SmartUVC uses Sensor360 technology to precisely measure UV light levels and ensure pathogens on surfaces are effectively disinfected. It can disinfect entire rooms, including hard to reach areas, and multiple studies have found it reduces pathogens like MRSA and C. difficile by 3-4 log levels. TRU-D is the only system that guarantees a lethal UV dose is delivered to all surfaces using its automated dynamic dosing approach.

UV light in the range of 200 - 280 nm (UVC) inactivates pathogens as a result of the absorption of the UV light by the nucleotides of DNA molecules.
The nucleotides are dimerized by UVC and the subsequent chemical modification prevents DNA replication and transcription.
This presentation explores the significance of the germicidal effect of UVC for processing liquid dairy products in both developing and developed markets, on its potential to improve raw milk quality, and address food safety issues around soft cheeses.

Disinfecting Mobile Devices for use in Healthcare SettingsPhilip Gulan
The use of mobile technology is expected to have a profound impact on how care is delivered, the quality of patient experience and the cost of healthcare in general. Therefore, the quantity of mobile devices being used in healthcare environments is expanding significantly every year. Use of smartphones and tablets in the healthcare settings is rapidly expanding and contributing to improved healthcare and reduced costs around the globe. But this introduction of new technology into clinically sensitive areas creates the risk of passing along bacterial contamination throughout a hospital.
The present study was aimed to design a simple model to test efficacy of germicidal Ultraviolet light (UV-C) used inside ChargeMax as a charging cabinet designed for smartphones and tablets and made by Cetrix Technologies.
This presentation aims to give a quick guide on new technologies in environmental cleaning. The decision of choosing a specific type depends on each healthcare setting and its need.

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

“...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”
