Follow-up on Post 00509E, 00510E, 00512E and 00514E
3 April 2003
Janet Vail (mailto:[log in to unmask]) and Debra Kristensen
(mailto:[log in to unmask]) inform us that the report of the "Comparative
Study Evaluating the Surface Contamination of the Test Article (PATH Needle
Puller, WHO Safety Box, Needle Removal Using a Plier)" is available. You
can access the document directly at
http://www.technet21.org/Namsareport2002.pdf or by visiting the Technet21
website (PATH Documents sub-page). Please note however that this document
is rather large at over 3 Megabytes.
Another document has also been made available on the Technet21 website
under PATH Documents, "Assessment of Needle Destroyers for Improved Sharps
Disposal:
A Survey of Needle Destroyer Manufacturers, July 2000".
It is available at :
http://www.technet21.org/needledestroyers2000.pdf
The Technet website has been modified. A top logo/banner has been
introduced, compliments of the group "Shop of Miracles" from Turkey who
designed it. Our sincere thanks to them. The pictures and story for the
"Best Practice" corner, and the travel quiz have also been changed.
Finally, another organization has submitted reference documents. Abt
Associates/Partnerships for Health Reform has now a sub-page accessible
through the "Reference Documents" page. Those who are interested in
economic aspects of immunization programs will certainly welcome this addition.
