This multicenter study measured cleanliness of frequently touched surfaces in CF clinics using an ATP bioluminescence assay to assess the effectiveness of cleaning\/disinfection and the impact of feedback.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0899823X24001028_as2\"><jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Eight surfaces were tested across 19 clinics (10 pediatric, 9 adult) over 5 rounds of testing. Rounds 1 and 2 served as uncleaned baseline, and Round 3 occurring after routine cleaning. Rounds 4 and 5 were performed after feedback provided to staff and measured after cleaning. Pass rates defined as &lt;250 relative light units were the primary outcome.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0899823X24001028_as3\"><jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Of the 750 tests performed, 72% of surfaces passed at baseline, and 79%, 83%, and 85% of surfaces passed in Rounds 3, 4, and 5, respectively. The overall pass-rate was significantly higher in adult compared to pediatric clinics (86% vs 71%; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.001). In pediatric clinics, blood pressure equipment and computer keyboards in the pulmonary function lab consistently passed, but the exam room patient\/visitor chairs consistently failed in all rounds. In adult clinics blood pressure equipment, keyboards in exam rooms and exam tables passed in all rounds and no surface consistently failed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec id=\"S0899823X24001028_as4\"><jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title><jats:p>We demonstrate the feasibility of an ATP bioluminescence assay to measure cleanliness of patient care equipment and surfaces in CF clinics. Pass rates improved after cleaning and feedback for certain surfaces. We found that surfaces are more challenging to keep clean in clinics taking care of younger patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1017\/ice.2024.102","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,23]],"date-time":"2024-10-23T04:10:06Z","timestamp":1729656606000},"page":"1213-1218","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Assessing effectiveness of cleaning and disinfection of equipment and environmental surfaces in cystic fibrosis clinics using an ATP assay"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"45","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6391-1598","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Marianne S.","family":"Muhlebach","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thomas","family":"Shields","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kushal K.","family":"Shah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Maria","family":"Ansar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabel","family":"Virella-Lowell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Juyan J.","family":"Zhou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"John J.","family":"LiPuma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7231-8451","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lisa","family":"Saiman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,10,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhin.2008.03.013"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.idh.2023.06.001"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2019.11.031"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1182","DOI":"10.1086\/424667","article-title":"Contamination, disinfection, and cross-colonization: are hospital surfaces reservoirs for nosocomial infection?","volume":"39","author":"Hota","year":"2004","journal-title":"Clin Infect Dis"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhin.2006.02.021"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref22","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/cid\/ciac070"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1183\/09031936.00060512"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref24","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2012.04.318"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref25","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0099951"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jcf.2009.01.003"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1086\/676882"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ajic.2010.07.005"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1989.tb11099.x"},{"key":"S0899823X24001028_ref7","unstructured":"7. 3M, Clean, and Trace.
