Healthcare administrators make critical decisions all the time to implement disinfection strategies and ensure a microorganism-safe environment for patients and healthcare providers. A couple key strategies, UV disinfection and chemical disinfection, can contribute to the inactivation of microorganisms in a healthcare facility.  UV disinfection employs ultraviolet light to swiftly eliminate germs and bacteria, offering a prompt […]

The hospital environment is a significant concern for patient health and safety as both a source and reservoir of infections and risks. Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) affect public health and place significant economic and social burdens on patients and their families due to extended hospital stays, potential disabilities, and even mortality. Hospitals follow sterilization and disinfection […]

In an era where technology continually shapes how we live and work, UV (Ultraviolet) light technology is emerging as a powerful tool with a promising future. This blog will explore UV light technology’s incredible potential, implications, fascinating history and its continuous evolution. A Brief History of UV Light Technology Ancient civilizations were aware of the […]

Tell us if this sounds familiar: Your facility decides to double-down on its cleaning and disinfection efforts, and you consider adopting supplemental, automated technology to make your existing processes more consistent and reliable. But every time you explore an automated solution, your team runs into the same roadblock: You don’t want to add another step […]

In the spring of 2022, Candida auris was detected in the Emergency Department of a New York City hospital. The likely cause? Poorly cleaned equipment. Hospital leadership quickly mobilized to address the emerging challenge. Rather than resort to a short-term fix, they opted to find a supplemental disinfection technology that would strengthen the facility’s oversight, […]

Studies show that only 50% of surfaces in hospital rooms are sufficiently cleaned between patient visits. Thus, hospitals may be a source for transmitting microbes like bacteria and amoeba.  UV disinfection systems have shown remarkable antimicrobial properties. As technology advances and new developments emerge, the future of supplemental UV disinfection systems in hospitals is becoming […]

If you had to list the most urgent risks associated with environmental cleanliness in your facility, some standard answers may come to mind: poor hand hygiene, challenging surfaces in a patient’s room, and dirty door knobs. However, facilities face a far more insidious risk that rolls by dozens of patients each day: computer workstations.  Workstations […]

Did you know that the first-ever implementation of UV lights for disease treatment was introduced by Nobel prize winner Niels Ryberg Finsen in 1895? Since then, UV lights have been used as disinfectants and sterilizers in various industries. For instance, hospitals today rely on UV light disinfection systems to ensure the facility is free of […]
