Many heat-intolerant and non-immersible medical devices must be hand washed, however, there are no options for disinfecting them after washing. They are passed through to the Preparation room washed, but not disinfected. Staff must use hand hygiene and disinfecting their work stations to compensate. The UV disinfector safely and quickly disinfects hand-washed items at the transfer window between the Decontamination Area and the Prep Room.

The unit s UV light radiation significantly reduces bacterial CFU counts, thereby improving the safety of handling these instruments. The unit uses no harmful chemicals, consumables, or antimicrobial wipes, and offers a standardized, repeatable decontamination process that helps eliminate human error and make instruments safer to handle.
