New Research Validates Results of Previous Studies Demonstrating Tru-D® (Lumalier Corporation) Significantly Reduces Environmental Contamination on Surfaces in Patient Rooms

August 12, 2011 By Bio-Medicine.Org

MEMPHIS, Tenn., Aug. 12, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — In an original
article coauthored by John M. Boyce, MD; Nancy L. Havill, MT; and
Brent A. Moore, PhD, “Terminal Decontamination of Patient Rooms
Using an Automated Mobile UV Light Unit” (Infection Control and
Hospital Epidemiology, August 2011), the research team from the
Hospital of Saint Raphael and the Yale University School of
Medicine “. . . demonstrated that an automated, portable UV light
device significantly reduced aerobic colony counts on high-touch
surfaces in patient rooms. Two previous studies evaluated the
ability of the same automated UV light device (Tru-D®;
Lumalier) to decontaminate surfaces in laboratory settings and
hospital rooms.”

All three studies are specific to Tru-D®, a calibrated UV
disinfection instrument featuring patented Sensor360™
technology that has undergone rigorous third party clinical testing
on more than 100 contaminated hospital rooms under demanding,
scientifically controlled conditions. Tru-D® Disinfection is
not based on calculated averages or estimates. The Sensor360™
array scans the targeted space to automatically compensate for
every unique variable in real time to assure confident disinfection
of all environmental surfaces. Company claims have been proven to
be repeatable, significantly reducing human error regardless of
room configuration or content complexity.

Researchers commented that Tru-D® “was easy to use and
required only a few minutes to set up. It does not require constant
monitoring because the device turns itself off when a cycle has
been completed and does not require sealing of air conditioning or
heating vents or doors.”

The article concluded that research “confirmed the results of
previous studies that demonstrated that (Tru-D®) significantly
reduced environmental contamination on surfaces in patient rooms.”
Although the assessment in the Yale study was more rigorous than
previous studies, “. . . th
