Spectra254 will exhibit its UV-C light disinfection products at the 42nd annual Association of Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) conference in Nashville, Tenn., June 27-29, 2015, at Nashville’s Music City Center. Spectra254 will exhibit its complete line of disinfection solutions at APIC 2015 that includes: the Spectra 1000 Series mobile room sanitizing system, for operating rooms, hospital patient rooms and emergency rooms; the Spectra 500 medical transport sanitizing system, for emergency vehicles; the RDS-30 Series, for diagnostic tools and electronics; and the Spectra 600, designed specifically for the post-acute care services market. Spectra254 is exhibiting in Booth 636.
Spectra254’s portable, ultraviolet light-generating systems are ideal for acute and post-acute care facilities, including hospitals, ambulatory surgery centers, clinics, laboratories, assisted living centers and other settings where elimination of healthcare associated infections (HAIs) is of critical importance.
“We will be showcasing a comprehensive disinfection solution that can protect a patient from the moment he/she requires care: when he/she is taken to the hospital by ambulance, through his/her hospital stay and through outpatient treatment in an ambulatory setting,” says Sanford Green, senior executive at Spectra254. “All of our UV-C light disinfection systems are 99.98 percent effective in killing pathogens. That level of efficacy cannot be achieved with chemicals alone.”
