require repositioning during the cycle. And while it takes them less time to treat
a room's surfaces than hydrogen peroxide units, they still aren't practical for use
during routine OR turnovers.
While aerosolized or vaporized hydrogen peroxide and UV light systems are
the most prevalent whole-room disinfection options on the market, there are 2
alternative technologies you can consider: units that continuously emit pure
cluster ions that seek out pathogens and destroy them, and ozone-based sys-
tems that emit tiny ozone particles that attack and kill microbes without leaving
chemical residues behind.
