Influence of delivery system on the efficacy of low concentrations of hydrogen peroxide in the disinfection of common healthcare-associated infection pathogens 

Sanostatic Clean Room

University research conducted in partnership with Sanondaf evaluated the performance of different hydrogen peroxide delivery methods against common healthcare-associated pathogens.

The study compared fogging and electrostatic spray systems using low-concentration hydrogen peroxide to assess their ability to disinfect contaminated surfaces. 

Both delivery methods demonstrated strong effectiveness against pathogens such as MRSA, VRE, and drug-resistant Klebsiella, achieving complete or near-complete elimination when appropriate contact times were used. 

For more resistant organisms such as Clostridioides difficile spores, fogging produced the strongest results. The highest level of control was achieved when fogging and electrostatic spraying were used together. 

Overall, the research indicates that low-concentration hydrogen peroxide can provide reliable whole-room disinfection when delivered using appropriate methods.
