They concluded that ''provided there is adequate mixing of room air, an upper-room UVGI fixture is an effective, low-cost intervention for use in TB infection control in high-risk clinical settings.'' 35 5 Methods for determining whether existing room air mixing is sufficient for UVGI effectiveness are needed, and research should explore whether the use of mixing fans has a negative impact on the intended design of the mechanical ventilation systems or a negative impact on other infection control measures.	./cache/cord-292981-7qbi7wqr.txt	./txt/cord-292981-7qbi7wqr.txt
