Deep clean needed for some hospital equipment
Link: HighWire Press -- Medline Abstract.
There is an increasing body of evidence that cleaning or disinfection of the environment can reduce transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens. Because routine cleaning of equipment items and other high-touch surfaces does not always remove pathogens from contaminated surfaces, improved methods of disinfecting the hospital environment are needed. Preliminary studies suggest that hydrogen peroxide vapour technology deserves further evaluation as a method for decontamination of the environment in healthcare settings.
Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour or Vapourised Hydrogen Peroxide as it is also known has been used for years to combat environmental contamination.
It has become the decontamination agent of choice for class 3 labs and Pharmacutical plant's. It is also used in a number of hospitals around the world in particular the UK and USA and is starting to become popular in Ireland.
