Overview

Primary prevention of Mycobacterium abscessus requires avoiding exposure to tap water or tap water ice of surgical wounds, intravenous catheters, and injection sites. Tap water or tap water ice should not be used in the operating rooms, particularly in cardiac surgeries or mammoplasty, or in outpatient clinics where plastic surgery procedures are performed.[1] Subjects should avoid receiving procedures or injections by unlicensed persons.

Primary Prevention

  • There should not be exposure to tap water or tap water ice of any of the following:[1]
    • Surgical wounds
    • Intravenous catheters
    • Injection sites
      • Avoid chloride based disinfectant
      • Avoid multidose vials
    • Endoscope
      • Automated endoscopic washing machines
      • Manual Cleaning
  • Tap water or tap water ice should not be used in the operating rooms, particularly in cardiac surgeries or mammoplasty.[1]
  • Tap water or tap water ice should not be used in the outpatient plastic surgery procedures, such as mammoplasty and liposuction.[1]
  • Anyone who touches or cares for the infected site should wash their hands carefully with soap and water.
  • Patients should follow all instructions given by their healthcare provider following any surgery or medical procedure.
  • Subjects should avoid receiving procedures or injections by unlicensed persons.
