    Objective: Systematize the evidence on the effectiveness of high-level disinfection in medical devices to prevent infections in patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures. Material and Methods: Systematic review that summarizes the results of various investigations, identifying what is most relevant to answer specific questions. The search has been limited to articles with full text that have been critically read, using the GRADE evaluation to assign their level of evidence. Results: In the final selection, 05 articles were chosen, finding that 40% (04) correspond to Brazil, Peru and Mexico and 10% (01) Asia (India). These are mostly experimental studies (10%), descriptive case series type (20%), systematic reviews (10%), controlled clinical trials (10%). 100% of the articles state that high-level disinfection (HLD) does not ensure the elimination of the most resistant microorganisms such as endospores and some mycobacterium, such as microorganisms of the Coccidia subclass such as M. Masiliense, so this process is not considered effective in preventing infections in minimally invasive procedures. Conclusions: High-level disinfection is not effective in medical devices to prevent infections in patients undergoing minimally invasive procedures.
