MRI Machines Could Spread MRSA

There is no doubt that the best way to deal with the super bug MRSA is to prevent exposure in the first place. Of course this is easier said than done and it requires vigilance.
Community acquired MRSA is a major concern but there are still worries about hospital acquired MRSA. Most hospitals are doing an excellent job with sanitizing areas. Obviously it is an important task. But, a study out of Ireland has raised a key issue concerning a commonly used testing apparatus– the MRI.
If you think about it, the MRI is a place where people are brought in with everything from sports related injuries to major infectious diseases and illnesses. The Ireland study found that the MRI may be the toughest
Tool in the hospital to clean because of its design and a hard to clean area called the bore of the unit. The study finds that this sanitation should be placed at a premium because the potential from spread of MRSA is quite possible and happened in their study.
All hospitals are told to clean surfaces which come into contact with patients between every test but this report suggests rigorous attention to detail in the cleaning.
