Airborne C.Difficle

The high transmissibility and

widespread environmental contamination

by Clostridium difficile suggests

the possibility of airborne

dissemination of spores

Airborne MRSA

 

"We found a lot of MRSA in non-touch-areas"

 

"During the entire trial no patients got MRSA in the trial room compared to about 50% in the control room"

Letter to The Times.
"To be truly effective,
measures to contain MRSA
must block airborne
transmission"

The Royal College of
Nursing - Infection Control:
"Airborne Pathogens
cannot travel through
the air unless carried
on airborne particles. Transmission
occurs via:

Respiratory droplets
– coughing and sneezing
may transmit large or
small droplets such as in
Mycobacterium tuberculosis
and influenza.

Dust, which contains skin
cells and can carry bacteria
 such as Staphylococcus
aureus, or spores such
as Clostridium difficile
and Aspergillus."

1. Bacterial Counts Significantly Reduced

 

"Average levels (organisms/m3 air) of total bacteria found in the air prior to the UV installation were 45.5 and 25.5


"Average levels (organisms/m3 air) of total bacteria found in the air
after the UV installation were 8.67 and .418"

3. Germicidal UVC Lights Improve Clinical Pregnancy Rates for IVF Lab, New Study Finds

 

Bethlehem, Pa., September 2008 –

 

A seven and a half-year study conducted in the In Vitro Fertilisation Cleanroom Laboratory of the Lehigh Valley Hospital and Health Network found that the use of ultraviolet C or “UVC” lights installed in the HVAC system had a clinically significant impact on clinical pregnancy rates (CPR).

 

The + beta and CPR increased by an average of 17.8% and 18.2%, respectively,  following 10 of the 13 change-outs of the Steril-Aire UVC Emitters™ over the test period.
