Medical Professors Publish First Proposed Standards for UV Whole-Room Disinfection
See t.ly/shTL — Patient well-being must be the driving force for determining standards for disinfection systems based on ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation. Reductions of inoculated bacteria on carriers is the optimal method of validating a UV-C–emitting system. Arthur Kreitenberg at University of California Irvine School of Medicine and Richard A. Martinello at Yale School of Medicine and Yale New Haven Health make specific, evidence-based recommendations regarding room description, organism selection, carrier material, quantity, orientations, and locations. Criteria for a satisfactory performance are discussed. Adoption of these requirements will ensure that devices intended for room disinfection provide the greatest chances for…
