Validating Chemical Testing Strips for Effectiveness

Chemical testing strips help verify that cleaning and disinfection solutions are effective but only when the correct strips are used, within expiration, and properly validated. Learn common testing-strip errors and practical steps organizations can take to confirm accuracy, maintain documentation, and support safe, compliant practices.

Waived Testing Logs and Documentation of Quality Control Checks

Waived point-of-care testing may be considered low risk, but proper quality control and documentation are still essential. Missing acceptable ranges, overlooked QC results, or incomplete follow-up can put test accuracy, and patient safety, at risk. Strong oversight helps ensure staff follow procedures, address out-of-range results, and maintain compliance.
