The Mobile Emergency Care Service, aims to provide relief to people in urgent situations, transporting the victim to a location closer to care. By locomotion or removal of patients in ambulances, it can assist in the spread of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) and even their contamination. Nowadays, the control of infectious diseases has become increasingly difficult due to the evolution of microorganisms. Therefore, due to the mobility of sick people in ambulances, disinfection (concurrent and terminal cleaning of ambulances) is necessary to reduce and even eliminate pathogens.
