Due to the fact that a relatively large area can be disinfected in a short time, dry-fog disinfection could have a great potential to improve hygienic measures. However, there are few studies to date on the effectiveness and combinability of this technology with other devices. In this work, the disinfecting potential of the TBT dry fogging technology (TBT Desinfektion GmbH & Co. KG, Germany) and the corresponding disinfectant Defeat AR (Biofluid GmbH, Germany) was examined with regard to microbiological decontamination and potential damaging effects on different devices. The airburden measurement did show a reduction of approx. 66% of the microbiological room contamination. Similarly, decontamination of test surfaces was shown to be effective at all measuring points we selected in the experimental setup. Depending on the accessibility of the surfaces this effect was in the range of several log levels. Nevertheless, a first test run showed that some technical equipment was negatively affected by the process. |
