Sterilization processes are always important in dental practices to protect your staff and your customers. During the Coronavirus pandemic, everyone is especially concerned about proper procedure. You have to follow Instructions for Use (IFUs) and properly sanitize and sterilize your instruments. In this episode of Talking with the Toothcop, Stephen Kovach—whom I am now referring to as the “Godfather of Infection Control”—joins Andrea and myself to chat about the importance of sterilization processes. Stephen Kovach is Educator Emeritus at Healthmark Industries and has been in the medical field since 1975—now celebrating his 45th year in Healthcare. He is a member of IAHCSMM orthopedic council for loaner instrumentation and a voting member on various AAMI committees. He’s published numerous articles varying in subject matter from perfusion to the importance of cleaning surgical instruments. Outline of This Episode [0:22] Stephen Kovach joins Andrea and I [2:14] Stephen’s tremendous wealth of experience [4:05] Instrument sterilization and cleaning [10:13] The importance of IFUs [19:03] Stephen’s thoughts on hinged instruments [26:55] The legal precedent for following IFUs [34:45] Get rid of rusty instruments [37:25] What to monitor with water quality [50:31] Why you need 2 full-sized sterilizers [52:20] Coronavirus and infection control The importance of proper sterilization and cleaning According to my research—which I will publish at some point here—9/10 offices aren’t doing a good enough job cleaning their instruments. When I recently heard Stephen speak, he pointed out that “When you sterilize dirty instruments the end result issterile dirt”. Every dental office NEEDS to have a quality management system in place—and most don’t. Stephen points out that dentists need to be referencing the AAMI ST79—The “Comprehensive Guide to Steam Sterilization and Sterility Assurance in Health Care Facilities”. But most aren’t. Why? Stephen and I agree it’s because the high price ($400) is a barrier to entry. While their information is proprietary, it would be wise to have this information widely disseminated for the safety of our patients. What you may not know about Instructions for Use (IFUs) I’ve talked about IFUs before and have emphasized the importance of acquiring and referencing them for proper instrument sterilization. They outline the exact cleaning and sterilization process step-by-step to ensure proper cleaning of the tools. What you may not know is that device manufacturers have tested this repeatedly, and to get their products to market the FDA HAS to approve the IFUs they’ve submitted. They don’t just slap instructions together willy-nilly. It is a well-researched process that you need to follow. I’ve been surprised how many dental professionals have no idea what I’m talking about when I ask them if they’re using their IFUs. Turns out, IFUs can be hard to obtain. I’ve even asked a device rep for an IFU and was told point-blank it was only provided to clients. Some can be found online—but not all are readily available. Stephen and I agree you must seek out and obtain IFUs for any tool or instrument you use. Follow at the very least the minimum requirements for sterilization and go above and beyond when possible. Keep listening for our discussion on cleaning hinged instruments. Document your procedures to protect your practice Stephen has been a part of many depositions where professionals are asked how they documented their process and how they followed their IFUs. If they stray from the directions on the IFUs they must state why they think their cleaning procedure was superior to that of the manufacturer. If you stray from the proper sterilization procedures and a patient's illness or even death is traced back to you—you’re in serious trouble. You must be able to prove in a court of law that you followed the instructions properly and show documentation. Some professionals claim they were told something different by the manufacturer—but have no concrete proof. Stephen recommends that if you contact the device manufacturer and they verbally tell you a process that contradicts the IFU—get it in writing. Ask them to outline the company letterhead and mail it to you for records. But if all else fails, following the IFU is the ultimate protection. Why following instructions are SO important during the Coronavirus Pandemic Stephen was quick to point out that he sees some of the best pre-infection control in dental offices. His personal dentist washes his hands in front of him, uses hand-sanitizer, puts on a mask and safety shield, and protective eyewear. Continue to practice these basic means of infection control—but do it correctly. Stephen has noticed that most people don’t even know how to properly use Clorox wipes. The contact time of the solution on the surface is of the utmost importance. Most people quickly wipe down surfaces with a wipe and call it good. But if you read the instructions (which vary) it states that the surface must remain visibly wet for up to 4 minutes to properly sanitize. Read the instructions people! Contact time is also important for hand-washing. The longer you wash your hands (experts say you can sing the “Happy Birthday” song in your head) the more effective you are removing bacteria, viruses, etc. Proper sterilization techniques are more important than ever during the pandemic—not because it was less important before—but because it brings you and your patients peace of mind in a time of chaos. Listen to the whole episode for our discussion on critical water, proper training, and how many sterilizers are necessary.

