As per CDC definition1 Spaulding Classification is “a strategy for sterilization or disinfection of inanimate objects and surfaces based on the degree of risk involved in their use.” There are three groupings of medical devices:
lower risk non-critical medical devices which make contact with outer body surface, e.g. intact skin and require low to intermediate level disinfection for safe use;
semi-critical devices, which make contact with broken skin and inner body surface, e.g. mucous membranes lining body cavities, these devices must be at least high level disinfected and preferably sterilized after each use;
critical devices which make contact with blood, organs and sterile body tissues, these devices must be sterile for each use.
