Antimicrobial Testing Services | Health Care Personnel Hand washBioScience Laboratories has performed more than 100 healthcare personnel handwash studies per the Tentative Final Monograph (TFM), pp. 31448-31450. Formally, the studies involve 18 subjects per product tested, which, at a minimum, will be two – a test product and a reference product required for internal validity of studies performed for FDA approval. The general concept of this antimicrobial test is to determine how effectively handwash products or products designed for application without water can eliminate transient, contaminative bacteria from the hands. BioScience Laboratories frequently designs relatively inexpensive, proof-of-concept studies of healthcare personnel handwash products, which require fewer subjects per product and relax certain other of the requirements mandated by the TFM, but which are well-designed statistically. Data from these studies are not intended for submission the FDA, but to indicate whether products are worth funding in a full clinical study. Watch a video of the Finger Pad Method.
