No. In any case, commercial machines use heat for purposes of sterilization. This may not even be a problem for hospitals. We would need to look at that. Dishwasher detergents that do not contain phosphorus are almost as effective as the other detergents. We would have to look at the cycle used in those machines, but I am pretty certain that they use heat for sterilization. Because sterilization occurs by using heat, commercial and institutional machines may not represent any risk whatsoever of disease transmission.
