                                                                The Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, 2008, presents evidence-
based recommendations on the preferred methods for cleaning, disinfection and sterilization of patient-
care medical devices and for cleaning and disinfecting the healthcare environment. This docume...nt 
supercedes the relevant sections contained in the 1985 Centers for Disease Control (CDC) Guideline for 
Handwashing and Environmental Control. 1 Because maximum effectiveness from disinfection and 
sterilization results from first cleaning and removing organic and inorganic materials, this document also 
reviews cleaning methods. The chemical disinfectants discussed for patient-care equipment include 
alcohols, glutaraldehyde, formaldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, iodophors, ortho-phthalaldehyde, peracetic 
acid, phenolics, quaternary ammonium compounds, and chlorine. The choice of disinfectant, 
concentration, and exposure time is based on the risk for infection associated with use of the equipment 
and other factors discussed in this guideline. The sterilization methods discussed include steam 
sterilization, ethylene oxide (ETO), hydrogen peroxide gas plasma, and liquid peracetic acid. When 
properly used, these cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization processes can reduce the risk for infection 
associated with use of invasive and noninvasive medical and surgical devices. However, for these 
processes to be effective, health-care workers should adhere strictly to the cleaning, disinfection, and 
sterilization recommendations in this document and to instructions on product labels.

The EUCAST Steering Committee has carried out the current update. The document has been developed mainly for routine use in clinical laboratories and doesnot cover technical... procedures for identification of resistance mechanisms at a molecular level by reference  or  expert  laboratories. However,  much  of  the  content  is also applicable tonational reference  laboratories.  Furthermore,  it  is  important  to  note  that  the  document  does  not  cover screening for asymptomatic carriage (colonization) of multidrug-resistant microorganismsor direct detectionof resistancein clinical samples.
