Nerandzic MM et al. – The SterilrayTM Disinfection Wand is a novel environmental disinfection technology that rapidly kills C. difficile spores and other healthcare–associated pathogens on surfaces. However, the presence of organic matter reduces the efficacy of far–UV radiation, possibly explaining the more modest results observed on surfaces in hospital rooms that were not precleaned.
