The linen is returned to the units in a covered container and placed in the <br />linen storage area. <br />HANDLING OF ISOLATION LINEN: <br />The linen referred to as "Isolation Linen" requires an awareness on the part <br />of all personnel involved in collection, transporting and sorting. It must <br />be identified until it arrives at the laundry. <br />Identifying bags constructed of a water soluble plastic will be used so that <br />once the contaminated linen is sealed, it will not be necessary to open it <br />until it is inside the washer. <br />With the double bag method, the outer bag is removed before placing the inner <br />water soluble bag and linen in the washer. Be sure not to touch the inner <br />bag. The outer bag is discarded in the contaminated waste. <br />(See end of this section for detailed procedure). <br />VISITORS <br />There shall be no visitors in the laundry unless authorized by the Administrator. <br />HOUSEKEEPING <br />1.
