UVC Lamps Help Hospitals with Effective Sterilization
Hospitals provide critical care to people with serious illness whether emergency treatment, diagnostic services, or ongoing care for chronic illness. Due to the nature of the typical patient, hospitals must be vigilant in sterilizing surfaces and protecting patients from infection. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that on any given day an estimated one out of every 31 patients in the U.S. contract a Healthcare Acquired Infection (HAI) from their stay in a hospital.
Patients who enter a room following a patient that had an infection such as the influenza virus and even drug resistant superbugs like MRSA run a high risk of contracting an HAI.
UV Lamps in HVAC and Air Purification Systems
Many illnesses can be transmitted through airborne particles such as tuberculosis and many influenza viruses. UVC lamps in air purification systems play an important role in sterilizing the air making it healthier for patients and staff. UV lamps can be installed in upper room UVGI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation) systems or directly into HVAC systems for automatic purification. Some systems can be designed to come on when a patient leaves the restroom, for example, while others are always working behind the scenes in furnaces and AC units.
UVC Germicidal Lamps for Surface Sterilization
UVC lamps provide highly effective sterilization in air, water, and surface sterilization systems. There are many ways to reap the benefits of surface sterilization with systems like UVC robots and UVC lamps that directly disinfect critical areas like surgical rooms. UVC lamps are also used to disinfect and keep surgical equipment clean. UVC robots are being deployed in hospitals as well as other public places to work autonomously with high rates of efficacy.
