“Pressure to release beds for new patients is a continual concern and needs to be balanced with providing a safe and clean environment. The Ultra-V could be an integral part of securing patient safety whilst optimizing bed flow.”

Method
Manual cleaning was performed on chosen surfaces, followed by sample collection and decontamination using UV-C.
Result
After UV-C decontamination, the number of total viability counts was reduced by 97% from levels recorded after initial manual cleaning.
