Ultra-V has a fast decontamination time and is effective at reducing microorganisms
Background
The time taken to decontaminate side rooms at Wye Valley NHS Trust proved challenging with the pressures it had on bed use.
Method
The efficacy of the Ultra-V UV-C disinfection robot has the potential to decontaminate rooms in 15-30 minutes and was evaluated in 20 rooms, with samples taken.
Result
The average total viable count (TVC) per contact plate before cleaning was 27.4; after cleaning 19.3; and after the Ultra-V system 2.3.
