Clostridium Difficile (C-diff) is a pathogen that loves to hang around on the hospital surfaces. C-diff starts with cramping and loose stools. This can lead to fever, blood tinged stools, increased frequency causing dehydration and weight loss.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) funded a study to test the effectiveness of TRU-D Smart UVC to combat C-diff. The TRU-D Smart UVC is a portable disinfection system developed by Philips Health Care (Royal Philips Electronics).
TRU-D Smart UVC works by emitting UV-C light throughout the room. The UV-C light modifies DNA structure of an infectious cell so it cannot reproduce and therefore cannot colonize and spread. Technology allows the controls to adjust to best meet the varied size and shape of the room. This is proven to disinfect surfaces of the C-diff pathogen.
Innovation to reduce the risk of the patient population becoming infected with the Clostridium Difficile (C-diff) pathogen. This is good news on the health care front.
