The Christ Hospital Health Network is the first healthcare system in the Cincinnati, Ohio, region to use germ-zapping robots to enhance environmental cleanliness, according to an article on the CleanLink website.
The five Xenex robots use Full Spectrum pulsed xenon ultraviolet (UV) light to quickly destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi and bacterial spores.
The portable disinfection system is an emerging technology in healthcare focusing on the most effective and efficient method of sanitizing surfaces throughout hospitals and healthcare facilities.
“We want to do everything within our means to provide the safest and cleanest environment at all of our facilities. This is one more tool to help reduce the risk of hospital acquired infections,” said Deborah Hayes, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of Christ Hospital.
