Effects of sequential training sessions with visual success control on the quality of hygienic hand disinfection
Try it out!
The Europe-wide study PERFECT (Pan-European Research on visual Feedback Effectiveness in Clinical hygiene Training) is carried out in cooperation between the Friedrich Schiller University Jena and the Heyfair GmbH carried out.
The aim is to investigate the effectiveness of training in hygienic hand disinfection using visual success assessment. Participants complete three standardized training sessions with DesiCoach® 2Go over a period of several weeks. The evaluation is carried out anonymously by the University of Jena on a scientific basis.

This is how it works
2.1 Participants
To participate you can 1 to 3 people be selected by yourself – ideally they are staff from the hygiene sector.
Each person leads 3 training sessions with a time interval within 6 to 12 weeks The training takes place on-site at any time and lasts approximately 5 minutes.

Data protection: All training data is recorded completely anonymously – no personal or facility-related data is ever collected.
2.2 Practical training with digital recording
The training is carried out with DesiCoach® 2Go, consisting of Dyers and bleachers: The training fluids are rubbed in like hand disinfectant and make the dosage and wetting gaps directly visible on the hands.
The training is accompanied by the associated Online instructionsA smartphone or computer is required for this. No other equipment is necessary.
Submit results: The results are easily entered using the online instructions and then submitted to the study. You can find access to the instructions directly on the training packaging. No worries: It is a completely normal website – eAn app does not need to be installed.

We will get back to you with the results
The study is divided into several phases and will last approximately 16 months. Following data collection, statistical analysis, preparation of a final report, and feedback to the participating clinics will follow. The results will also be published to professional circles.
During and after the study, your facility will receive results reports. This provides insight into the development of disinfection quality and potential areas for improvement.

Step 1
Dosage of Colorizer
For the disinfectant to be effective, it must soak in for at least 30 seconds. This requires a sufficient dosage amount.
Find your own dosage amount.
Depending on hand size, different amounts of disinfectant are needed. 3 ml is recommended for average-sized hands. However, in daily practice, usually too little (Ø 1.7 ml) is used.

Step 1
Rub in thoroughly
Forget that you are in a training session. Disinfect during your first training exactly as you usually do. This is the best way to learn from potential errors.
First, disinfect fingertips, nail folds, and thumbs, as these have the highest germ density. And don’t forget your wrists.
Step 2
Check dosage amount and coverage
To check the correct dosage, compare the color intensity with the color scale in the online instructions. Also check your hands for any gaps in the wetting process.
Do you have only a pale coloration despite a sufficient dosage amount? Then check if too much dripped off during application.
Step 3
Apply Decolorizer
Use approximately the same amount as you did for coloring. Make sure that very little drips off when transferring it to both hands.
Step 3
Rub in thoroughly
The dye will now decolorize immediately. You can see right away which coverage is achieved by your specific movements.
See how you can adjust your movements to truly achieve full coverage of your hands.
Step 4
Check sequence and coverage
Check your hands thoroughly for any potential color residue. You will recognize which areas were not covered at all or were covered too late and will need faster attention in the future.
Nail folds and skin furrows, dry skin patches, or long fingernails are not only harder to disinfect but are also areas with high germ density.
You can fix the problem by wetting critical skin areas right at the start.
And afterwards ...
Automatic evaluation
Wash your hands after the training.
Now you can open the evaluation page to see your training results.
PERFECT: If you participate in the study, the results will be automatically and anonymously transmitted to the project participants.
