[MCOH-EH] Disinfection product consisting of hydrogen peroxide, peroxyacetic acid, and acetic acid

[Hudson, T. Warner]

We are not planning on bring this product here at the present time and do not currently use it I am told .  I hear there is a class action lawsuit from some workers though that is second hand.

Colleagues in Medical Center Occupational Health:

Interested in dialogue and insights from any of you working for systems that used, are using or considering use of the above product type for cleaning.  It is touted as exceptional in its eradication of C. diff I am told, but I have questions regarding its suitability for employees with active or passive exposures.  See the link above.

Have your systems had a positive or negative experience with this product, e.g. complaints or accident reports?
Any special handling, PPE or training required or made necessary because of complaints/concerns?

Thanks,

Michael
