Bioquell Compared to UV
Both UV light (UV-C and PX-UV) and Bioquell’s Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor have their benefits, but what really separates them? Discover some key differentiating factors below.
Key Differences Between Bioquell and UV
One system. One cycle.
With UV, you may need to repeatedly reposition the system several times, reducing pathogens in only the areas the light can reach. Bioquell’s technology provides a 6-log sporicidal kill on exposed surfaces including an adjacent bathroom with one cycle with Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilant (EPA Registration Number: 72372-1-86703). Open the cabinets and drawers, and bring in more equipment to take full advantage.
When and Where are What Matters
Bioquell is not meant for every room, but the right room at the right time. Our Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor’s efficacy help protects your patients from the environment as a source of infection. This technology can be impactful in critical care units by helping kill microorganisms on exposed surfaces with repeatable results. UV allows for quick access but efficacy results may vary. Please use it in non-critical areas as often as possible as a cleaning aid.
UVs reduction vs Bioquell’s Elimination
For every inch light travels from a UV system its power weakens. Remaining microogranisms can reproduce rapidly. Alternatively, Bioquell creates a 6-log sporicidal kills on exposed surfaces with the same expected efficacy. All Bioquel systems use Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilant (EPA Registration Number: 72372-1-86703).
UNDERSTANDING BIOQUELL
Offering accurate and straightforward results means providing your patients with the safest environment and improving outcomes at your facility. When evaluating technologies, be sure to compare them against Bioquell. How do they compare?
Results Oriented
Whether you want a real-time indication of expected results or a validated cycle, Bioquell offers chemical indicators (CIs) and biological indicators (BIs) to showcase results. CIs help monitor cycles in real-time while BIs validate cycle efficacy. Place these indicators anywhere to test a thorough distribution has been achieved.
A 6-log Kill
Each cycle is repeatable to be able to achieve a 6-log sporicidal kill through the use of Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilant (EPA Registration Number: 72372-1-86703). A sterilant kills microbial life in the inanimate environment, including all forms of vegetative bacteria, bacterial spores, fungi,
and viruses per the code of Federal Regulations Title 40 Chapter I Subchapter E Part 158 Subpart W § 158.2203
Post-Cycle Impact
Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Sterilant when used with Bioquell Hydrogen Peroxide Vapor technology delivers a result that requires no additional cleaning steps after a cycle. This means the room is ready for occupancy immediately after a cycle.
Safety is Primary
Safety is our primary objective, for your patients and for the operators of the decontamination equipment. Each system for a hospital comes with a handheld sensor to easily assess leaks, vent sealers, emergency aeration and extensive training. Ask about safety features such as these for any decontamination system you are reviewing. Bioquell have been harnessing the unique decontamination properties of hydrogen peroxide for over 15 years and can quell any safety concerns you may have.
