WHAT ARE PATHOGENS?
As defined in Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary, a pathogen is " a microorganism or substance capable of producing a disease". Although the risks are many, among the more seious risks to those responding to day-to-day exposures, biohazard spills, or other emergencies are HIV ( the virus that causes AIDS ) and Hepatitis. Cycletrol's Personal Protection Kits are designed to minimize that risk. All body fluids should be considered potentially infectious, especially in a spill situation where the source of the spill or medical background of the victim(s) is unknown. Following is a partial list of body fluids that, when encountered, should be approached with all due respect and suitable protection.
Blood or Blood Products Vomit Semen Urine Vaginal Secretions Uterine fluids from pregnant women Fluids surrounding the brain, spine or joints Fluids in the chest or abdomen Salvia containing visible blood ( such as that encountered in dental procedures ) Any other excertion or secretion

UNIVERSAL PRECAUTIONS AND METHODS OF COMPLIANCE

Universal Precautions "Universal Precautions" is a method of infection in which all human blood and body fluids are treated as if they are known to be infected with serious pathogens as HIV or Hepatitis. " Universal precautions are to be observed in all situations where there is a potential for contact with contaminated body fluids. Under circumstances in which determination between body fluids is difficult, all body fluids are to be considered potentially infectious.
 
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) Personal Protection Equipment is equipment designed to protect the user from contact with potentially infectious material. That equipment may include gloves, masks, aprons, face masks, protective eye wear, footwear or other protective items. The type of protective equipment appropriate for a given task depends on the degree of exposure anticipated. Under normal conditions, protective equipment must not allow potentially infectious material to contact work clothes, street clothes, undergarments, skin, or membranes.
