Abstract

The use of disinfectants can be a controversial topic, particularly in healthcare settings. The TGA has regulated the higher risk products for healthcare applications since 1996, but the impact of this regulatory framework is largely unseen in what has become a relatively condensed and specialised market place. The APVMA regulates disinfectants and sanitisers and supervises critical use through AUSVETPLAN. The use of disinfectants in healthcare is completely user-dependent and the latest literature suggests that understanding the regulatory framework and the vulnerabilities of an intended application will assist in promoting appropriate hygiene standards for surfaces and medical devices (instruments).
