in Preventing Infection.
Fast, safe, one-button and environmentally friendly automated UV-C High-Level Disinfection for ultrasound probes.
Our mission is to improve standards of care by reducing cross-contamination risk and Healthcare-Associated Infections
Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a worldwide serious threat to healthcare safety. The infectious risk is associated to the quality of hygiene practices surrounding the ultrasound procedure (hand hygiene, maintenance of the medical environment, ultrasound gel, and protective sheaths for probes), to the management, and the disinfection of the probes themselves.
