Infection control is key to managing a safe healthcare facility and reducing pathogens that can potentially lead to infections and disease. Varidyn offers a wide range of cutting-edge technologies and products that can not only make healthcare environments safer but are user-friendly and can increase ROI during the New Year.
Here’s a closer look at Varidyn products and the benefits they can offer to every type of healthcare facility.
UV Disinfection Robot
The UVD Robot by Varidyn is a fully autonomous self-driving Robot that can effectively disinfect entire rooms. This robot is fast, efficient, reliable and user-friendly and is shown to produce high ROI due to the way it is nine times more cost-effective than manual UV devices. Varidyn’s UVD Robot can disinfect a room within 10 to 15 minutes with minimal labor and can be easily controlled remotely using a tablet.
NoJerm Privacy Screen
Traditional medical curtains must be taken down and washed regularly to cut down on harmful pathogens, but NoJerm Privacy Screens by Varidyn are far easier to disinfect. They can be cleaned on the spot and feature no joints, curtain tracks or textured surfaces where bacteria can hide and multiply.
These privacy screens are available in wall-mounted or portable patient privacy. Compared with traditional privacy curtains, NoJerm Privacy Screens are fully waterproof and easy to operate.
Hand Hygiene Monitoring System
The Hand Hygiene Monitoring System (HHMS) by Varidyn meets LeapFrog’s requirements for hand hygiene observations. These standards apply to hospitals and ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and include:
- Gathering hand hygiene compliance data on at least 200 hand hygiene opportunities a month in every ASC or patient care unit.
- Providing feedback on hand hygiene compliance to all workers in healthcare settings who touch patients or items used by patients.
- Using the HHMS online portal (or electronic compliance monitoring system) that meets LeapFrog’s criteria for gathering hand hygiene compliance data.
- Using hand hygiene compliance data to develop action plans (such as determining which HHMS units need to be removed or placed in high-traffic areas).
Healthcare facilities that use traditional hand sanitizer dispensers must constantly monitor fill and battery levels, which can often lead to instances where sanitizer dispensers are not refilled as often as needed—especially in high-traffic areas. The Hand Hygiene Monitoring System (HHMS) by Varidyn links hand sanitizer dispensers with an online portal that alerts healthcare facilities when the dispensers are low on sanitizer/soap and batteries or when they require maintenance—paving the way for improved hand hygiene practices and high ROI.
Varidyn’s HHMS is shown to reduce hospital readmissions. Clinical trials also showed that patients who spent time in healthcare facilities that used the HHMS had 26% fewer days with antibiotic treatment in a hospital setting.
