Are sani cloths considered an example of high-level disinfection?

High-level disinfection typically refers to methods that eliminate all microorganisms, except large numbers of bacterial spores. Sani cloths are generally classified as intermediate-level disinfectants. They are effective against a variety of pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, but they do not provide the same level of spore inactivation that high-level disinfection requires.

Thus, while sani cloths play an important role in infection control by disinfecting surfaces and non-critical items, they do not achieve the high-level disinfection status needed for certain critical items that require a more thorough sterilization approach. Therefore, categorizing sani cloths as high-level disinfection is inaccurate, making the answer that states they are not considered high-level disinfection the appropriate choice.
