iTRU-D, a new technology available from RAPID DISINFECTION SERVICES (RDS) is operated remotely via an iPad Mini to control a UV-C light device called Tru-D which floods concentrated ultra-violet light into hospital rooms and operating theatres to kill 99.99% of all pathogens, including C. difficile, MRSA and VRE.
The ‘no-touch’ Tru-D robot is turned on from outside a room using the controller, minimising the need for human contact and the possibility of transferring dangerous germs. It is estimated that over 50% of surfaces are currently missed by traditional wiping, brushing and cleaning. The Tru-D device deep-cleans high touch surfaces and the air in a room to automate cleaning and removing the chance of human touch or error. Tru-D uses concentrated ultra-violet light technology which has been trialed in over 25 NHS Trusts and has also been adopted by a number of prominent University Hospitals. Once the robot has been placed near the centre of the room, it is able to instantly analyse the contents, shape and size of the room and then fills the targeted space with a suitable dose of UV light from a single placement.
