Creating efficiencies with the Tru-D® iQ system
In any facility, time is of the essence, and it’s important for environmental services (EVS) teams to work smarter, not harder, when it comes to cleaning and disinfection. EVS teams have a significant amount of square footage to cover and need a reliable disinfection solution that won’t impede their manual cleaning process or slow them down.
Operating from one placement in the room and administering one UVC cycle, Tru-D SmartUVC devices allow EVS staffs to complete other cleaning functions without being tethered to the device. Further, Tru-D SmartUVC devices will never sacrifice thorough disinfection outcomes for shorter cycle times. However, with several new features and improved technology, the Tru-D iQ system has achieved significantly lower cycle times than the Tru-D Classic device.
The benefits of shorter cycle times
Shorter cycle times help lead to operator efficiencies as more rooms can be turned over quicker, allowing more rooms to be disinfected in a shorter amount of time. While needs and goals may vary by facility – from wanting to increase the number of spaces that are disinfected to increasing the total hours of disinfection performed – shorter run times allow staff more time to complete other tasks.
In fact, several facilities are seeing the benefits of shortened cycle times using the Tru-D iQ system compared to the Tru-D Classic device.
In one scenario, a facility was able to complete 2,489 UVC disinfection cycles with the iQ system with just four minutes active time for staff per cycle as compared to 921 UVC disinfection cycles with the Tru-D Classic device with just four minutes active time for staff per cycle. Therefore, the same amount of staff time per cycle was required; however, there were exponentially more hours of cycle time, more rooms disinfected, and more efficiencies created for staff.
