A deep cleaning programme incorporating UV-C decontamination reduces C.diff significantly

“Overall, proactive deep-clean programme using Ultra-V UV-C is effective in providing and maintaining a safe environment for the patients and healthcare staff.”

NHS Foundation Trust, UK

Background

North West Anglia Trust focused on implementing new IPC strategies to reduce rates of Clostridium difficile, one of the main Hospital-acquired Infections (HAI) in the UK.

Method

A deep clean programme using Ultra-V disinfection robot technology by Inivos was implemented from April 2015 and C.diff cases were compared before and after.

Result

Using Ultra-V as part of the deep clean programme, rates of C.diff in 2016 fell to their lowest levels since reports dating back to 2009.
