UVC disinfection/filtration in the OR

I am looking for articles and/or professional publications attesting to the benefit (or lack there-of) of adding UVC light wavelength to HEPA filtration systems. We are constructing new OR's and if I can get adequate documentation, I may be able to convince the administration to add UVC disinfecting lights to the filtration system. I believe that the added costs should be minimal (especially when comparing to the cost of builing brand new OR's in a brand new building!).

There are many successful case studies posted on the Steril-Aire website. Watch the video posted on the healthcare tab - one hospital has documented zero HAIs.

Thanks, Lima, appreciate it. Didn't know about that site
