Demystifying the Disinfectant Label: A Step-By-Step Approach for Success

Every day Infection Preventionists (IPs), Environmental Services Professionals, and other healthcare personnel face significant challenges due to evolving technology, healthcare reform and, of course, time constraints. Monitoring and selecting healthcare products that are continually released, updated and retired from the marketplace adds to these challenges. Surface disinfectant products are no exception.  Choosing the right disinfectant products must be a carefully made decision but it shouldn’t be burdensome. This Webinar will provide a methodical approach to evaluate and effectively use healthcare disinfectants so you can be sure you are making the right decision for your facility. Topics covered include:

   •  Understanding Product Labels
   •  Evaluating Broad Spectrum Efficacy Claims
   •  Adhering to Overall Contact Time
   •  Meeting Regulatory Requirements for Compliance with US EPA FIFRA requirements
   •  Educating Staff to Improve Compliance and Outcomes
