The pioneer in UV disinfection, Tru-D SmartUVC continues to provide the gold standard of care, keeping patients safe by eliminating up to 99.9% of pathogens that can linger in hospital rooms. Also used in patient rooms, isolation discharges and other areas throughout medical facilities, Tru-D is seeing positive results with the use of the robot in operation rooms throughout the country.
“In my hospital, patient outcomes are of utmost importance,” said Ralph Taylor, Director of Surgical Services at Florida Hospital in Tampa, Florida. “As Director of Surgical Services, the cleanliness of the operating environments lies on my shoulders. I care enough about my patients to visit each of them post-operation and educate them on our process so that they know I use Tru-D to ensure a germ-free operating space.”
A recent report by John Boyce, MD compiles current literature on modern technology for improving cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces in hospitals. Boyce points out that Tru-D’s CDC multi-center, randomized controlled trial is complete and will demonstrate Tru-D’s HAI reduction outcome compared to standard and enhanced surface disinfection methods. According to Boyce, the results of this study should determine the extent to which this technology can reduce hospital-acquired infections and lead to these systems being more widely adopted.
