The Catawba Valley Medical Center (CVMC) recently added two-room sanitizers to fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
They are not the standard room sanitizers.
CVMC recently bought two state-of-the-art UVDI-360 Room Sanitizers. They claim that the portable ultraviolet light devices can disinfect a hospital room in less than 10 minutes, the medical center said in an Aug. 18 release.
In addition, the machine makers said that its UVDI-360 Room Sanitizer could inactivate 99.99% of more than 35 pathogens with the help of some general hospital room cleaning.
The CVMC press release said these types of machines are considered the most advanced technology in disinfection.
Ultraviolet light sanitizing technology has been used for years. Each of the divides costs more than $50,000, and the CVMC was able to purchase the machines suing a grant from the foundation.
"In a community health system every dollar matters so we count on our community partners for financial support to help us accomplish our mission of service to this area," CVHS Chief Development Officer Guy Guarino said in a press release. "This technology is a great example of incorporating cutting-edge innovation into the daily routines of patient care."
