Assessment of dry-fogged hydrogen peroxide as an “untact” room disinfection automation system for rapid terminal decontamination of a single isolation room in a healthcare institution
Our findings demonstrate that URDAS using dHP is an effective tool for disinfecting contaminated environmental surfaces and spaces in single isolation rooms with minimal risk of exposure to medical staff. However, further optimization is required to address the material- and pathogen-specific disinfection challenges.
