Information on Isolation Gowns And Standards

 Isolation gowns that are non-surgical are considered Class I devices meaning exempt from premarket review. They are intended to protect the person wearing one from the transfer of microorganisms and fluids from the body in low or minimal risk in those situations where patients are isolated such as those sick with Covid-19. These gowns are not for wearing during:

  • Surgical procedures

  • Procedures that are invasive

  • Situations when there is medium to high risk of contamination Isolation gowns that are non-surgical are considered Class I devices meaning exempt from premarket review. They are intended to protect the person wearing one from the transfer of microorganisms and fluids from the body in low or minimal risk in those situations where patients are isolated such as those sick with Covid-19. These gowns are not for wearing during:

Coverage

Like isolation gowns for surgery, non-surgical isolation gown should cover as much of the body as is needed for the task. All areas of the non-surgical isolation gown except cuffs, bindings, and hems are considered to be critical zones for protection and have to meet the very highest level of liquid barrier protection for which the isolation gown is rated. All seams need to have the same protection of liquid barrier as the rest of this gown.

Labeling

Labeling that shows on these gowns need to show how the product was tested and must meet appropriate standards of performance is one way that users as well as procurers have to determine when to use a particular isolation gown.

Consensus standards

The performance of these isolation gowns needs to show the following standards:

  • Method of sterilization that was used.

  • Describe the method that validates the sterilization cycle, but not the validation data itself.

  • Reference to a standard method used to establish FDA-recognized standards.

  • Sterility assurance level for which this gown is intended to be met.

  • Description of packaging to maintain the device’s sterility.

  • If radiation sterilized, the radiation dose.

Standards of contact with skin

These types of isolation gowns are considered to be able to have contact with intact skin for up to 24 hours. There are FDA recommendations that must be evaluated and met in this area.

Biodegradability, reusability and safety of protective clothing

  Microplastic pollution, known as "pm2.5 in water", has become a direct source of pollution in the ocean, soil and drinking water, affecting human health. Medical   protective coveralls   is almost made of different polymer materials. The development of a new material can replace the existing material to form a new series of products. As most of the existing   protective suits  are designed to be disposable, they are used heavily during the pandemic. Used medical   protective clothing   should be disposed of centrally to prevent secondary transmission of the virus. Therefore, protective clothing materials must be developed to be repeatable and degradable. Due to the particularity of application scenarios, most medical  protective gown  is disposable. Therefore, environment-friendly materials should be considered in the development of medical  protective gown , and must be considered before material selection and protective clothes desig...

Production process of medical protective clothing

  Generally speaking, the production of medical   protective coveralls   needs to go through the steps of raw material preparation, cutting, stitching, tightening, adhesive and pressing, finished products, sterilization and disinfection, warehousing and so on. Among them, sterilization and disinfection takes the longest time. Ethylene oxide is mostly used for sterilization and disinfection of materials, which requires 7-14 days of analysis, seriously affecting the production efficiency of medical   protective gown , and a more efficient sterilization method is urgently needed. Irradiation sterilization can be sterilized without disassembly and assembly, which is efficient and prevents secondary pollution. In 2011, Japan has listed the operation specifications of irradiation sterilization in the sterilization standard for protective clothing, which will reduce the sterilization time to less than 1 d. In order to address the shortage of medical protective clothes durin...
