2. Ultraviolet Lighting During Orthopaedic Surgery and the Rate of Infection.
3. Germicidal UVC Lights Improve Clinical Pregnancy Rates for IVF Lab, New Study Finds
Bethlehem, Pa., September 2008 –
A
seven and a
half-year study
conducted in the In
Vitro Fertilisation
Cleanroom Laboratory
of the Lehigh Valley
Hospital and Health
Network found that
the use of
ultraviolet C or
“UVC” lights
installed in the
HVAC system had a
clinically
significant impact
on clinical
pregnancy rates
(CPR).
The + beta and CPR increased by an average of 17.8% and 18.2%, respectively, following 10 of the 13 change-outs of the Steril-Aire UVC Emitters™ over the test period.
