A low level of disinfection refers to the process of eliminating most bacteria, some viruses, and some fungi, but not bacterial spores, from surfaces and instruments. It is typically used for non-critical items that come into contact with intact skin, such as stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs. This level of disinfection is generally achieved using EPA-registered hospital disinfectants that do not require a high-level disinfectant.
