Title: Ultraviolet C Induced Skin Reaction from Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation of N95 Respirators During the COVIDâ€19 Pandemic Cord-id: amgx25v5 Document date: 2020_9_24
ID: amgx25v5
Snippet: With the depletion of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVIDâ€19 pandemic, methods for decontamination of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFR) are being implemented at institutions throughout the United States. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) involves administration of ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation to cause DNA damage to inactivate pathogens on surfaces including FFRs. With the widespread use of this technology may come unintended side effects. We present the case
Document: With the depletion of personal protective equipment (PPE) during the COVIDâ€19 pandemic, methods for decontamination of N95 filtering facepiece respirators (FFR) are being implemented at institutions throughout the United States. Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) involves administration of ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation to cause DNA damage to inactivate pathogens on surfaces including FFRs. With the widespread use of this technology may come unintended side effects. We present the case of a patient who developed a skin reaction following UVC exposure from a UVGI device.
