Validation of performance qualification of ultrasound probe high-level disinfection devices in clinical settings
The H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> mist device was the only device in this study that passed all tests, demonstrating sporicidal efficacy. Both UV-C devices failed to demonstrate sporicidal efficacy in this PQ study suggesting that clinicians need to monitor UV-C devices more frequently to ensure continued efficacy and patient safety.
