Viroklenz Infection Protection is offering a system to prevent airborne infection spread in the hospital environment.
The system has been designed to run continuously with an in-built warning sensor which lights up when the refill needs changing, approximately every six weeks. There is no potential harm to patients or staff working in the area as the biocides have passed rigorous safety criteria and no biocides are released into the atmosphere.
Astudy conducted by the University of Bath found that the MRSA “superbug” has evolved in order to side step some protection measures. Scientists found the bug on inanimate objects such as vases, sinks and walls. As amoebae produce cysts to help them spread, this could mean that MRSA may be able to be “blown in the wind” between different locations.
