Applicator
✓ A term referring to either single-use and reusable spatula or similar
devices
Antiseptic

tissue and has an effect of limiting optimally preventing infection

✓ Microscopic organisms that are too small to be visible to the naked
eye. They are capable of causing infection when a person is exposed
to them under certain circumstances, such as through abraded skin
(eg. staphylococci, streptococci)
Bacterial Spores
✓ Some microorganisms are able to survive in very harsh conditions by
enveloping themselves with this thick wall. They make bacteria highly
resistant to killing. If they are introduced to the body where conditions
become more favorable—when there's more water or more food
available—the bacteria "come to life" again, transforming from a spore
back to a vegetative cell that can cause serious infection. They can be
destroyed by sterilization only
Blood borne infections
✓ Infections caused by viruses found in the blood such as hepatitis B virus
(HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
Body Fluids

✓ Fluids normally present in the body such as blood, mucous, sweat, oil,
saliva, urine, ooze from a festering sore, or tears. They may contain
infectious organisms.
Cleaning
✓ Refers to the process of removing blood, other body fluids, organic
material, tissue, and dirt from the surface of an object by scrubbing
with a brush, detergent and water. It greatly reduces the number of
microorganisms (including bacterial endospores) on items and is a
crucial step in processing. If items haven't first been cleaned, further
processing might not be effective.
Contamination
✓ A disinfected or sterile item or surface that becomes soiled with
microorganisms
Cross-contamination
✓ The transfer of microorganisms from one surface to another or from
something contaminated to something clean or sterile
Detergent
