Cleaning and disinfection of patient care equipment used in the home setting.
Bringing medical equipment and devices into the home that has not been properly cleaned and disinfected constitutes an important reservoir for transmission of infection. By effectively combining the use of hand washing, barrier precautions, and meticulous cleaning and disinfection with an EPA-registered product, we should be able to continue to keep the home environment a safe place for our patients to receive care.
