BACKGROUND: Contaminated portable medical equipment is a potential contributor to transmission of health care-associated pathogens.
METHODS: The published English literature was searched for articles on pathogen transmission by shared portable medical equipment, and on equipment cleaning and disinfection.
RESULTS: Simulation studies and epidemiologic investigations including whole-genome sequencing provide support for contaminated equipment as a source of transmission. In a cluster-randomized trial, daily cleaning and disinfection of shared equipment reduced health care-associated infections. Educational interventions focused on clinical staff, dedicated cleaning teams, and use of "no-touch" technologies can improve equipment cleaning and disinfection.
CONCLUSIONS: Portable equipment and other shared devices contribute to dissemination of health care-associated pathogens. Health care facilities should develop strategies to ensure effective cleaning and disinfection of shared portable devices.
