Novaerus Reduces CFU and Fungi
Objective
To test the efficiency of air disinfection of the Novaerus devices on bacteria.
Methodology
Nineteen (19) Protect 800 (Protect 900) devices and four (4) Protect 200 devices were installed in the Pulmonology Department, covering thirty beds in seven wards and connected high and medium risk areas.
Eight (8) Protect 800 (Protect 900) devices were installed in the Traumatology, Septic Department, covering 12 beds in 4 wards and connected high risk areas.
T0 background contamination samples were taken before installation of the Novaerus devices. T4 efficiency test samples were taking after 2 months operation of the Novaerus devices.
Summary of Results
Testing reflected an 82% drop in CFU rates and a 93% reduction in fungi count. The air quality now meets the Swiss Class III standard (500 CFU/m3 for general wards).
