FYI: The "germ-zapping robot" quickly destroys microorganisms by
pulsing xenon (not mercury bulbs) to create intense UV light and
leverage the full germicidal UV spectrum. It can be used through-
out healthcare facilities and has been shown to be effective against
C. difficile, MRSA and VRE, among others. A cloud-based reporting
portal tracks both usage and operators. The company points to
multiple peer-reviewed studies showing that it has helped hospi-
tals reduce SSIs in amounts ranging from 46% to 100%.
