Evaluation of a far ultraviolet-C device for decontamination of portable equipment in clinical areas.

Contaminated portable equipment may contribute to transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens. We demonstrated that a wall-mounted far ultraviolet-C (UV-C) light technology that delivers far UV-C only when people are not present was effective in reducing contamination on in-use patient transport chairs and physical therapy equipment in equipment rooms. The technology could potentially be used as an adjunctive measure for decontamination of portable equipment in clinical areas.
