skin but not penetrating soft tissue or bone
non-critical - items used in PT care but not oral
mucosa membranes, much lower risk of
transmission
levels of disinfection low - kills some bacteria, microorganisms, viruses
but not Tb or spores
intermediate - kills Tb, but not necessarily spores
high - kills Tb and some spores, but not
guaranteed to kill all spores
germicide chemical agent used to disinfect items/surfaces
based on level of contamination
sterilization validated process of rendering ALL viable forms
of microorganisms inactive (kills all spores)
