  • Title: [Efficacy of an ultraviolet device for the disinfection of radiology cassettes].
    Author: Garcin F, Bergeaud Y, Joly B.
    Journal: Pathol Biol (Paris); 1998 May; 46(5):325-9. PubMed ID: 9769893.
    Abstract:
    The antimicrobial efficiency of a disinfection box of radiology cassettes, by means of a device which emits ultraviolet rays, was studied according to a method defined by the laboratory. Germ-carriers contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans were irradiated and compared to non irradiated reference ones. The bactericidal and fungicidal efficiency was better than 99.9% in 5 minutes of irradiation. This procedure represents an interesting alternative to the chemical treatment of radiology cassettes.
