HYGIENA INTERNATIONAL is a global leader in the manufacture and supply of rapid hygiene monitoring tests. ATP Hygiene monitoring is a well established, proven technology that is now becoming more wide spread throughout the healthcare sector and has been awarded Rapid Review Panel 1.
Many hospitals have adopted Hygiena’s lightweight, handheld hygiene monitor, the SystemSURE PLUS, as a more reliable, real time, objective measurement of cleaning and hygiene verification. The SystemSURE PLUS can provide a numerical result in seconds to show how clean or dirty a surface is, which allows boards to monitor the effectiveness of cleaning and identify problem areas. It is used widely in hospitals for many different applications including around wards, operating rooms, hospital laboratories, and kitchens. The SystemSURE can also be used to raise staff awareness as a training tool e.g. to demonstrate hand hygiene, to support quality assurance, to demonstrate key performance indicators and to illustrate due diligence. Real benefits and evidence of success have been seen in many healthcare environments including the North Tees and Hartlepool Trust, which has been using over 30 systems in six departments over the last two years.
