how long do you need to keep sterilization records
A: The HCPro OSHA Safety Program manual says to keep sterilization records and logs for three years, because that is the recommendation of the Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, 2008 (See page 92) .ll that is a round about way of saying, âIt depends.â. APIC keeps the ambiguity going in âInfection Control in Ambulatory Care,â by saying: âTo determine how long written logs should be kept, consult legal counsel or, if the site is associated with a larger institution or hospital, the infection control department.
