The recent AORN Global Surgical Conference & Expo brought together professionals from across the industry to explore emerging trends, technologies and strategies. One clear takeaway? Environmental quality and confidence in room readiness are top priorities—and automation is playing an increasingly important role.

At Tru-D® SmartUVC, we were proud to be part of the conversation around innovation in environmental disinfection. With growing focus on optimizing room turnover, enhancing staff workflows and increasing transparency in cleaning practices, UVC disinfection is proving to be a valuable tool for teams who want to raise the bar on consistency and peace of mind.

Why UVC Disinfection?

Tru-D®’s SmartUVC iQ System device delivers a measured, automated dose of UVC light to help support cleaner environments. Deployed after manual cleaning, Tru-D devices help ensure comprehensive disinfection coverage of hard, nonporous surfaces within a space—especially in areas that may be difficult to clean manually or are frequently touched.1

What makes it different:

  • Touchless & automated: Tru-D operates without manual intervention once a cycle begins.
  • Dose-measured: The system calculates and delivers a consistent, data-backed dose of UVC light for every cycle.
  • Cloud-connected: Facilities can track usage and generate detailed reports to document room turnover activity.

“Our goal is to bring confidence and consistency to environmental disinfection,” said Laurie Holden, general manager of Tru-D® SmartUVC. “We heard loud and clear at AORN that teams are looking for tools that are efficient, easy to deploy and enhance accountability.”

Supporting Staff and Streamlining Workflows

In busy facilities, quick and reliable room turnover is essential. Tru-D® devices provide a standardized, reproducible disinfection process that helps reduce variability and enhances staff efficiency.

Facilities also benefit from Tru-D’s comprehensive training and support model, which includes:

  • On-site onboarding and implementation guidance
  • Integration support with existing cleaning protocols
  • Ongoing education to ensure confident, consistent use

A Smarter Path Forward

Environmental disinfection isn’t just about cleaning—it’s about creating confidence. As more facilities look to improve their processes with automation, data and scalable tools, UVC disinfection with Tru-D devices is becoming a natural extension of their environmental cleaning strategy.

If you weren’t able to connect with us at AORN this year, we’d love to show you what’s next in environmental disinfection. Get in touch with us on how Tru-D® devices can support your goals for cleaner, more efficient environments.
