Keeping People Safe By Effective Bio-decontamination of Hospital Equipments and Other Premises
Keeping People Safe By Effective Bio-decontamination of Hospital Equipments and Other Premises Decontamination is an important procedure of any infection prevention and control program in healthcare settings. It is often used in the hospital environment to ensure human safety. Therefore we can keep hospital areas safe by decontaminating healthcare equipment and other premises. Infection can be spread via inadequately decontaminated items. So effective bio-decontamination processes of medical devices ensure such equipment do not pose an infection risk for patients and healthcare workers. Failure to implement an adequate decontamination procedure increases the risk of infection. Decontamination of Hospital Equipments All hospital equipment is either single-use or reusable. Single-use equipment should not be reused and should be discarded appropriately after use. All reusable equipment must be decontaminated between use and between patients. Failure to decontaminat...
