Abstract     The use of the biocide as a disinfectant for use in magnetic resonance rooms represents a technological challenge concerning the application of neutral electrolyzed oxidizing water (NEOW). Using a prototype OPTI-JET CS MD1 MR in magnetic resonance rooms were performed appropriate use of aerosolisation and precise dosing of NEOW. Thus, we refute the problem to disinfect apparatus 3T energy. Disinfectants of choice are therefore expected to possess properties such as rapid, residue-free action without any damaging effect on the sensitive electronic equipment. This paper discusses the use of the NEOW as a biocide for the disinfection of diagnostic rooms and equipment. Material and methods: We produced and used OPTI-JET CS MD1 MR aerosolisator whereby was performed aerosolization. The presence of microorganisms before and after the aerosolisation was recorded with the help of cyclone air sampling. Colony formed units (CFU) was counted. Results and Discussion: The number of microorganisms in magnetic resonance 3T room was low as expected. Nevertheless, a possible CFU reduction of 87% was recorded. Conclusions: The research has shown that the use of EOW for the air and hard surface disinfection can considerably reduce the presence of microorganisms and consequently the possibility of hospital infections. It has also demonstrated that the use of OPTI-JET CS MD1MR is very good.
