The challenges caused by nosocomial infections - and the problems they create in hospitals - are becoming more complex. Sometimes there is clear evidence of an outbreak centered on one one unit, at other times there is an ongoing, endemic issue.
Bioquell's Committed Technology service offers fast, flexible and cost effective ad hoc bio-decontamination. the service has been designed specifically for hospitals who recognise the benefits of using Bioquell HPV technology but do not require the ongoing, preventative proactive service and want to reduce the cost of emergency call outs.
Bioquell offers a range of room bio-decontamination services - Emergency Outbreak, Scheduled, Committed Technology and Proactive - each tailored to hospitals specific needs. The Committed Technology service is a flexible, rapid response option for hospitals wanting a cost effective solution to less frequent HCAI outbreak issues.
The service itself involves the pre-deployment of Bioquell equipment to a hospital where it is then stored until there is a bio-decontamination requirement. Technicians can then be called out on an ad hoc basis to operate the equipment and rapidly carry out the required decontamination.
Can't we achieve the same result by cleaning?
Cleaning is an essential part of infection control, which can be greater improved and enhanced by the Bioquell system. Taking C. difficile as an example, in one study, 25% of surfaces were found to be contaminated after bleach cleaning1.
Bioquell HPV technology eliminates surface environmental contamination resulting in reduced HCAI risk for subsequent room occupants.
