MRSA Meets Its Match
MRSA is No Match for UVDI’s Ultraviolet Mobile Room Sanitizer
Valencia, CA, October 27th, 2009
Recently, health concerns associated with Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureas (MRSA) have caught the attention of government agencies, healthcare providers and the general public. MRSA is a type of bacteria that is resistant to a number of commonly used antibiotics. Historically, most cases of MRSA had been hospital acquired, but community acquired MRSA infections have become much more common in the last few years.
MRSA infections often occur in crowded environments such as hospitals, gyms and schools. The bacteria can be spread by direct skin to skin contact as well as from contact with contaminated surfaces.
UltraViolet Devices, Inc. (UVDI), a leading provider of advanced ultraviolet (UV) disinfection products designed to eliminate threats from MRSA and other pathogens, has been busy building orders for their Mobile Room Sanitizer. The Mobile Room Sanitizer is a portable unit designed to eradicate bacteria, viruses and molds. It can be easily moved between locations where there are concerns about surface and air contamination of MRSA and other harmful pathogens.
The Mobile Room Sanitizer is capable of safely disinfecting a room using UV-C energy in as little as a few minutes. “We recently put UVDI’s Mobile Room Sanitizer to independent third party laboratory tests using Staphylococcus aureas as the test organism,” reported Richard Hayes, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for UVDI. “The results were spectacular with 99.9% of the dangerous organisms destroyed in as little as 5 minutes,” Hayes continued.
