Cleaner. Greener. Leaner.
The Green standard introduces a sustainable approach for enhancing infection prevention in healthcare environments. It sets a standard for the use of UV-C disinfection devices, providing detailed guidelines to support these devices effective integration into healthcare workflows.
Specifically designed for semi-critical medical devices such as flexible ENT
channel-less endoscopes, rigid ENT endoscopes, TEE probes, and ultrasound
probes, the Green standard prioritizes patient safety, sustainability and
workflow efficiency.
The Green standard:
- Prioritizes patient safety
- Sustainability
- Supports efficient workflow
Challenges in infection control
The Green standard was created to address 5 critical challenges in healthcare:
Waste Reduction
High chemical and consumable waste
Regulatory Compliance
Challenges in meeting healthcare standard
Patient Safety
Inconsistent disinfection leading to infection risks
Workflow Efficiency
Time-consuming and costly processes
Sustainability Advocacy
Striving to lead by example in healthcare sustainability
What is the
Green
standard?
A sustainable and compliant approach to enhance infection through four major components:
Guidelines
A step-by-step disinfection guideline for efficient disinfection using UV-C light
Validation
A detailed verification and validation report about the UV-C disinfection device
Accessories
