Understanding Surface Disinfection in a World of Emerging Viral Pathogens
Canonsburg, PA / Dental offices are re-opening and must practice elevated levels of infection prevention for their patients who trust Dental Healthcare Providers to keep them safe.
Released in March, the Environmental Protection Agency’s List-N is a searchable list of EPA-registered disinfectant products that are qualified for use against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
Understanding product labels and navigating what dental offices should search for on the EPA’s List-N can be difficult. COLTENE SciCan created a video to share with DHP that helps explain how to search the EPA List-N and understand the importance of finding the right products for their practice. The video will also clear up any misinformation surrounding EPA-approved products for use against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
