Disinfection and sterilization are essential for ensuring that medical and surgical instruments
do not transmit infectious pathogens to patients. Because sterilization of all patient-care items
is not necessary, health-care policies must identify, primarily on the basis of the items' intended
use, whether cleaning, disinfection, or sterilization is indicated.

Disinfection describes a process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms,
except bacterial spores, on inanimate objects. In health-care settings, objects usually are
disinfected by liquid chemicals or wet pasteurization. Each of the various factors that affect the
efficacy of disinfection can nullify or limit the efficacy of the process.

Cleaning is the removal of visible soil (e.g., organic and inorganic material) from objects and
surfaces and normally is accomplished manually or mechanically using water with detergents
or enzymatic products. Thorough cleaning is essential before high-level disinfection and
sterilization because inorganic and organic materials that remain on the surfaces of
instruments interfere with the effectiveness of these processes. Decontamination removes
pathogenic microorganisms from objects so they are safe to handle, use, or discard.
