2. SmartUVC ; The power to stop pathogens that
™
routinely compromise healthcare environments.
Increased evidence published in scientific literature confirms that Clostridium difficile, MRSA, VRE, Acinetobacter baumannii, and influenza are
transmitted via environmental surfaces. Published studies indicate that only 50% of environmental surfaces in a typical OR suite or patient
room may be effectively disinfected; and that a patient’s risk of contracting an HAI increases 100% when the previous room occupant had
been diagnosed with an infection.
How does SmartUVC ™ work?
TRU-D SmartUVC™ is the only portable UV disinfection system that precisely measures reflected UVC emissions with Sensor360™ to
automatically deliver the pathogen-lethal UV dose required for each room, dynamically compensating for room size, shape and other dose-
altering variables such as the position of contents, windows, blinds and doors. TRU-D uses narrow band UVC light for a high efficiency
targeting of the DNA-disrupting wavelength that stops pathogens. TRU-D is safe to use in rooms with glass windows and doors. UVC is
not transmitted through glass windows.
Why TRU-D is the best choice:
DOSE ASSURANCE – Exclusive SmartUVC insures that an effective UVC DOSE is delivered to targeted direct and shadowed
high touch surfaces
CONVENIENCE – With TRU-D SmartUVC, consistent and predictable touchless UVC room disinfection is now available for
routine use
CONFIDENCE IN PERFORMANCE – Results supported by multiple independent peer reviewed studies conducted by leading
authorities in infection control and epidemiology
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION – Most TRU-D customers seek additional systems after their initial purchase
4. Data Specific to TRU-D with SmartUVC ™

“...organisms were significantly reduced, reproducibly by 3–4 log10, under high contamination levels that exceed levels
normally found in healthcare facilities.”William A. Rutala, PhD, MPH; Maria F. Gergen, MT (ASCP); David J. Weber, MD, MPH
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, October 2010
“TRU-D device was able to decontaminate all surfaces in 40 hospital rooms, including hard-to-clean surfaces such as
the undersides of tables.”
“18% of sites under the edges of bedside tables were still contaminated with MRSA after routine hospital cleaning,
versus 0% after TRU-D use.”
“... application of TRU-D using the ‘spore’ setting consistently reduced recovery of C. difficile spores and MRSA by
>2-3 logs. Similar VRE reduction was achieved in about half the time...” Michelle Nerandzic, Curtis Donskey, MD, Chair of the Infection
Control Committee at the Cleveland VA Medical Center.
BMS Infectious Diseases 2010
“We confirmed the results of two previous studies that demonstrated that (Tru-D) significantly reduced
environmental contamination on high-touch surfaces in patient rooms.” “Widespread adoption of these technologies
(Tru-D)... should be considered for terminal room disinfection in healthcare facilities.” John M Boyce, MD; Nancy L Havill, MT;
Brent A Moore, PhD.
Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology, August 2011
“Epicenter funding is highly competitive. We selected Tru-D because its automated system is proven to significantly
reduce environmental pathogens and eliminate human error in the disinfection process.”
Daniel Sexton, M.D., Medical Director, Duke Infection Control Outreach Network (DICON); as quoted in Reuters story,
“There are now three studies that have demonstrated that this UV-C system (Tru-D) is capable of reducing
vegetative bacteria (MRSA,VRE, and Acinetobacter baumannii) inoculated on a carrier by 3-4 log10”

Patents for TRU-D Rapid Room Disinfection Systems were granted after
more than a decade of research and clinical trials. TRU-D is an effective,
chemical-free method of environmental surface disinfection ideally suited for
the challenging healthcare environment.
