Background
Patients with cystic fibrosis are more prone to infections, which can lead to longer hospital stays due to infections acquired during their stay.
Method
The effectiveness of Ultra-V UV-C was tested against manual cleaning with a chlorine-containing solution in 11 rooms in a cystic fibrosis ward following the discharge of infected patients.
Result
The Ultra-V UV-C decontamination system had a significantly stronger effect on microorganisms compared to manual cleaning, and completely eliminated microorganisms in the majority of cases.