Sit Your Way to Better Health For Office, School, Health Care Facilities, Nursing Homes Strong Spirits Mindfulness & Movement Chair Yoga Program with Jessica Rosenberg Did you know that the baby-boom generation is turning 65 at a rate of 8,000 people a day and expected to almost double by 2030? There is a huge demand for Chair Yoga movement based wellness services. Join Jessica Rosenberg, who’s materials have been studied and researched by the University of Minnesota, Center for Spirituality and Healing for an interactive and educational Chair Yoga - Breathing & Movement Intensive. Learn dynamic, safe, and effectively ways to enrich the lives of abled and disabled people through the positive yogic principles and mindfulness practices that are incorporated into Chair Yoga. Chair Yoga’s therapeutic adaptive exercises work the body from head to toe promoting wellbeing. The movements help to alleviate chronic pain, relieve high anxiety and stress levels, elevate quality of life, lower blood pressure, improve sleep patterns, and manage depression. The modified stretches are great for people in any condition to do anytime and anywhere, whether in a yoga studio, in a school classroom, at a business as a mid-day office break, or in a nursing home facility. The workshop is packed full of practical tools to become a qualified Chair Yoga teacher - poses, breathing exercises, games, and relaxation techniques - for you to create infinite number of engaging classes. We will also be discussing many topics from the benefits of yoga fitness in a chair, anatomy, body-mind connection, and props. You will even have an opportunity to develop and present to the group your own Chair Yoga pose. At the end of the course you will come out with an abundance of knowledge and creative ideas to teach with. • Yoga novices, parents, grandparents, caregivers, or school educators are welcome to attend. • No experience teaching yoga necessary. • Chair Yoga book on iTunes / iBooks: http://apple.co/1bjoEF2 The University of Minnesota, Center for Spirituality and Healing, implemented a research project, March 2014, on Jessica’s Strong Spirits Mindfulness & Movement Program training manual to prove the viability of Chair Yoga with the elderly. Through the data and information compiled they observed that, “Chair Yoga has had positive impacts on cognitive function, fatigue, mood [less anxious and less complaints], engaged with each other more, and quality of life [mood improved] in the residents and has given them an overall sense of well-being.” According to the Mayo Clinic, “Chair Yoga poses can help seniors and people with chronic pain improve their quality of life, lower their blood pressure, improve their sleep patterns and manage depression.” Chair Yoga is a modified way of approaching the yoga asanas so that people with health issues or restrictions can reap the benefits of a more traditional Hatha yoga fitness practice and promote wellbeing in their lives. *** This is a live recording from a Strong Spirits Mindfulness & Movement Teacher Training ~ Chair Yoga Workshop with Jes Rosenberg.

Today’s show is something that most of us misunderstand, we don’t know how to talk to our customers about it, and we simply do not know what the right information is and where to go find it. We are talking about the L word today; Legionella. We are going to get to the bottom of what Legionella is, what we need to know about it, how we explain it to our customers, and how we get everybody working together towards a common goal. Episode 9: Show Notes We welcome Dr. Janet E. Stout, she is the president and director of Special Pathogens Laboratory, and research associate professor at the University of Pittsburgh Swanson School of Engineering in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. A clinical and environmental microbiologist, Dr. Stout is recognized worldwide for more than 30 years of pioneering research in Legionella. Her expertise includes disinfection and control strategies for the prevention of Legionnaires’ disease and other waterborne pathogens. She is credited as the first to demonstrate the link between Legionnaires’ disease and the presence of Legionella in hospital water systems. Key Points From This Episode: Janet shares with us about who she is and what she does. Learn how Legionella cannot be treated by all kinds of antibiotics, only certain selected ones. Find out what the signs and symptoms are of Legionnaires disease. Understand what a water treater can do to prevent Legionella. Learn what building owners need to understand about cooling towers and utility water systems and the questions we need to be asking these owners. Hear how New York is the first to have a law that requires building owners to adhere to specific requirements. Janet tells us where to get information on the guidelines and standards for Legionella. Find out what the Ashrae 188 document is all about, and how it is used. Understand what the different serogroups for Legionella are. Hear how there is a lot of freedom in the standard 188 for you to make decisions. Understand why Ashrae 188 in New York only deals with the water in cooling towers. Learn more about the Centre for Medical and Medicaid Services Document on Ashrae 188. Find out why you need to test for Legionella and what systems you should be testing. Understand how to test for Legionella in the facility and how it benefits. Hear how only about 30-50% of cooling towers are positive for Legionella. Janet tells us what to do if your test for Legionella in the water comes back positive. Learn how decisions made need to be evidence-based. Understand the procedure on the collection part of the Legionella test. Learn about the ELITE program developed by the CDC. Find out what to look for in the laboratory you choose to do your testing. Learn more about what dual biocides are and how they should be used. Understand why it’s important to have a water management program. Hear what’s an acceptable free chlorine and what to test for when you’re testing chlorine. Find out why you need to take negligence off the table. Janet tells us what she sees around the topic of Legionella that needs to stop. And much more! Tweetables: “The symptoms of legionnaires disease is no different than the symptoms of other forms of pneumonia.” — @specialpathogen [0:08:00.0] “I always try to have a little lawyer on my shoulder when I am advising our clients on Legionella management.” — @specialpathogen [0:32:07.0] Links Mentioned in Today’s Episode: Dr. Janet E Stout — http://www.specialpathogenslab.com/ Email Janet — jstout@pathogenslab.coom Janet on Twitter — https://twitter.com/specialpathogen Ashrae Website — https://www.ashrae.org/ CDC Website — https://www.cdc.gov/ US Environmental Protection Agency — https://www.epa.gov/ Legionella — http://legionella.org/ The treasure trove of resources she mentioned — http://www.specialpathogenslab.com/resources-1.php CDC Legionella Toolkit — https://www.cdc.gov/legionella/maintenance/wmp-toolkit.html Here is some more information on CDC, AWT, ASHE and CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) concerning Legionella, ASHRAE 188 and water management plans. The CDC just released “version 2” of their Toolkit & VitalSigns publications that were first released in June of 2016 – the message and advocacy is still very strong and clear that building owners have an ASHRAE 188 compliant “Water Management Plan” (or better) – w/this year’s focus and data particularly on Healthcare Facilities! The VitalSigns document title is: Legionnaires Disease – A Problem for Health Care Facilities! Here is a copy of CDC's VitalSigns, MMWR and a Link to the CDC Toolkit. AWT quickly responded to the CDC releases w/their own press release of the CDC – note that the CDC (now) specifically recommends contacting a “water treatment professional” for water management plan development – and not a “plumber”. ASHE also responded w/acknowledgement of the CDC focus on Legionella management in healthcare facilities – see ASHE News. Maybe the most significant event is the CMS update memorandum (effective immediately 6/2/17) that has very specific expectations/requirements for health care facilities receiving CMS funds to have an 188 equivalent water management plan AND “environmental testing for pathogens” (Legionella).
