The purpose of this handout is to provide 1) an overview of factors to consider when developing and implementing an effective disinfection protocol, 2) an overview of chemicals used for disinfection, their advantages and limitations, and 3) essential steps of an effective disinfection protocol. Following development of a disinfection plan, it is equally important to train personnel of the proper procedures to use and safety issues involved as well as to have the steps posted in prominent locations throughout the facility to serve as a reminder of proper disinfecting techniques.

This review sought to provide an overview of proposed methods and protocols for processing surgical instruments contaminated with prions.
Belondrade M, et al.
A current limitation for validating decontamination/sterilization of surgical instruments is the lack of a rapid model permissive to human prions. The authors developed a prion detection assay based on protein misfolding cyclic amplification (PMCA) technology combined with stainless-steel wire surfaces as carriers of prions (Surf-PMCA).
McDonnell J, et al.
investigate the combination of cleaning, disinfection and/or sterilization on reducing the risk of surface prion contamination.
