High Level Disinfection
In the event that you feel a high level disinfection is necessary due to equipment contact with broken
skin, or being used with infected or immune compromised patients, the same patient contact surfaces
may be high level disinfected with a liquid chemical germicide rated for high level disinfection. The
same process used as that for intermediate level disinfection is generally followed; however, the time
of contact is usually much longer for high level disinfection.
