In vitro virucidal efficacy of a dry steam disinfection system against Human Coronavirus, Human Influenza Virus, and Echovirus

Figures & data

Figure 1. The vacuum cleaner equipped with a dry steam generator used in this study.

Figure 2. The pictures show the main phases of an experiment performed on stainless steel panels. (A) Virus suspension dried on squared areas in the middle of control (K, left panel) and test (T, right panel) panels. (B) Treatment with window wiper on the test panel. (C) Virus harvesting with swab from control area K.

Figure 3. Logarithmic viral load reduction by the dry steam system on the different surfaces. Data reported in figure are mean values (± standard deviation) from three different experiments performed. SS = stainless steel, PP = polypropylene, C = cotton fabric.
