Er is steeds meer bewijs dat tot 20% van de infecties, zoals virussen, griep en MRSA, wordt overgedragen via de lucht.UVC ontsmettingslampen, zuiverings- en lampsystemen zorgenvoor een veilige, betrouwbare en duurzame oplossing.

Geaccepteerde protocollen om oppervlakteverontreiniging aan te pakken zijn gebaseerd op periodieke reiniging en hoewel ziekenhuizen zeer zorgvuldig zijn in hun desinfectie-procedures, beïnvloedt de tijd tussen en de kwaliteit van de reiniging het risico.

VIDASHIELD UV24 vult e�ectief het gat dat wordt gecreëerd wanneer terminale reini-ging geen optie is. Bescherm patiënten en personeel tegen het onzichtbare gevaar van verontreinigde lucht veroorzaakt door periodieke reiniging.

E�ectiveness of a shielded ultraviolet C air disinfection system in an inpatient pharmacy of a tertiary care children’s hospital

A mean colony forming units per meters cubed count from the entire pharmacy revealed an overall significant decrease in both fungal and bacterial viable air particles by 78% and 62%, respectively.-There was a statistically significant decrease in mean air fungal colony forming

Surface and air: What impact does UV-C at the room level have on airborne and surface bacteria?

In our study, Hospital B had a very large percentage increase (+288%) in surface bacteria post-insta-llation although the actual numbers weren’t extreme (25, 97). We attribute this to the fact that the study room had been terminally cleaned before pre-installation samples were taken. The pre-installa-tion samples were taken in a cleaned, unoccupied and closed room. The post-installation samples were taken in the room after a patient on isolation had occupied the room and had not been termi-nally cleaned at the time post-installation samples were taken. This result demonstrates the impor-tance and e�cacy of surface cleaning as part of the entire infection control process.

All facilities had significant reductions in airborne bacteria with 24/7 operation of the shielded UV-C ceiling unit.

*This p value due to small sample sizeMost facilities had significant reductions in surface bacteria after implementing UV-C at the room level.

Report on the Performance of the VidaShield™ SystemBy Dr. Wladyslaw J. Kowalski

The analysis presented herein indicates that the VidaShield will produce high removal rates of all nosocomial pathogens including bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Analysis also shows that the risk of infection in areas where the unit is installed will be considerably reduced, based on predicted reduction in airborne concentrations of microbes.
