What should be done with personal protective equipment after use in a dialysis facility?

Personal protective equipment (PPE) plays a crucial role in ensuring the safety of both healthcare workers and patients in a dialysis facility. After use, it is essential to dispose of PPE properly to prevent any risk of contamination or infection. This disposal usually involves placing the used PPE in designated biohazard containers to ensure it is handled correctly and safely.

Proper disposal minimizes the chances of exposure to infectious materials, adhering to established health regulations and protocols that govern infection control in healthcare settings. Maintaining strict protocols for handling used PPE is vital for the health and safety of everyone in the facility, thereby emphasizing the importance of proper disposal practices rather than attempting to reuse, wash, or donate used equipment.
