San Jose, CA (March 6, 2014) – O’Connor Hospital is the first hospital in the Bay Area to deploy TRU-D SmartUVC^TM, a germ-eliminating robot that uses powerful ultraviolet light to kill harmful pathogens, including viruses, bacteria and fungi, that threaten health care environments and patient outcomes.

Short for Total Room Ultraviolet Disinfection, TRU-D “finishes the job” after a hospital staff member completes traditional disinfection routines, reducing the risk of health care-associated infections. The remotely operated robot works by generating UV light energy that modifies the DNA structure of an infectious cell so that it cannot reproduce — and a cell that cannot reproduce cannot colonize and harm patients.

“The acquisition of this technology is simply another way that we’re working to protect the integrity of our health care environment, and ultimately, safeguard the well-being of every single patient who walks through our doors,” said Suzanne Cistulli, R.N., CIC, Director of Infection Prevention and Control at O’Connor Hospital.

The technology allows O’Connor Hospital to confidently clean its patient environments, including ICUs, patient rooms, surgery suites, emergency rooms and public areas. In addition to influenza and norovirus, the robot’s microscopic foes include Clostridium difficile (C. diff), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA) and other pathogens.

Studies have shown that traditional disinfection methods are only 50 percent effective, leaving pathogens behind to lurk. TRU-D eliminates the possibility of human error and makes O’Connor Hospital safer for patients and employees, Cistulli said.

“TRU-D can achieve 99.99 percent disinfection of all viruses and bacteria. It takes the guesswork out of previous protocols and ensures confidence in clinicians and patients alike,” she added. “This technology will prove to be an important added line of defense to protect the integrity of our environment and ensure enhanced patient outcomes.”

TRU-D SmartUVC^TMis the only portable UV disinfection device on the market with Sensor360™ technology, which analyzes the unique variables of the room and floods the space (both line-of-site and shadowed spaces) with the proper dose of UV light energy.  The system can disinfect an entire room from one location, eliminating human error associated with less advanced UV devices that require the machine to be moved several times.

Chandler Regional is the latest hospital to deploy TRU-D SmartUVC, a 5-foot-5 germ-killing UV disinfection robot made by Lumalier – the recognized leader in advanced UV disinfection products used across many industries, including health care.

Short for Total Room Ultraviolet Disinfection, TRU-D is being deployed in hospitals across the U.S. and Canada to combat “superbug” pathogens and enhance patient outcomes. Chandler Regional is the first hospital in the state of Arizona to deploy the innovative UV technology.

TRU-D works by generating UV light energy that modifies the DNA structure of an infectious cell, and it is the only portable UV disinfection system on the market with Sensor360™ technology, which calculates the time needed to react to room variables – such as size, geometry, surface reflectivity and the amount and location of equipment in the room – and effectively deliver a lethal dose during a single cycle from a single, central location in the room.

“TRU-D offers an abundance of health benefits,” said Kay Tracy, director of quality management at Chandler Regional. “Chandler Regional is committed to providing the highest quality medical care, and we are pleased to offer this innovative solution as one of the many ways in which we bolster the well-being and safety of our staff and patients.”

TRU-D allows hospitals to confidently clean and disinfect their patient environments, killing pathogens such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff.), Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE).

“TRU-D SmartUVC can achieve 99.99 percent disinfection of all virus and bacteria,” said Chuck Dunn, president of TRU-D LLC. “It is breakthrough technology that will revolutionize the cleaning and disinfection of health care environments, taking the guesswork out of previous protocols and ensuring confidence in clinicians and patients alike.”

After a hospital staff member cleans the room using traditional methods, TRU-D is rolled into the room to “finish the job.” Set-up for TRU-D is quick and easy and does not require input of room measurements or covering of windows and vents. The system can disinfect an entire room – including shadowed spaces – from one location, eliminating the need to move it to multiple places in the room. Its patented Sensor360™ technology analyzes the unique variables of the room and floods the space (both line-of-site and shadowed spaces) with the proper dose of UV light energy. TRU-D spends whatever time is necessary to confidently eliminate infectious germs from contaminated surfaces before shutting down and audibly notifying the operator that disinfection is complete.

TRU-D SmartUVC is the device of choice for nearly all of the existing independent research on UV disinfection technology. More than 100 TRU-Ds have been deployed to disinfect hospitals across the U.S., Canada and Europe, including the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C., Anne Arundel Medical Center in Baltimore, Md., Lehigh Valley Health Network in Allentown, Pa., and Vancouver General Hospital in Vancouver, British Columbia.

American River Medical, LLC is the representative group of “TRU-D” (sometimes referred to by client hospitals as “Trudi”) for hospital and healthcare facilities in Arizona. President of American River Medical Tagg Neal comments, “A product solution that directly and immediately impacts patient outcomes as dramatically as TRU-D does – is a great opportunity for American River Medical. As a compliment to our core competency in healthcare cart and storage systems – a specialty product like TRU-D SmartUVC Room Disinfection allows us to serve our clients in a comprehensive manner.”

TRU-D SmartUVC – “Trudi” – and American River Medical President Neal – at work in a Arizona hospital isolation patient room; post discharge.

Prior to accepting the TRU-D product line American River Medical vetted similar technologies on the market. Neal shares they chose TRU-D as the only technology to measure the reflectivity of the desired space indicating the necessary germicidal dose of UVC – prior to delivering it.

“As any business person or athlete will attest – it’s impossible to consistently deliver or achieve measurable results without measured steps of progress toward that goal or desired outcome. We simply can’t find true value in products offering UVC delivery – that don’t encompass cloud based, real time, single step solutions with proven measuring process for the reflectivity of the desired space or room to be disinfected. TRU-D meets and exceeds our criteria offering healthcare clients a True Solution.”

TRU-D is now zapping super bugs in hospitals throughout Arizona. Many healthcare facilities are improving their patient infection rates every month – and erradicating “Trouble suites” in their surgical units as “Trudi” goes to work.
