Infection control: 2008 review and update for electroneurodiagnostic technologists

Abstract:
In 1995 and 2000, recommendations for infection control in electroneurodiagnostic laboratories were published in this journal (Altman 1995, Altman 2000). This article is an update of those recommendations, reviewing books, journal articles, and information appearing on the Internet from 1995 through 2008. Knowledge of current infection control practices and recommendations is essential for every electroneurodiagnostic technologist, no matter if you work in a hospital, in an ambulatory setting, in an intensive care unit, or in the operating room. All technologists who have direct patient contact are responsible for ensuring effective infection control.

Cleaning
The cleaning process usually involves using water with detergents or enzymatic cleaner and removing foreign material from objects and surfaces, including organic material such as body fluids or inorganic material like soil. Cleaning is performed before high-level disinfection and sterilization because foreign materials on the cover of the devices interfere with process...
