CEMM has a Medical Device Establishment License for Class 1 Medical Devices (Licence Number 13754). Class 1 Medical Devices include non-surgical isolation gowns. You may download our MDEL by clicking the link on the top right of this page.
CEMM gowns are tested and certified by accredited labs including Nelson Labs and Groupe CTT. Test certificates are available upon request by emailing help@cemm.ca or submitting a message on our Contact Us page.
For our COVID-19 response initiative, CEMM set-up an entirely self-reliant domestic supply chain and is equipped to supply sufficient isolation gowns to hospitals and long-term care homes across the country (and even our neighbours to the South). CEMM Products are Made-in-Canada, unless specified otherwise.
Isolation gowns are an example of personal protective equipment, used to protect the wearer from the spread of infectious diseases. They are also used to help prevent the wearer from transferring microorganisms that could harm vulnerable patients, such as those with weakened immune systems.
Health Canada recognises 3 standards for medical gowns:
CEMM’s Isolation Gowns are tested against the ANSI/AAMI PB70 standards.
AAMI (The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) is the standard that establishes a classification system (Levels 1-4) for protective apparel used in health care facilities, including surgical gowns, based on liquid barrier performance using standardized test methods·
Level 1 gowns provide a minimal fluid barrier protection. They are used for standard precautions and simple procedures for example, during basic care, standard isolation, or in a standard medical unit.
Level 2 gowns provide minimal to low fluid barrier protection. They are used for minimally invasive surgery, during blood draw, suturing, in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), or a pathology lab.
Level 3 gowns provide moderate fluid barrier protection. Level 3 gowns are used for the widest range of surgical procedures, where moderate fluid protection is necessary. Specifically, for arterial blood draw, inserting an Intravenous (IV) line, in the Emergency Room, or for trauma cases.
Level 4 gowns provide the highest fluid and microbial barrier protection against blood-borne pathogens in critical zones. They are needed for long, fluid-intensive procedures, surgery, when pathogen resistance is needed or infectious diseases are suspected (non-airborne)
The Public Health Agency of Canada recommends that healthcare workers who are in contact with suspected or confirmed patients require facial protection, isolation gowns and gloves. A majority of dedicated COVID-19 hospitals wards are currently using Level 2 isolation gowns.
CEMM’s reusable isolation gowns have a long-lifespan and can be worn and washed over 75 times. After 100 washes, ANSI/AAMI PB70 Level 2 gowns can then be used as Level 1 isolation gowns.
CEMM recommends professional sanitization services to be used with any medical device. At-home laundering is an option. More recommendations on at-home laundering is provided in guidelines by the Association of Linen Management.
Unless specified otherwise on CEMM’s Isolation Gowns, please follow the following Care Code:
Coronavirus particles can be cleansed from the garment using warm water and soap. Please visit the Association of Linen Management for more COVID-19 laundering protocols.
