ATP measurement as an objective method to measure environmental contamination in 9 hospitals in the Dutch/Belgian border area
Abstract: Background The objective of this study was to determine the level of environmental contamination in hospitals in the Dutch/Belgian border area, using ATP measurements. Design A cross-sectional observational survey. Methods Standardized ATP measurements were conducted in 9 hospitals on 32 hospital wards. Thirty pre-defined surfaces per hospital ward were measured with the 3 M Clean Trace NG luminometer. Results are displayed in relative light units (RLU). RLU > 1000 was considered as "not clean." Differences in RLU values were compared between countries, hospitals, fomite groups an... Mehr ...
