2. Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) are a multi-
million dollar problem in today’s healthcare field.
According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention), new antibiotic-resistant bacteria
are becoming more prevalent everyday. With the
diversity of diseases occurring in hospitals and the
pathogens that can cause them, it is not hard to
understand how if left unchecked, these diseases
can spread to other patients, visitors and employees.
Hospitals, assisted living facilities, senior care
facilities, and sports and recreation facilities are all
prime targets for the spread of these conventional-
treatment resistant pathogens.
Reduction in HAIs
According to the CDC, hospitals spend more than
$40 billion annually treating in-hospital infections.
Yet housekeepers typically can only clean about
50% of the surfaces that need cleaning.
The national average of direct costs to a hospital
for treating HAIs is $20,000 per infection. The
prevention of only two infections per year will more
than recoup the entire cost of a Spectra254 solution?
and the ongoing impact of reduced HAIs has the
potential to save your facility millions of dollars. C.
diff, MRSA, salmonella and other superbugs pose
significant danger within hospitals and healthcare
related facilities, impacting 600,000 individuals
a year, according to the CDC, or one in every 25
hospital patients.
The Unrealized Costs of HAIs
Poor quality of care and patient experiences affect
reimbursements. Medicare may penalize your
facility for deficient scores. For example, a 300-bed
hospital with poor infection prevention metrics can
be penalized approximately $1.3 million a year.
Litigation is a reality faced by health care facilities on
a daily basis. If a patient contracts an infection while
being treated for an unrelated medical condition,
this can expose the hospital to additional liabilities.
When you use Spectra254 products, you are taking
proactive measures to reinforce your facilities’
dedication to eliminating preventable healthcare
challenges. You not only reduce human error
possibility intrinsic with manual cleaning, but you may
also reduce the chance of being harmed by litigation.
The Real Cost of HAIs

The Human and Financial Costs of Hospital Infections
Infections contracted in hospitals are the fourth largest killer in America. Every year
in this country, two million patients contract infections in hospitals, and an estimated
103,000 patients die as a result, equaling the number of deaths each year from AIDS,
breast cancer and auto accidents combined.

ADVANCED UVC PRODUCTS THAT HAS BEEN
INDEPENDENTLY CERTIFIED TO REDUCE OR
ELIMINATE 99.98% OF ALL PATHOGENS.
4. Patient Safety Requires It
“Efficacy”
Ξ Spectra254 systems offer the highest UVC dosage available – up to 300,000 mW per centimeter
squared. Independent studies confirm our ability to kill C. diff spores to a level of efficacy greater than 99.9%
Ξ Spectra254 products can decontaminate a 400 square foot space in five minutes.
“Reliability”
Ξ All Spectra254 products include an all-inclusive three–year, no additional cost total warranty.

• Tablet Control for Data Collection
• Tablet Control for Data Collection with Bar-Code Reader.
“Turnaround Time”
Ξ Thorough room decontamination is critical to patient safety. Room turnover is critical to the bottom
line. Spectra254 systems can decontaminate a room in five minutes, and a typical sized patient
room can be readied for the next patient in 15 minutes or less.
“Total Cost of Ownership”
Ξ Spectra254 offers a comprehensive systems approach to infection control with a product line
targeted for every application. Because the competitive acquisition cost of each product includes
