High-Level Disinfection REDUCING THREAT TO HEALTH AND SAFETY

Any time a patient has contact with a medical device or medical equipment, there is a risk of acquiring an infection. This is especially true when undergoing surgery and other invasive procedures, such as endoscopy. Pathogens can remain on the device if it is not cleaned, disinfected, and/or sterilized properly, and the risk of transmitting pathogens to the next patient who has a procedure performed with the device increases. The Joint Commission Infection Prevention and Control (IC) standard IC.02.02.01 requires organizations to implement activities to reduce the risk of infections associated with medical equipment, devices, and supplies.
