Healthcare environmental services professionals should follow key steps when choosing UV technology for their healthcare facilities, according to an article on the Health Facilities Maintenance website.

Then invite at least two UV technology companies to the facility to discuss and review the effectiveness of their equipment.
And be sure that after the equipment has been selected, you have a training program in place.
