Some healthcare authorities are considering the use of portable ATP bioluminometers as a tool for standard setting for surface cleanliness to improve cleaning standards. Central to this approach is the use of a commonly accepted level of detected ATP—expressed as relative light units (RLUs)—that may be used as a surrogate for underlying soiling, including the presence of pathogenic microorganisms.It has been demonstrated that improvements can be made to cleaning processes with fluorescent markers through a simpler approach that provides a qualitative efficiency measurement of the cleaning process. Measurement of surface hygiene using ATP bioluminometers is thought to provide a more quantitative surrogate of surface cleanliness.

This paper reports a novel method of embedding thermally sensitive particulate and fibrous materials which overcomes many of these problems and facilitates AFM imaging of these difficult materials. The process involves partial embedding of the sample in a cyanoacrylate film polymerized at room temperature. The sample heating required in currently used methods of particulate embedding is avoided and the method is therefore suitable for thermolabile materials. The cyanoacrylate film provides a flat hard surface which is ideal for AFM imaging, and the method has allowed successful imaging of relatively large particulate and fibrous samples such as starch granules and cellulose fibres. The cyanoacrylate has the added benefit that shrinkage holes in the film allow easy visual identification of areas where the film may have partially covered the sample.

These methods each generate different types of information, presenting a challenge to the successful integration of monitoring results. A systematic approach to safety and quality control can be used to interrogate the known qualities of cleaning monitoring methods and provide a prospective management tool for infection control professionals. We investigated the use of failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) for measuring failure risk arising through each cleaning monitoring method. FMEA uses existing data in a structured risk assessment tool that identifies weaknesses in products or processes. Our FMEA approach used the literature and a small experienced team to construct a series of analyses to investigate the cleaning monitoring methods in a way that minimized identif...
