  • Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections Through the Use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection
    InfectionControl.tips Join. Contribute. Make A Difference. http://infectioncontrol.tips Reduction of Healthcare Associated Infections through the use of Pulsed Xenon Ultraviolet Disinfection By: Dr. Mark Stibich Reviewed by: Andrew Duong Date : May 13, 2016 Healthcare associated infections (HAIs) are a global problem, causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, life-long disability to some survivors, and requiring billions of dollars of additional care. While the rate of device- and procedure-associated infections have shown improvement within United States acute care facilities, greater consideration should be given to other well- established sources of infection; such as the contaminated hospital environment [1]. The link between the environment and HAIs is best explained by what is known as the ‘prior room occupancy risk’ [2]. Patients admitted to rooms that were previously occupied by patients infected with common multidrug resistant organisms (MDROs) such as Clostridium difficile [3] (C. diff), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) [4] and Vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) [5] have been found to be at a 2.5, 1.5 and 2.25 times increased risk for developing the same infection, respectively [6]. Since there is no direct contact between the two patients, this risk of infection is almost exclusively associated with the environment. If not properly disinfected, these MDROs can linger on high touch surfaces for weeks to months, serving as a continued transmission risk for many future patients [7]. A growing number of healthcare organizations have turned to an innovative pulsed xenon ultraviolet (UV) light technology to complement standard cleaning protocols, with a goal to decrease HAIs. Pulsed xenon UV (PX-UV) disinfection (introduced to the healthcare market in 2010 by Xenex Disinfection Services) is the only UV disinfection technology shown to help hospitals effectively reduce their HAI rates and the body of evidence continues to mount [5-12].
