Abstract
Choice Framework for local Policy and Procedures (CFPP) 01-01 provides best practice guidance on the whole decontamination cycle including the management and decontamination of surgical instruments used in acute care. Part A covers the policy, management approach and choices available in the formulation of a locally developed, risk-controlled operational environment. In addition to the prevention of transmission of conventional pathogens, precautionary policies in respect of human prion diseases which include variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) are clearly stated. Also includes advice on surgical instrument management related to surgical care efficiencies and contingency against perioperative non-availability of instruments.
