Portable medical equipment (PME) can be an important reservoir of pathogens causing health care-associated infections. To address this, a novel, portable ultraviolet disinfection pod (UVDP) that allows for full 360-degree disinfection was developed.

We found that the UVDP significantly reduced the number of recoverable bacteria on PME., (Copyright © 2019 Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc.
