The Disinfection Solution, Infection Control Education Institute™:"Sterilization eliminates all microorganisms. Disinfection eliminates all pathogenic microorganisms on inanimate objects, except the most resistant organisms, bacterial spores. The choice is made between a sterilization or a disinfection process based on how the medical device will be used or what areas of the body it will contact along with the level of risk for transmitting an infection. For this discussion, medical devices include any instruments, devices, or equipment that may be involved in the transmission of an infection to patients or to healthcare personnel."
High-level Disinfection, AORN Center for
Nursing Practice:"In our OR we use a 2% glutaraldehyde solution for high-level disinfection. The manufacturer's directions indicate an exposure time of from 10 to 45 minutes, with 45 minutes recommended for high-level disinfection. In the past we used a 20-minute soak time until the manufacturer's label changed."

Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases:"The Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, National Center for Infectious Diseases (NCID), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), was established in the early 1950s as the Disease Ecology Section of CDC to deal with arbovirus encephalitis viruses in the western United States. In 1967, the unit moved to its present location in Fort Collins, Colorado, and in 1974, it became the Division of Vector-Borne Viral Diseases. In 1989, the division was given the responsibility of developing a national Lyme disease program and was renamed Division of Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases to reflect its responsibilities for Lyme disease and other zoonotic bacterial infections."
