Steriliz Announces R-D Rapid Disinfector

Online, October 5, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Steriliz, LLC, announced today the launch of the R-D Rapid DisinfectorTM, a system designed to kill healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), also known as nosocomial infections.

This fast, thorough, eco-friendly system delivers lethal UltraViolet C (UVC) light doses into all areas of complex environments, destroying viruses, spores and drug-resistant bacteria-even in a room's shadowed areas. Compared to competitor products, this solution provides a lower cost alternative, faster processing-time, and critical data capture and reporting to help healthcare facilities better manage infection control practices.

Activated remotely, R-D provides real-time job status on any web-connected device. Its unique, next-generation remote sensors make R-D the only system that can definitively measure how much UVC energy reaches every corner of a treatment space. The IN-TRAKTM system software automatically captures and turns treatment data into standard and customized reports that clearly demonstrate treated areas have received the necessary dosage of UVC light needed to eradicate dangerous pathogens effectively.

"Each year in the U.S, more people die from healthcare-associated infections than from AIDS, breast cancer, and auto accidents combined. But these deaths are preventable, UVC light has been proven to destroy microbes at the genetic level by breaking DNA strands, to disarm and destroy microorganism," said Sam Trapani, President and CEO. "We're very excited to introduce this new solution to the market to aid in reducing the spread of infections and disease-causing pathogens. Although the use of UVC technology to eradicate pathogens has been around for some time, the R-D Rapid Disinfecting System offers significant advantages to the healthcare community through next generation UVC dosage sensors and innovative data processing techniques."

The R-D Rapid Disinfector is available now through Steriliz. The company has ten systems currently in use in hospitals and a nursing home in the Rochester, New York region.
