development of aseptic techniques. Pasteur’s work in 1861 on spoilage of foodstuffs by microorganisms, and the subsequent development of pasteurization, laid the foundations for the modern principles of aseptic technique and manufacture. Whether it is employed in hospitals to prevent patient infection, food processing to prolong shelf-life or pharmaceutical manufacturing to ensure product integ...

A head-to-head comparison of hydrogen peroxide vapor and aerosol room decontamination systems.

OBJECTIVE New technologies have emerged in recent years for the disinfection of hospital rooms and equipment that may not be disinfected adequately using conventional methods. There are several hydrogen peroxide-based area decontamination technologies on the market, but no head-to-head studies have been performed. DESIGN We conducted a head-to-head in vitro comparison of a hydrogen peroxide v...

HVAC Considerations for Gaseous Decontamination of Laboratory Spaces using Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor

Comparison of the microbiological efficacy of hydrogen peroxide vapor and ultraviolet light processes for room decontamination.

OBJECTIVE To compare the microbiological efficacy of hydrogen peroxide vapor (HPV) and ultraviolet radiation (UVC) for room decontamination. DESIGN Prospective observational study. SETTING 500-bed teaching hospital. METHODS HPV and UVC processes were performed in 15 patient rooms. Five high-touch sites were sampled before and after the processes and aerobic colony counts (ACCs) were deter...
