Efficacy of UV-C disinfection in hyperbaric chambers

Abstract: Ultraviolet C (UV-C) light reduces contamination on high-touch clinical surfaces. We assessed the efficacy of 2 UV-C devices at eradicating important clinical pathogens in hyperbaric chambers. Both devices were similarly efficacious against MRSA but differed significantly against C. difficile. Additionally, direct UV-C exposure was more efficacious against both species than indirect exposure.

“…With advances in no-touch disinfection technology, novel UV-C disinfection devices are becoming increasingly common as auxiliary environmental decontamination methods. Furthermore, disinfection products, such as UV disinfection robots and UV disinfection systems [7][8][9][10], provide practical solutions for the daily disinfection of medical and health institutions.…”
