Prevent infections within healthcare spaces with safe and effective device decontamination and processing Prevention is the first line of defense against infection, particularly in a world where microbial resistance to anti-infectives like antibiotics is a growing threat. Few aspects of managing a healthcare facility are more immediately important to patient care than the safe use of equipment and devices. Although some devices are designed for single use, many more are designed to be reused and there have been increasing reports of infections and other adverse patient reactions due to these devices, in particular when regarding surgical and endoscopic procedures. The decontamination or processing of various surfaces, spaces, and devices associated with patient care is a life-saving discipline demanding dedicated resources and education. Decontamination and Device Processing in Healthcare, Second Edition meets this demand as a comprehensive training and reference manual for the decontamination and processing of equipment and devices used in patient care environments. This book is ideal for medical staff involved in the management of devices within healthcare facilities, including those purchasing, using, and processing devices on patients, and those responsible for their safety. Now fully updated to reflect the latest international regulations, standards, and best practices, this text is an invaluable tool for meeting the challenges of the modern medical facility.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
