DCX® Plus
In Sport-
Studios
We have tested the effectiveness of the DCX Plus disinfection system for use in training rooms of fitness studios and martial arts schools. The aim is to determine whether it is possible, with the aid of an aerogenic disinfection system based on hydrogen peroxide, to significantly reduce germs present in a training room on all surfaces relevant to training and thereby reduce the typical odor contamination. In addition, it needs to be determined which reductions can be achieved on which typical surface materials. In particular, it will be determined which cycle times are necessary for this and whether the use of such a system can be offered as a service.
Methods
Efficacy testing is carried out using two different detection methods.
On the one hand, bio-indicators with 10⁴, 10⁵ and 10⁶ loadings of Geobacillus stearothermophilus are spread at six relevant positions in the training room and samples are taken in parallel near these positions using imprint plates before and after the disinfection process. In addition to the biological efficacy test, chemo-indicators are laid out at all positions, which allow a statement to be made as to whether the active ingredient mist was present in sufficient quantities at all test positions.
For the test run, a cycle time of 180 minutes is set and surface tests with imprint plates are performed at 6 positions at intervals of 60 minutes each. Bio and chemo indicators are placed at the same positions. These remain in the room for the entire cycle time and are removed and evaluated at the end.

Process
1. initial situation
- Hall old building approx. 500 m³
- Walls with standard wall colors
- Standard equipment with floor mats, fighting ring and training utensils
- Training equipment and shelves partly made of wood or plastic
2. task
- Verification of DCX-Plus performance in large room volumes
- Verification of germ reduction under practical conditions and typical ambient conditions
- Checking the odor reduction
- Leaving all materials and sports equipment in the room
- Minor preparatory measures (door lock, sealing connections to other rooms).
- Verification of material influence by disinfection process
3. measures
- Device: DCX Plus
- Active ingredient: Sanosil 015
- Cyle time: 3 hours
- Starting conditions: 21.7 °C and 54.3 % relative humidity
- Before and after comparison of germ load on surfaces (using RODAC impression plates) at 6 test positions
Result
- Disinfection process 180 minutes
- Application rate 2,417 ml Active ingredient
- A high microbial load was found at all test positions
- After the disinfection run, significant germ reduction was observed at 5 of the 6 test positions.
- Based on the selection of test positions, it can be stated that a significant reduction of existing germs was achieved on most surfaces exposed to the training.
- On one wooden element, the germ reduction was not sufficient. Wood is not suitable for disinfection with hydrogen peroxide.
- After the disinfection measure, a significant odor reduction was also observed..
- Parallel testing of disinfection performance with bio-indicators showed a reduction of test germs by 4 orders of magnitude
