EverClean is the first ever bio-based hospital disinfectant targeted against ESKAPE pathogens responsible for Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs). This novel product offers a unique value proposition for different healthcare settings through the long-lasting protection of surfaces, staff, and patients. Hence EverClean provides a guaranteed effectiveness against pathogens while maintaining the safety of hospital staff and also the environment.🌍 Bearing in mind the shielding effect of such a powerful disinfectant on different surfaces which gave rise to such a tuneful sentence: EverClean, Forever Clean.🎱🌠

In healthcare settings, proper sample collection is essential, but it can also present challenges. Without the right techniques, sample integrity can be compromised and healthcare workers could be exposed to #infection risks. Our innovative solution RapiPREP® inactivates samples on contact, eliminating the need for additional inactivation steps. This not only saves valuable time in the lab but also speeds up the delivery of urgent results. We also offer sample enrichment solutions using our unique Polymer Exclusion technology. This method concentrates microorganisms by precipitation, allowing for efficient, culture-free microorganism enrichment across a range of applications, from blood and respiratory to microbiome samples. Let's talk about your sample enrichment challenges and how we can help!

During the second plenary session, Dr. Jon Otter, PhD, Director of Infection Prevention and Control at Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, shared an insightful presentation on "Is IPAC the Enemy of Sustainability? Roadmap to Reduction".     Here are some of the key takeaways:      ▪ Most carbon emissions come from medicines, medical devices and other supply chain items  ▪ If we reduced our glove usage by 30%, this would save 318 tons of CO2 which is equal to 17 flights from London to Paris  ▪ Antimicrobial agents are vital to the management of infections, however, in addition to the usual carbon footprint of producing and disposing of medicines, antibiotics have a unique environmental impact     #Earthmonth #sustainability #sustainablehealthcare #IPAC

🏥Can UV-C Light Help Combat Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs)? In the fight against hospital-acquired infections (HAIs), every tool counts. 🔬A study published in @National Library of Medicine (NLM) explored the effectiveness of UV-C light disinfection in reducing bacterial contamination. The findings suggest promise: UV-C light significantly reduced bacterial levels on surfaces commonly found in healthcare settings. ➡️Biozone Scientific is at the forefront of UV-C technology for air and surface purification. Our Photoplasma™ technology continuously disinfects, eliminating bacteria and mould growth at the source. Here's how Biozone can help healthcare facilities: ➡️Reduce HAIs: Promote a safer environment for patients and staff. ➡️Improve air quality: Eliminate airborne pathogens and allergens. ➡️Minimize cleaning time: Biozone technology complements traditional cleaning protocols. ➡️Enhance patient experience: Create a cleaner and more comfortable environment.

Exciting News in UVC Disinfection Research The University of Waterloo is leading a groundbreaking project to standardize UVC device testing for Canadian regulatory purposes. This initiative aims to: ▪Develop protocols for testing UVC devices across various wavelengths. ▪Generate crucial dose-response datasets for bacteria, viruses, and fungi. ▪Streamline the registration process with Health Canada. The University of Waterloo's UVC device testing standardization project is important for Intellego Technologies as it promises simplified testing processes, data-driven product development insights, and new industry collaboration opportunities. We are excited about the potential impact of this research on our UVC indicator technology. This project closely aligns with our commitment to providing reliable, scientifically-backed solutions for infection prevention and control. #UVCDisinfection #HealthTech #Healthcare #UVDosimeters

In healthcare facilities, where the risk of infection can have serious consequences, the value of an air purification system lies in its dual capacity to provide continuous protection without imposing additional maintenance burdens on staff. Such systems play a pivotal role in preventing hospital-acquired infections, a critical quality and safety metric for healthcare providers. The effectiveness of air purification technology in combating a wide array of pathogens not only supports a safer environment for patients but also contributes to the operational efficiency and reputation of healthcare institutions, underlining the importance of integrating reliable air quality solutions. 

🤯 Pathogens Can Spread More Quickly Than You Think! A study tracing the spread of a nonmicrobial marker (plant DNA) in a neonatal ICU reveals how rapidly contaminants can disperse. The experiment began by inoculating a single telephone handle in one of the ICU's six 8-cot pods. Remarkably, within just four hours, this marker was detected on various environmental surfaces and on the hands of the staff throughout the entire unit, including all six pods. This study vividly illustrates the dynamic and rapid nature of transmission in healthcare environments. The findings highlight why meticulous disinfection is not just advisable but essential. 🧼🧽 Contaminated surfaces can act as conduits for the spread of pathogens, posing risks to vulnerable populations. Let’s stay committed to maintaining the highest standards of cleanliness for better patient safety. 🏥💪 You can read more about the experiment here: https://lnkd.in/dEFxAjyf #SafetyFirst #hospitaldisinfection #healthcaresafety #operatingroom #isolationroom #deliveryroom #infectionpreventionandcontrol #healthcare #antimicrobialresistance

It's #Friday at 4pm and the phone rings. A resident was sent from a long term care facility to the local emergency room and subsequently admitted. The resident had a positive screening for Candida auris and was also found in blood cultures. After several days, the resident was ready to be discharged back to the long term care facility, but they are refusing the return admission. This leaves the resident in the hospital occupying a bed. The care team is asking for help and guidance. What do you do, #IP? **Disclaimer:** The scenarios presented in "Critical Choices: The Infection Preventionist's 4pm Friday Predicament Series" are fictional and intended for illustrative purposes only.
