Abstract

Background: The global outbreak of COVID-19 has affected the operations of healthcare field and various infection control measures are being carried out at each hospital and clinic.

Aim: We have administered infection control measures using air catalysts which is a new antiviral and antibacterial technology being employed at our healthcare center.

Methodology: We used a product called Health Bright® and this liquid substance was sprayed to coat every part of the facility. After that, we measured the amount of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in coated places, including the waiting room, examination room and endoscopy room.

Results: The amount of ATP decreased the day after the treatment in each room, and of note is that the amount of ATP was still low after 6 months and 12 months.

Conclusion: Our current data showed the possible efficacy of air catalysts against bacteria and virus in the healthcare facility.
