The preferred methods for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of patient-care medical devices and for cleaning and disinfecting the healthcare environment.
What are the recommended Covid 19 Disease Control (CDC) Guidelines for Handwashing and Environmental Control.
It is well known that the maximum effectiveness from disinfection and
sterilization results from first cleaning and removing organic and inorganic materials using different cleaning methods.
The chemical disinfectants for patient-care equipment include
alcohols, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, iodophors, ortho-phthalaldehyde, peracetic acid, phenolics, quaternary ammonium compounds, and chlorine.
Based on the risk for infection, the choice of disinfectant,
concentration, and exposure time is associated with use of the equipment
and many other factors.
The sterilization methods include steam sterilization, ethylene oxide (ETO), hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, and liquid peracetic acid.
When properly used, these cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization processes can reduce the risk for infection associated with use of invasive and noninvasive medical and surgical devices.
Health-care workers should adhere strictly to the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization recommendations for these processes to be effective.
