Principle 1 Asepsis is the aim for all invasive clinical procedures, including the maintenance and use of invasive clinical devices. ‘…from surgery to community care’ Sterile Clean Asepsis ‘Free from all micro-organisms’ ‘Free from marks & stains’ This is not achievable in typical health care settings This is not a satisfactory standard for invasive clinical procedures or maintenance of clinical devices ‘Free from pathogenic organisms In sufficient numbers to cause infection’ ANTT® Copyright 2015 www. antt. org This is achievable in typical health care settings enquiries@antt. org

Principle 2 Asepsis is achieved by a method called ‘Key-Part & Key-Site Protection’ i. e. By protecting Key-Parts and Key-Sites from microbiological contamination from the health care worker & the immediate environment. ANTT® Copyright 2015 www. antt. org enquiries@antt. org

Principle 3 Aseptic technique needs to be efficient as well as safe Surgical-ANTT is used for complicated procedures and Standard-ANTT for uncomplicated procedures. ANTT® Copyright 2015 www. antt. org enquiries@antt. org

Principle 4 To determine Surgical or Standard-ANTT, risk assessment is based on the technical

Principle 4 To determine Surgical or Standard-ANTT, risk assessment is based on the technical difficulty of achieving asepsis. To determine Standard or Surgical-ANTT consider the risk’s posed by: • Number & size of Key-Parts/Sites. • Environment • Invasiveness • Duration • Competency …. then ask this question ‘In order to maintain asepsis of Key-Parts and Key Sites, does the main aseptic field need to be managed critically’? (i. e. Only sterilized and aseptic equipment can come into contact with the aseptic field). Why is this important? Because risk assessment should be based on technical criteria that reflects the procedure risks; and that is reproducible between different healthcare workers ANTT® Copyright 2015 www. antt. org enquiries@antt. org Surgical-ANTT Yes No Standard-ANTT

Principle 5 Aseptic practice should be standardised Why is this important? Having a standard

Principle 5 Aseptic practice should be standardised Why is this important? Having a standard reduces variability in practice and reduces the potential for poor practice. It facilitates audit and evaluation. It has also been shown to facilitate ‘peer monitoring’. I. e. If a standard exists it is much easier for peers to informally monitor practice standards. Lastly, having a standard approach to care reassures patients. ANTT® Copyright 2015 www. antt. org enquiries@antt. org

Principle 6 The biggest risk to patients is the healthcare worker. Safe aseptic technique

Principle 6 The biggest risk to patients is the healthcare worker. Safe aseptic technique is reliant upon effective board level leadership, staff training in infection control, safe environments and fit for purpose equipment. Why is this important? Because safe aseptic technique is dependant upon these ‘foundations’. In particular, it has been shown that effective Board level leadership is essential.

Safeguard 1 Basic infective precautions such as hand cleaning & the disinfecting of medical devices significantly reduce the risk of healthcare worker and environmental contamination of Key -Parts and Key-Sites Why is this important? The healthcare workers presents the biggest risk of contamination and infection to the patient. ANTT® Copyright 2015 www. antt. org enquiries@antt. org

Safeguard 2 Identification and protection of Key-Part & Key-Sites are open wounds, including insertion

Safeguard 2 Identification and protection of Key-Part & Key-Sites are open wounds, including insertion and puncture sites. Key-Parts are the parts of the procedure equipment or medical devices that come into direct or indirect contact with other active Key-Parts, any liquid infusion or Key-Sites. ‘Key-Parts and Key-Sites must only come into contact with other active aseptic Key. Parts or Key-Sites or sterile liquid infusions’. Key-Parts and Key-Sites may be active or non active. For example, an IV port not in use is inactive. Non active key-parts must be rendered aseptic prior to use by cleaning and disinfecting. Why is this important? If contaminated during invasive clinical procedures or maintenance of invasive medical devices, Key-Parts and Key-Sites provide a direct route for the transmission of pathogens into the patient.

Safeguard 3 Non-touch technique is a critical skill that protects Key-Parts & Key Sites

Safeguard 3 Non-touch technique is a critical skill that protects Key-Parts & Key Sites from the Healthcare worker and the environment – for both Surgical and Standard-ANTT NTT in Surgical-ANTT Essential Desirable Why is this important? Because the best way to protect a Key-Part or Key-Site is simply not to touch it. (Even in Surgical-ANTT where practical). ANTT® Copyright 2015 www. antt. org enquiries@antt. org
