BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A new study conducted at Cambridge Health Alliance (CHA), a Harvard Medical School Teaching Affiliate, demonstrated that pulsed xenon ultraviolet light disinfection can significantly decrease Operating Room (OR) contamination of surfaces and air. The study, presented during the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) annual meeting, showed that Xenex Healthcare Services’ pulsed xenon ultraviolet light room disinfection system reduced surface contamination in the OR by 81 percent, and air contamination by 46 percent. The study also showed that between-case contamination in the OR continued to rise from case to case with standard cleaning, but was reduced to almost zero when the Xenex device was used between cases.
