This peer-reviewed study evaluated the Spectra 1000 in an unoccupied ICU and surgical ward room using stainless steel carriers inoculated with MRSA, VRE, and C. difficile. The study measured irradiance, dosage, and log₁₀ reductions across different room locations and orientations, under standardized conditions.
