OspreyDeepclean equipment has passed clinical trials that confirmits steam cleaning system can successfully combat microorganisms, including MRSA and C. difficile, which are responsible for healthcare acquired infections.
The commissioned research study focused on the decontamination of high-risk, high-contact hospital surfaces, such as bed frames, mattresses, and chairs, from MRSA, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella and the spores of emerging superbug Clostridium difficile.
Michael Rollins, environmental research project manager at UCLH, said: “The development of a new generation of steam disinfection tools, which are purpose-designed, easy to use and which deliver consistent disinfection, is a significant step forward in the battle against healthcare acquired infections. The full details of the tests were published at the Infection Control Nurses Association (ICNA) Conference on 25 September.
