Virucidal efficacy of a UV-C disinfection system for semi-critical medical devices according to EN 14476
The D60 system achieved broad-spectrum virucidal efficacy within one minute, meeting EN 14476 requirements. These findings support its use for safe, rapid reprocessing of semi-critical devices in high-turnover clinical settings, with potential to improve infection control and workflow efficiency.
