The electrostatic spray cart clearly is a step toward what I was describing. What I questions is, could a similar unit but larger spray into the air conditioning or ventilation serving multiple rooms and simultaneously sanitize them. Also, in a hospital setting would they use the spray cart with the room occupied, or only when it's vacated.
Frankly, as quickly as the unit appears to work it shouldn't be a problem where patients are pushed to exercise by walking around the halls, etc, but it could be a problem where patients are not ambulatory and would have to be moved out, or were being isolated, and shouldn't be moved out.
Because of the chemo I am on, at the initiation of a hospital stay they invariably put me in isolation suspecting C-diff, they've never found it, but it happens every time. I know it's a serious problem, and the electrostatic spray cart may be the answer to it's spread.
I would think the electrostatic spray would also be a way of handling a ship that had a problem, even if it weren't routinely being used to prevent it. In most cases such a ship is tied up for at least a few days, so deploying a number of the units every compartment could be handled with this unit.
