German term or phrase: entsprechend dem Praxisbetrieb
Die Desinfektion sollte in der Häufigkeit dem Praxisbetrieb entsprechend durchgeführt werden.

What does this mean? I am not sure if I understand the sentence correctly. Are you supposed to desinfect the device as often as you would do in a commercial environment (this is how someone else translated it) or are you supposed to desinfect it as often as necessary, depending on the frequency of the use? Thanks

Explanation:
If it's a device, it would most likely have to be disinfected after every use, perhaps with a thorough disinfection after several uses.
In any case, it all depends on how often it is used, and not on a fixed disinfection schedule.
