Part of implementing a successful UVC disinfection program is to achieve high utilization rates. A study was published on the Tru-D technology and its deployment at Virginia Commonwealth University Health System (VCU). The study, “Deployment of a touchless ultraviolet light robot for terminal room disinfection: The importance of audit and feedback,” appeared in

Abbeville General in Louisiana recently invested in the Tru-D disinfection robot to help ensure the cleanest environment possible for its patients and staff. “The Tru-D robot will provide an added layer of defense against microorganisms and ensure that our facility is as clean as possible,” said Michelle Glatter, RN, BSN,

Studies have shown that microorganisms can live anywhere. While disinfecting hospital rooms and ORs is paramount, attention should also be given to other areas of the hospital, including sterile processing. “Sterile processing is the first link in the disinfection chain. Improperly or inadequately cleaned, disinfected and sterilized instruments can introduce

The first UVC disinfection was introduced to the market in 2007. Since that time, prestigious hospitals and health care systems across the U.S. have invested in the technology, including Duke University, the University of Wisconsin, Vanderbilt University, many VA hospitals, and more. While adoption of enhanced, “no-touch” disinfection technology has

The Tru-D device is a portable UVC disinfection system that delivers one automated, measured dose of UVC light to consistently disinfect a room during one cycle. The Tru-D robot operates from one placement within the room, ensuring significant microorganism reduction in direct and shadowed areas and reducing the threat of
