But the process is more nuanced than it may appear, with far reaching implications for infection prevention.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>What is compatibility?<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n<em>Surface 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<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beckershospitalreview.com\/quality\/consider-compatibility-safeguarding-financial-health-standards-of-care.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PDI Healthcare&#8217;s Senior Scientist, Chris Snively, PhD, wrote an article on compatibility for the Becker&#8217;s Hospital Review.
