Disinfection of Virtual Reality Devices in Health Care Settings: In Vitro Assessment and Survey Study

Disinfection of Virtual Reality Devices in Health Care Settings: In Vitro Assessment and Survey Study

The generalized linear model with binomial distribution and logit link was used to compare whether the proportion of trials with observable bacteria counts after disinfection differed by (1) type of disinfection, (2) type of organism, and (3) surface type. All models included the natural log of bacterial count prior to disinfection and used robust standard errors. Achieving disinfection was defined as a greater than a 6-log reduction in bacterial counts.

Can Disinfection Robots Reduce the Risk of Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Health Care and Educational Settings?

Can Disinfection Robots Reduce the Risk of Transmission of SARS-CoV-2 in Health Care and Educational Settings?

As a result, there is now a greater interest in cleaning and disinfection robots in these settings [2-4]. Such robots are, for example, currently routinely cleaning the Hong Kong metro, and the Smart Field Hospital in Wuhan uses them in an attempt to reduce the spread of SARS-Co V-2 [5,6]. Existing disinfection robots work through a combination of automated or semiautomated processes.
