IntroductionIn accordance with AS5369:2023 and ISO 15883-1:2024 Standards, in-field validation testing of automated high-level disinfection (HLD) devices in clinical settings is necessary to qualify their performance. Responding to reports that some ultraviolet-C (UV-C) devices were failing to achieve sporicidal efficacy during routine in-field validation, we evaluated the sporicidal efficacy of these devices via a performance qualification test. MethodsSporicidal efficacy was assessed using co...
