Literature Review and Practice Recommendations: Existing and emerging technologies used for decontamination of the healthcare environment - HINS Light

This literature review aims to review the evidence for using high-intensity narrow-spectrum (HINS) light for decontamination of the healthcare environment and reusable non-invasive patient care equipment.

Objectives

• To provide a generic description of HINS light, including the proposed or actual mechanism of action and the procedure for use.
• To assess the scientific evidence for effectiveness of HINS light.
• To explore practical and safety considerations related to the use of HINS light.
• To explore the costs associated with HINS light.
