Using a RAG-rated system and HPV decontamination to reduce rates of C.Diff
Background
The use of hydrogen peroxide vapour (HPV) decontamination and the impact on rates of clostridium difficile was evaluated.
Method
Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust incorporated Inivos’ HPV disinfection robot into their cleaning routine, introduced a RAG-rated cleaning system and measured.
Result
Post-admission C.diff cases reduced significantly as a result of HPV decontamination and the risk-based approach provided by the RAG-rated cleaning system.
