Results from the Benefits of Enhanced Terminal Room Disinfection study show that improved terminal room disinfection strategies decreased the cumulative incidence of multidrug-resistant organisms by 10% to 30%. The largest decreases were seen when Tru-D was added to the standard cleaning strategy.
Tru-D SmartUVC is the device of choice for nearly all existing independent research on UV disinfection technology, More than 300 Tru-Ds have been deployed to disinfect hospitals worldwide.
