Yes. Staff using the chemical disinfection system must be adequately trained in, and assume responsibility for, the correct use and operation of the system. JLA provides guidance and training to staff so that they can properly use the OTEX system to aid in compliance with regulatory standards. According to sections 4.20 to 4.24 of HTM 01-04, chemical disinfection of linen is deemed to be as effective as thermal disinfection, provided that a number of different conditions are met: The chemical disinfectant has been tested in the design phase to ensure that adequate disinfection will take place during wash cycles The dosing mechanism for the chemical disinfectant should be automatically controlled The machine has a monitoring system that will indicate whether or not there is a sufficient amount of chemical disinfectant for the cycle The machine will ‘indicate a failure’ if there is not enough of the disinfectant to satisfy the pre-determined requirements   Proof of successful chemical disinfection will be made available via a monitoring system OTEX has been designed to meet and even exceed these requirements.
