State-of-the-art decontaminator for Macclesfield hospital

East Cheshire NHS Trust have installed innovative ultraviolet-C (UV-C) decontamination equipment as part of a new partnership with infection control experts, Inivos.

Installed at Macclesfield Hospital, the state-of-the-art cleaning equipment uses high intensity UV-C light to decontaminate rooms and surfaces where there is a potential risk of transmission of a harmful organism. 

Ideal for high-risk areas such as intensive care units (ICUs), neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), isolation rooms, side rooms, A&E and operating theatres, the equipment can also be used to decontaminate hospital equipment.

Deputy Director of Nursing and Quality for the trust, Paul Devlin added: “We are so grateful to Inivos for supplying this incredible piece of kit to East Cheshire NHS Trust.

“Working with this innovative equipment will support our domestic services teams to deep clean patient areas quicker, in turn allowing us to support our clinical teams to improve patient flow within the hospital and continue to provide patients with the highest quality of care.”
