• Element III has been updated to include injection safety language consistent with current CDC recommendations. • Element V has been updated to include language addressing appropriate reprocessing of medical devices and equipment in all settings, including reprocessing in outpatient and ambulatory surgery settings. • Language related to the prevention of transmission of hepatitis C virus (HCV) has been added. • References to Airborne Precautions have been removed from Element III since they are not applicable to bloodborne pathogen transmission. • Formatting edits have been made to clarify content.
