• W3034039573 abstract "•Novel UV-C device found to significantly decrease total and pathogenic bacteria on mobile phones.•UV-C phone disinfecting device is renewable, efficient and effective..•UV-C device implementation in a hospital system would be desired by healthcare providers.•Healthcare providers felt their mobile phones were an important risk factor in infection transmission and that they would use this device daily to weekly.•UV-C technology is shown to kill coronaviruses and implementation of this device could be impactful during pandemic. BackgroundMobile phones are known to carry pathogenic bacteria and viruses on their surfaces, posing a risk to healthcare providers (HCPs) and hospital infection prevention efforts. We utilize an Ultraviolet-C (UV-C) device to provide an effective method for mobile phone disinfection and survey HCPs about infection risk.MethodsEnvironmental swabs were used to culture HCPs’ personal mobile phone surfaces. Four cultures were obtained per phone: before and after the UV-C device's 30-second disinfecting cycle, at the beginning and end of a 12-hour shift. Surveys were administered to participants pre- and poststudy.ResultsTotal bacterial colony forming units were reduced by 90.5% (P = .006) after one UV-C disinfection cycle, and by 99.9% (P = .004) after 2 cycles. Total pathogenic bacterial colony forming units were decreased by 98.2% (P = .038) after one and >99.99% (P = .037) after 2 disinfection cycles. All survey respondents were willing to use the UV-C device daily to weekly, finding it convenient and beneficial.DiscussionThis novel UV-C disinfecting device is effective in reducing pathogenic bacteria on mobile phones. HCPs would frequently use a phone disinfecting device to reduce infection risk.ConclusionsIn light of the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, a standardized approach to phone disinfection may be valuable in preventing healthcare-associated infections.
