  • Abstract
    Hospital-acquired infections also known as nosocomial infections are health problem and their importance has increased swiftly in recent years. As a result of investigations remarked that NTD robots which are automatic disinfection systems become more of an issue in the fight against pathogenic microorganisms and reduce the risk of new infections occur. Researchers continue to work on behalf of a safe and efficient exploration of these system s which are hydrogen peroxide-based that are affecting the broad spectrum event; even bacterial endospores and not carrying carcinogenic properties by contrast with alternative disinfectants. This study performed to evaluate the success of hydrogen peroxide vaporization technique, which is intended NTD system to provide disinfection, on pseudomonas aeruginosa lethalness and distribution force of the gas phase in 1:4 scale of actual size ICU miniature experimental setup. As a result of experiments demonstrated that hydrogen peroxide vaporization is effective only in visible areas, remains incapable to reach the closed areas such as the drawer or bottom of the objects that are found in the environment.
