What information should be posted on the container of high-level disinfectant?

The container of high-level disinfectant should include critical information such as the date of activation and the solution expiration date. This is essential for ensuring the effectiveness of the disinfectant; a disinfectant that has exceeded its expiration date may not achieve the necessary level of microbiological kill to ensure patient safety. Therefore, keeping track of when the solution was activated and when it expires allows users to maintain an effective disinfection process.

While having the manufacturer's name can provide some accountability, it does not directly impact the efficacy of the disinfectant in use. Similarly, while a safety data sheet contains important health and safety information, it is typically referenced separately rather than being required to be visibly posted on the disinfectant container. Lastly, the reprocessing protocol, while essential to follow for proper disinfection, wouldn't be practical to display on every container and is usually part of training or procedural documentation rather than labeling. Therefore, including the date of activation and expiration date on the container is vital for proper use and safety in the healthcare setting.
