Using UV light for disinfection has a significant effect on reducing the number of HAI-causing pathogens that can be found in a hospital setting.
In a sample of over 360 surfaces across 60 patient rooms, 34.4% of rooms tested positive for MRSA, 29.5% tested positive for VRE, and 31.8% were positive for C. diff.
After an initial manual cleaning performed by housekeeping staff, there was little to no change in these numbers. However, after receiving a dose of UV light disinfection, these numbers dropped precipitously – to 3.3% for MRSA, 4.9% for VRE, and 0% for C. diff.
While the data proves that UV light is effective at eliminating harmful bacteria, its full potential can be achieved when combined with the autonomous capabilities that OhmniClean provides.
