UVC disinfection system

for water trap

Water traps are some of the most contaminated areas in hospitals and increasingly recognised as potential vehicles for transmission of multi-drug resistant bacteria to patients. Water used for staff hand washing, hygiene of patients or washing devices is contaminated and then drained through the sinks. If the flow of the water is restricted, biofilm-forming bacteria may form stable reservoirs in the waste pipes and the semi-horizontal drain pipes if they are not inclined enough or are partially blocked. The UVMATIC® Water Trap Disinfector keeps the water in sink waste pipes sanitised, killing bacteria and preventing biofilm formulation. By preventing the spread of multi-resistant bacteria you reduce the risk of HCAI’s which is not only cost efficient, but also safeguards your clinicians and patients’ health.  The UVC lamp only uses approximately 12w per hour and will only need changing once a year for continued efficiency. Easy to install and inexpensive to run the DDC UVC Water Trap Disinfector is available to fit all sink and wash basin variations. Benefits Eliminates MDR Bacteria such as CPOS, VRE and ESBL producing organisms Germ count in water traps can be reduced up to 3-6 log using UVC in the drains Prevents Biofilm formation Low running costs, as little as 12w per hour Easy to install Fits all sink and wash basin variations Clinically tested. The Technology The UVC Lamp contained within the UVC Water Trap Disinfector will target biofilm formation by continuously irradiating the internal surfaces of the water trap, destroying the bacteria, or limiting its ability to colonise and form biofilms.
