UV-C decontamination is an effective adjunct to manual cleaning in reducing risk of infection
Background
A study was conducted by Royal Wolverhampton to explore the integration of UV-C as an adjunctive cleaning practice.
Method
Inivos’ Ultra-V UV-C disinfection robot was used following manual cleaning in 18 vacated rooms across a period of 8 weeks. Sampling was undertaken at 24 sites in each room and results expressed as colony forming units (CFU).
Result
The mean CFU post-use of Ultra-V was much reduced compared to post-manual cleaning and significantly so when compared to pre-manual cleaning.
