    Patient Equipment and General Cleaning Checklist

    for Clinic-Based Staff (All Health Care Workers)

    Depending on the function of patient equipment in use, cleaning requirements may be


    classified as either:

     after patient contact


     between patient contact
     on a daily basis
     on a weekly basis

    All equipment should be assessed and cleaned thoroughly. The cleaning checklist should
    be completed after each clinic session.

    Equipment must be cleaned using detergent wipes. The following is the exception to this:

     If blood or bloodstained fluids are identified, please clean area/equipment using


    a Spill-pak. wear PPE (i.e. disposable gloves and apron)

    White mops are available for all other spillages.

    The clinical environment must be tidied daily and kept clutter-free.

    Any non-essential notices or displays on walls, windows or doors throughout the clinic should
    be removed in order to ensure that the general environment is maintained in a tidy and ‘de-
    cluttered’ fashion. Notices or posters need to be laminated if possible in order that they can
    be cleaned/wiped as necessary.

    If any equipment is found to be in a poor state of repair, it must be taken out of use and
    reported, repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
