AUTOMATED ROOM SURFACE DISINFECTION
Pathogens Have Nowhere to Hide With UV Light
Studies show that only 50% of surfaces in OR suites are disinfected effectively with normal procedures. UV light technology is making a big comeback as more and more facilities add whole-room disinfection systems as another tool to prevent healthcare-associated infections. Wholeroom disinfection systems use natural germicidal UVC energy to expose and help reduce pathogens on visible surfaces and in primary shadows.
Product entrants include the Xenex Room Disinfection System, TRU-D rapid room disinfection by Philips Healthcare, Altapure's HJ-30i, the Pathogon UV Disinfection System from Steris and Glosair from Advanced Sterilization Products.
