process of scrubbing to remove dirt and debris first level of infection control does not kill microbes

sanitizer product that can reduce microbes when applied to the skin cannot replace hand washing or used to wash tools or equipment

chemical products used to destroy or kill most bacteria (except bacterial spores), fungi and viruses on nonpourous surfaces

occupational health and safety administration enforces safety and health standards in the workplace enforces product labeling

safety data sheet (SDS)

designed to provide the key information on a specific product

ability to produce results of effectiveness

environmental protection agency approves efficacy of products used for infection control

EPA-registered disinfectant

effective to control spread of diseases on surfaces that are nonpourous also called broad spectrum disinfectant

EPA-registered hospital disinfectant

effective to work in a hospital setting on nonpourous surfaces most regulatory agencies require for incidents involving exposure to blood or body fluids

brush or comb disinfection procedure

1) remove all hair 2) wash throughly with soap and warm water 3) rinse and dry completely 4) immerse completely in disinfectant solution 5) remove with tongs or gloves 6) store in disinfected dry place
