AB Following the CJD protocol and decontamination processes (Table 1) as recommended in the Health Canada CJD Guideline will serve to prevent transmission of CJD via surgical instruments, "Preparation of the work area" and "safe handling of strong chemicals used for decontamination" are other topics that must be addressed by staff in the OR and SPD.
