Reducing HAI’s and SSI’s

The Q Shield system provides a unique and effective way to reduce the costs associated with hospital-acquired infections (HAI) and surgical site infections (SSI). With its persistent surface kill and microbe-free hands, the Q Shield system offers a hard-wearing, durable solution that controls odors and does not promote resistance. Experience the benefits of this revolutionary system today.

  1. Reducing HAI’s and SSI’s Q Bio Technologies Ltd

  2. Costs associated with HAI • £1, Billion Per Year (England)1 • £183, Million per year (Scotland)2 • 3.6 Million Bed Days1 1, Plowman R,. The socioeconomic burden of hospital acquired infection . Euro Surveill 2000;5(4):49-50 2, Health Protection Scotland,. NHS SCOTLAND NATIONAL HAI PREVALENCE SURVEY July 2007

  3. Incidence of C. difficile C. difficile: no. of cases per 1,000 bed-days patients aged 65 years and over: 2004-6 Health Protection Agency,. Results of Mandatory Surveillance, January 2008

  4. In the UK Population: 59.6 million1 • Approx. 9% UK patients acquire an infection in the hospital2 • Annual cost of HAI in the UK is approx £1 billion • Approx. 5,000 UK patients die of hospital associated infections (HAI) annually • 77% of post op deaths have a related SSI • HAI are thought to be a contributing factor in the death of 15,000 UK patients3 1) www.statistics.gov.uk 2) Emmerson, AM,The National Survey of infection in hospitals- overview of results, J Hosp Infect, 1996; 32: 175-190; 3)UK National Audit Report: www.nao.org.uk

  5. Breakdown of Hospital Acquired InfectionsEngland NHS Skin Other LRT BSI SSI UTI Note: 37,111 patients from 15 centres were studied over a 15 month period from May 1993 to July 1994 in two month study periods and a mean hospital acquired infection prevalence rate of 9% (range 2-29%) was calculated.

  6. Current Approaches • Adopting best practice • Anti-Microbial gel/ soaps • Surgical scrub technique and solutions • Impregnated medical devices • Standard daily cleaning • Specialist cleaning programs • Treatment of areas after outbreaks (Bioquell)

  7. Variations of Q Shield • Q Bioshield 1 - limited initial knock down, persistent surface kill • Q Bioshield 2 - has initial knock down and persistent surface kill • Q Shield – kills faster and more than alcohol • Hand sanitizer 50ml, 100ml, 600ml (foam) • Skin sanitizer 100ml, 600ml (spray) • Surface sanitizer 100ml, 500ml (spray)

  8. The Q Shield System “Provides a mechanism where every surface in a hospital plays an active role in reducing Healthcare Acquired Infections” “Provides microbe free hands for all staff, visitors and patients, all day and all night”

  9. What is unique about the Q shield system • 1. Mode of action of 3 TSP molecule. • 2. Pathogens killed, why no resistances. • 3. Persistent nature of molecule. • 4. How it is delivered/ used.

  10. Additional information • http://cw11.empowereddoctor.com/miracle-mist-lays-down-antimicrobial-shield-in-hospitals • Papers, and research evidence (EN1500) • Media • YFH footfall increase and contracts won • Numbers of users going up in the UK, Canada, Germany, China, Gulf states.

  11. Summary of benefits • Hard Wearing and durable • Does not rub off or migrate (leaching) • Controls or eliminates odours • Does not promote resistance • No arsenic, tin, heavy metals, or polychlorinated phenols • More than 30 years of safe and effective use

  12. Summary • The kill potent of the Q Shield system is far greater than that of the current methods of sanitation. The real benefit of the 3TSP molecule is the persistent kill, this should be the number one reason for purchase for all varieties. It does 2 key things; • 1 Significantly reduces the chances of re colonisation of the treated surfaces/ skin. • 2 Reduces costs – direct and indirect.
