The paper presents the results of evaluating the microbiological efficiency of using a portable pulsed ultraviolet light unit to disinfect air and open surfaces in an outpatient treatment room. It shows the high bactericidal effectiveness of disinfecting air and radiation-exposed surfaces in the treatment room during their processing with a pulsed ultraviolet light unit.
Keywords: outpatient visit, air and surface disinfection, pulsed ultraviolet light unit
