the cleaning and disinfrecting guidelines in Section 6.0.
7.1 Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy Agents
It is outside the scope of this document to describe in detail the precautions that should be
taken for Transmissible Spongiform Encephalopathy (TSE) Agents.
The agents for transmission of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease are believed to be resistant to
normal disinfection and sterilization processes. Therefore, the normal processing methods of
decontamination and sterilization as described above may not be appropriate where CJD
transmission is a risk.
In general, the tissues that come into contact with orthopedic surgical instruments are those
of low TSE infectivity. However, take particular precautions when handling instruments that
have been used on known, suspected, or at-risk patients.
