"disinfection device" is a correct and usable term in written English.
It refers to a tool or apparatus used for the purpose of disinfecting or killing harmful bacteria and germs. You can use this phrase whenever you are describing or discussing a device that has the specific function of disinfecting. For example: "Using a high-powered ultraviolet light, the hospital's new disinfection device is able to eliminate 99.9% of bacteria on surfaces within minutes." "I always make sure to carry a portable disinfection device with me while traveling to ensure that my hotel room is clean and free from germs." "The healthcare industry has seen a significant increase in the use of disinfection devices, particularly in light of recent global health concerns."
We previously demonstrated that a mobile, automated room disinfection device that utilizes ultraviolet-C (UV-C) radiation is effective in killing C. difficile spores and other pathogens (i.e. the Tru-D™ Rapid Room Disinfection device, Lumalier, Memphis, TN) (author's unpublished data).
The Tru-D™ Rapid Room Disinfection device is a mobile, fully-automated room decontamination technology that utilizes ultraviolet-C irradiation to kill pathogens.
The Tru-D™ Rapid Room Disinfection device (Lumalier, Memphis, TN) is a mobile, fully-automated room decontamination technology that utilizes UV-C irradiation to kill pathogens [ 15].
The Tru-D Rapid Room Disinfection device is a novel, automated, and efficient environmental disinfection technology that significantly reduces C. difficile, VRE and MRSA contamination on commonly touched hospital surfaces.
The automated Tru-D Rapid Room Disinfection device significantly reduced MRSA, VRE, and C. difficile contamination on environmental surfaces on laboratory bench tops and in rooms of hospitalized patients.
This study evaluated the reduction of MRSA and HPC taken from five high-touch surfaces in rooms vacated by MRSA-positive patients, as a function of cleaning by standard manual methods vs a PPX-UV area disinfection device.
Moreover, the antibacterial action of hydrogels is a determining factor for applications in water disinfection devices.
In order to prevent the transmission of airborne infection many researchers have advocated the use of improved building ventilation [ 8, 12, 20] or air disinfection devices [ 21- 23].
Because there were separate cycles for bathroom and living room, the surface reduction in aerobic colony counts may be better than with other UV systems; a head-to-head comparison of UV area disinfection devices may be warranted [ 12, 13].
The Sterilray device kills C. difficile spores on surfaces in seconds, whereas UV-C room disinfection devices may require 45 minutes and hydrogen peroxide vapor or mist systems may require hours for setup and disinfection of a hospital room [ 11, 22, 23].
The Sterilray™ Disinfection Wand device is a hand-held room decontamination technology that utilizes far-ultraviolet radiation (185-230 nm) to kill pathogens.
