Medical asepsis removal or destruction of microorganisms or contaminated materials
Bioburden Actual or suspected relative number of microorganisms found in an
area or on an item
Surgical asepsis Procreation against would infection pre-, inter-, and post- operatively
through aseptic technique
aseptic technique Containment of microbial contamination on animate surfaces via
mechanical and/or chemical means
Sanitization A means of reducing microbes
Antisepsis Infection prevention through the inhibition of microbial growth
sterile technique Prevention of microbial contamination on inanimate surfaces via
mechanical, chemical, thermal, or nuclear means.

Disinfection The process of destroying all microorganisms, except spore bearing
ones
Sterilization The process of destroying all microorganisms including viruses, fungi,
and fungal spores as all forms of bacteria and their spores by using
sterilants or sporicidal agents
Level 1 of contamination prevention High level asepsis for critical items; required for any items introduced
to internal body areas or areas with high risk of infection if
contaminated with microorganisms, including bacterial spores
Level 2 of contamination prevention Intermediate asepsis for semi-critical items; used for those items that
contact mucous membranes or broken skin
Level 3 of contamination prevention Low level or non crucial items; used for those items that contact intact
skin only
What are the surgical supply preparation phases? Decontamination or cleaning, preparation/assembly/ and packaging,
terminal, and storage
