In accordance with the specifications of the Robert Koch Institute, DesiCoach® combines the three most important learning objectives of effective hand disinfection in one product for the first time.

I. Dosing quantity

The right amount for your individual hand size 

➞ Depending on the individual hand size, about 3 to 5 milliliters are needed to wash the hands complete and sufficient to wet.

II. Rubbing technique

The most effective techniques for complete wetting 

➞ With a series of skilled and individually practiced hand movements, all skin areas completely wetted become.

III. Order

Your routine for fixing vulnerabilities 

➞ The order of the movements is important to avoid areas where the liquid is difficult to spread. to wet first.

With these steps
you achieve the learning objectives:

Step 1 – 2

I. Dosing quantity

The dyer shows after about 1 minute based on the color intensity, whether you have used the sufficient dosage for your individual hand size.

Tip: Counting pump strokes is generally inaccurate - due to the variable dosage of the dispenser. It is better to develop a feeling for the individual amount in the palm of your hand. Because only with the optimal amount of disinfectant do you have a chance of completely wetting both hands and achieving the exposure time of usually 30 seconds declared by the manufacturer. If, on the other hand, too little disinfectant is applied, the wetted area is significantly reduced! ^[1]

Step 1 – 2

II. Rubbing technique

With the Dyer dyes the fabric slightly delayedThis means that when rubbed in, the dye is still "invisible" - just like conventional disinfectants.

After about 1 minute, the result of your disinfection will be visible. This will help you to learn a self-responsible rubbing technique.

Step 3 – 4

II. Rubbing technique

With the decolorizer, the subsequent decolorization takes place immediately and without any time delay.

This key mechanism supports you in direct improvement your own disinfection technology. This allows you to optimize the handling during application.

Tip: The disinfectant should be rubbed into both hands so that the entire surface of the hands remains wet for the duration of the application time. With a series of skillful movements, all skin areas can be wetted before the disinfectant evaporates. Individual abilities also play a role: for example, whether you are left- or right-handed.

Step 3 – 4

III. Order

The decolorizer shows where the liquid has been effectively applied and where it has not.

Based on the pink color residues, you can analyze after decolorizing whether you have Sequence your hand movements to reach particularly difficult to disinfect skin areas punctual to wet.

Tip: Scientific studies have shown that the method of 'individual routine' better results than strictly imitating a 'prescribed procedure'. ^[2] This learning objective is therefore about developing an independent and individual routine that ensures that critical skin areas are particularly well disinfected (finger sprays first!).

The learning objectives show what is really important in training. When used correctly, the training method with DesiCoach® helps us to achieve our learning objectives visibly easily.
