Healthcare

Today, 1 out of 10 patients contract infections while in the hospital. According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 2 million hospital acquired infections occur annually, resulting in 90,000 deaths and multi-million dollar verdicts.

MRSA infections account for more than 60 percent of hospital staph infections in recent years. Studies show that MRSA is most commonly spread via the hands of healthcare workers. Urine and body fluids are commonly found on surfaces throughout healthcare settings. Whether from catheters, incontinent patients or infants, urine can be found on privacy curtains, remote controls, bedding, door handles, furniture and other surfaces routinely touched by healthcare workers, patients and visitors. The proteins found in urine and other body discharges, are the growth medium for dangerous disease causing microorganisms. Unless urine, body fluids and their proteins are destroyed, microorganisms can flourish and spread throughout healthcare facilities.

Using Urine Off’s specially engineered Urine Finder UV Inspection Lights, environmental services workers can find urine and body fluid deposits then remove them with Urine Off. This simple procedure saves time and money and aids in infection control. Urine, soils and microorganisms are removed, resulting in “clean you can see” hygienic conditions. Urine Finder lights make infection control a simple, verifiable process for healthcare facilities, reducing patient fears and simplifying the training of environmental services team members.
