Healthcare challenge

The challenge in ICU & critical care

Critically ill patients have invasive devices, weakened defences and long stays. Resistant organisms, including Candida auris, can survive on surfaces and equipment and pass from one bed space to the next.

Risks and operational considerations

  • Environmental reservoirs of resistant bacteria and fungi
  • Shared equipment at the nurses' station
  • Bed spaces that are rarely empty
  • Immunosuppressed patients at risk from airborne fungi

Recommended Capnova solution

A layered approach, not a single device

Terminal UVC after every discharge, continuous far-UVC in occupied bays, fast decontamination for shared devices, and HEPA-MD® air treatment for the most vulnerable patients.

Relevant products and technologies

Each technology covers a different route: air, surfaces or shared equipment. The final mix is confirmed after a site assessment.

Implementation approach

How we deliver it

  1. 1

    Assess

    Walk-through with the infection-control and ICU teams

  2. 2

    Plan

    Discharge workflow mapped so UVC fits between cleaning and admission

  3. 3

    Implement

    Device-disinfection points located at the nurses' station

  4. 4

    Train

    Training and cycle-record review with the IPC team

Plan protection for this department

We review the space, the workflow and your current controls, then recommend a combination and a plan.

Emergency department

Emergency departments see undiagnosed patients, including those with respiratory infections, in crowded waiting rooms and bays that must turn over quickly..

Isolation rooms

Hospitals often have fewer airborne-infection isolation rooms than they need, and building new ones is slow.
