, secretions, mucous membranes, nonintact skin, and moist body substances during treatment of all patients.

	Prevention and Control
		Body substance isolation protects against bacterial organisms that may exist in body substances.
		Body substance isolation applies in all patient encounters regardless of the diagnosis.
		The application of gloves for contact with moist body surfaces and areas of nonintact skin, gowns when in contact with body secretions, and facial mask when in danger of contact with respiratory droplet secretions, prevents the contamination of both health care worker and patient.

		Waste from patient care areas with body substances in an absorbed form is considered to be general waste if it is in a leakproof bag, i.e., gloves, gowns, masks, dressings, emptied collection containers, etc. These items are placed into waste containers, collected with the general waste and compacted before transport to a landfill.

	Part I. Evolution of Isolation Practices (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		In 1910, isolation practices in US hospitals were altered by the introduction of the cubicle system of isolation, which placed patients in multiple-bed wards.(6) With the cubicle system, hospital personnel used separate gowns, washed their hands with antiseptic solutions after patient contact, and disinfected objects contaminated by the patient.
		By the mid-1970s, 93% of US hospitals had adopted the isolation system recommended in the manual.(7) However, neither the efficacy of the category approach in preventing spread of infections nor the costs of using the system were evaluated by empirical studies.
		Although disease-specific isolation precautions eliminated over-isolation, personnel might be prone to mistakes in applying the precautions, particularly if the disease was not seen regularly in the hospital,(9,10) if there was a delay in diagnosis, or if there was a misdiagnosis.

	Implementing and evaluating a system of generic infection precautions: body substance isolation.
		Body substance isolation (BSI) is a system of infection precautions intended to reduce nosocomial transmission of infectious agents among patients and to reduce the risk of transmission of hepatitis B virus, human immunodeficiency virus, and other infectious agents to health care personnel.
		Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, Wash., was the first facility in the United States to implement the BSI system.
		Between 1984 and 1988 a systematic evaluation of the implementation process was conducted and the effects of BSI on appropriate glove use by hospital personnel and on the incidence of nosocomial colonization and infection by sentinel organisms was measured.

		There is no way that you can know if a body substance is a "carrier." For that reason, is it smart to assume that all body substances are infected and do everything possible to avoid them.
		Your own body, when healthy, has an intricate system of protection, but you need to be attentive to your personal health habits, and do everything possible to protect your health.
