Dry saturated steam passes superbug test
August 1st 2007 Proventec subsidiary, OspreyDeepClean, has passed clinical trials that confirm its cleaning system successfully combats superbugs such as MRSA and Clostridium difficile. The tests, by the Hospital Infection Protection Environmental Research Unit at University College London Hospitals, confirm that all surface types contaminated by each of the test organisms were successfully decontaminated by the OspreyDeepClean process without chemicals. Research focused on the decontamination of highrisk, high-contact hospital surfaces, from MRSA, Acinetobacter, Klebsiella and the spores of Clostridium difficile. Tests were conducted using only dry saturated steam generated by the OspreyDeepClean unit directed through specialist cleaning tools. Environmental research project manager at UCLH, Michael Rollins, says the development of new, purpose-designed steam disinfection tools that deliver consistent disinfection is a significant step forward in the battle against healthcare acquired infections.
