Protocol for Room Sterilization by Fogger Application

This protocol describes an end-use fogging application for sterilizing porous and non-porous surfaces within a sealed and enclosed space. The sterilant will be applied using an acceptable fogging generation system that releases test material (product) into the designated area. This field study will investigate the ability of a sterilant product to kill bacterial spores known to be highly resistant to sterilants and disinfectants via fogging application.
