The idea
High-level disinfectants are chemicals used mainly for semicritical items, such as some endoscopes, that cannot be heat sterilized.
In practice
The disinfection guideline names glutaraldehyde, hydrogen peroxide, ortho-phthalaldehyde, and peracetic acid with hydrogen peroxide as dependable when used as directed.
Where people slip
These chemicals can harm staff, so ventilation and protective equipment are used.
