Desinfección de Alto Nivel (DAN)

High-level disinfectants are used for devices that will come into contact with patients. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions. These disinfectants are selected with the consultation and approval of the Infection Prevention and Control Committee. They have a shelf life and a useful life, and their selection involves several factors: the type of microorganisms to be eliminated, the specific use of the item to be disinfected (Dr. Earle H. Spaulding classification), the use of PPE, staff training, etc.
