Aseptic technique refers to a procedure that is performed under sterile conditions. This includes medical and laboratory techniques, such as with culture s. It includes techniques like flame sterilization. The largest example of aseptic techniques is in hospital operating theatre s. Medical procedures Aseptic technique is the effort taken to keep patients as free from Nosocomial infection hospital micro organisms as possible Crow 1989 . It is a method used to prevent contamination of wound s and other susceptible sites by organisms that could cause infection. This can be achieved by ensuring that only sterile equipment and fluids are used during invasive medical and nursing procedures. Ayliffe et al. 2000 suggest that there are two types of asepsis medical and surgical asepsis. Medical or clean asepsis reduces the number of organisms and prevents their spread surgical or sterile asepsis includes procedures to eliminate micro organism s from an area and is practised by surgical technologists and nurses in operating theaters and treatment areas. In an operating room, while all members of the surgical team should demonstrate good aseptic technique, it is the role of the scrub nurse or surgical technologist to set up and maintain the sterile field.

A barrier isolator , or simply an isolator , is a device that provides a physical barrier between a laboratory technician and a work process. Isolators are routinely found within the pharmaceutical industry , and with the recent implementation of USP 797 Pharmaceutical Compounding Sterile Preparations , a set of sterile compounding standards issued by the United States Pharmacopeia , are increasingly used in pharmacy applications. They are designed to provide an isolation of a process or the maintenance of an internal condition e.g., Asepsis sterile or aseptic . Isolators may operate at positive, negative, or ambient differential atmospheric pressure pressure . Isolators may provide personnel, product, or environmental protection, or any combination thereof. They are used throughout industry, from orange juice filling lines to cytotoxicity cytotoxic drug compounding to electronics manufacturing. Regarding pharmacy applications, because people are the greatest source of contamination during aseptic manufacturing of drugs, reducing personnel interventions into the process zone has significant impact on the efficacy of the final drug product. In the mid 1980s, the industry began to employ barrier isolators, and later, in the 1990s, Restricted Access Barrier System s, or RABS, to separate people from the process. The acronym RABS was coined by Stewart Davenport of Upjohn now Pfizer . Since that time, the technology and applications of these systems has developed and broadened significantly.

Terminal Cleaning describes a cleaning method used in healthcare environments to control the spread of infections. Justification Nosocomial infections claim approximately 90,000 lives in the United States annually. When patients are hospitalized and identified as having methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus or infections that can be spread to other patients, best practices isolate these patients in rooms that are subjected to terminal cleaning when the patient is discharged. Procedure File ER Terminal cleaning.jpg thumb right NAV CO2 Non flammable Alcohol Vapor in Carbon Dioxide systems being used as the final step in sanitizing a swing out toilet in a hospital ER exam room.
