A growing body of evidence supports the role of the environment as a reservoir for HCAI causing pathogens, making the reduction of environmental contamination an important part of infection prevention and control measures.
The Glosair 400 System, from ADVANCED STERILIZATION PRODUCTS (ASP), is an automated area decontamination system that uses a combination of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and silver cations to rapidly and safely decontaminate areas with a high environmental bioburden. Published field trials have demonstrated the efficacy of the system, and an increasing number of reports from clinical practice also support the utility and effectiveness of the system.
