Further information
- The procedure or medical gown is the main method of protecting your clothes and skin from infection. With the help of ANSI/AAMI guidelines, the Food and Drug Administration established the gold standard for protection barrier levels all gown manufacturers must meet.
- Barrier levels are based on potential exposure to blood, bodily fluids and other potentially infectious materials. The classification of barrier protection levels range from one to four and are based on the hierarchy of risks.
- The hierarchy ranks medical procedures by exposure risk, accounting for the type and volume of fluid involved in the procedure, and the duration of exposure. FDA evaluates the gown material's resistance to water and blood penetration for four different areas of the gown — the front chest, sleeve seam, sleeve and front belt.
- Here are the 4 barrier levels:
- Level 1: Minimal risk, to be use used, for example, during basic care, standard isolation, cover gown for visitors, or in a standard medical unit;
- Level 2: Low risk, to be use used, for example, during blood draw, suturing, in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), or a pathology lab;
- Level 3: Moderate risk, to be use used, for example, during arterial blood draw, inserting an Intravenous (IV) line, in the Emergency Room, or for trauma cases;
- Level 4: High risk, to be use used, for example, during long, fluid intense procedures, surgery, when pathogen resistance is needed or infectious diseases are suspected (non-airborne).
