High-level disinfection traditionally is defined as complete elimination of all microorganisms in or on an instrument, except for small numbers of bacterial spores. In the past, high-level disinfection was recommended for mouthpieces and spirometry tubing (e.g., glutaraldehyde) but cleaning the interior surfaces of the spirometers was considered unnecessary. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September 2015, cleared sterilants and high level disinfectants with general claims for processing reusable medical and dental devices, peracetic acid for indication for device sterilization, glutaraldehyde and isopropanol for indication for device sterilization, hydrogen peroxide for no indication for device sterilization, ortho-phthaladehyde for no indication for device sterilization.
Global High Level Disinfection Services Market - Impact of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown in various countries across the globe has impacted the financial status of businesses across all sectors. The private healthcare sector is one such sector, which has been majorly impacted by the pandemic. COVID-19 has also affected the economies in three main ways- by directly affecting the production and demand, by creating disruptions in distribution channels, and through its financial impact on companies and financial markets. To curb the spread of COVID-19, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), published guidelines for using disinfectants April 2021,
The global high level disinfection services market is estimated to be valued at US$ 25,679.4 Mn in 2021 and is expected to exhibit a CAGR of 9.8% over the forecast period (2021-2028).

Increasing number of prevalence of hospital associated infection is a major factor driving the market growth over the forecast period.
Market players are focusing on launching advanced software to facilitate outpatient vigilance, which is expected to drive the growth of global high level disinfection services market during the forecast period. For instance, in January 2017, according to a report published in Indian Journal of Medical Research, prevalence of hospital acquired infections (HAI) in India was 3.76%. Surgical intensive care unit (ICU) (25%), medical ICU (20%), burns ward (20%), and paediatric ward (12.17%) were identified to have significant association with HAI. Prolonged hospital stay [odds ratio (OR=2.81), mechanical ventilation (OR=18.57), use of urinary catheter (OR=7.89), and exposure to central air-conditioning (OR=8.59) had higher odds of acquiring HAI (P<0.05).
