The Infection Prevention Society (IPS) is proud to support the launch of The Principles of Medical Device Decontamination, a new resource from the Central Sterilising Club.
This guide gives healthcare professionals a simple, clear introduction to cleaning and decontaminating reusable medical devices. While there are many detailed rules and standards out there, there hasn’t been one easy-to-use source that explains the basics.
A group of experts from the Decontamination Professional Experts Communication Forum (DPECF) put this guide together. It explains key ideas, practical points, and where to find more detailed information. It’s designed to help anyone new to the field or looking to improve their knowledge.
IPS contributed to the guide and fully supports it, showing our commitment to keeping patients safe and promoting good infection prevention across healthcare.
You can access the guide online through the Central Sterilising Club’s website.
