Carpuject use

Hello,

We are in the process of increasing and promoting the correct use of carpuject holders as indicated by the ISMP IV Push guidelines. A question has come up about infection control techniques. How does your facility use carpuject holders? Each nurse has their own and cleans with alcohol? Autoclaves? or patient specific? other?

Thank you in advance for your response.
