What classification is NOT considered under infection control standards in electrology?

The classification that is not considered under infection control standards in electrology is biological items. In the context of infection control, the focus is primarily on items that come into direct contact with skin or mucous membranes during procedures, which are classified as critical, semi-critical, or non-critical based on their risk of infection transmission.

Critical items are those that enter sterile tissue or the vascular system and carry a high risk of infection if they are contaminated. Semi-critical items come into contact with non-intact skin or mucous membranes and must be high-level disinfected. Non-critical items are those that only touch intact skin and carry a lower risk of infection.

Biological items, however, typically refer to living organisms or biological materials and do not fit into the specific categories utilized for infection control in electrology. These categories are designed to address the handling, disinfection, and sterilization of instruments that may pose an infection risk rather than focusing on biological entities. Thus, biological items do not fall under the classification framework relevant to infection control standards in electrology.
