Excerpt:<\/p>\n

When it comes to preventing healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), the importance of thoroughly and effectively disinfecting surfaces might seem self-evident. But the process is more nuanced than it may appear, with far reaching implications for infection prevention.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is compatibility?<\/strong><\/em>
\nSurface material compatibility \u2013 the ability of material to be exposed to a disinfectant\u2019s chemistry without exhibiting reduced functionality as a result \u2013 exists when a material\u2019s chemical resistance aligns with a disinfectant\u2019s particular chemical profile. When the two are in sync, a healthcare facility\u2019s devices can be properly cleaned and maintained, ensuring patient safety and streamlined operations. When overlooked or administered improperly, a lack of compatibility can lead to more rapid wear and tear of equipment material, a situation with serious implications for infection prevention and healthcare facilities overall.<\/em><\/p>\n
