Fields of Application – Nursing homes
The cross infection problems associated when high numbers of people who stay in communal rooms or have access to all areas of a nursing home are apparent. This freedom of access will facilitate the expansion and consequent propagation of biological agents, such as bacteria, virus and fungi, many of which are potential pathogens for humans. These micro-organisms spread mainly in the air, hide, multiply and contaminate environments, leading to an increased risk of infections.
There are innumerable opportunities for biological contamination in nursing homes. In particular as a consequence of elderly or immune deficient people, who are particularly sensitive to microbial infections, staying in these places often for long periods.
The environment appears to play an extremely important role in preventing the occurrence of infections and related diseases. It has been proven that structural surfaces, furniture and objects in general can house numerous micro-organisms and become the natural habitat in which they can expand abundantly. It is therefore of the utmost importance that these places undergo thorough cleaning and sanitisation.
People working in communities definitely need very safe and practical sanitisation products that guarantee excellent results and very high efficiency while saving time and money. The revolutionary Sani System sanitising method has precisely these features, unlike commonly used chemical disinfectants, which have serious limits, including possible toxicity and/or irritability that could harm the operator and/or guests, in addition to the difficulty of reaching into cracks and narrow gaps.
Sani System is an electromedical device for high-level sanitisation of environments with a high risk of biological contamination (Class IIA medical device for professional use). It produces high-temperature (180°C) over-heated dry saturated steam in combination with the sanitising solution HPMed. The system enables the bacterial, fungal and viral load of the surfaces and fabrics to which it is applied to be reduced in only a few seconds.
Treating all surfaces potentially contaminated by pathogens with Sani System considerably reduces the risk of infections and ensures living and staying in a healthy and safe environment.
The Polti Sani System associated with HPMed has also proved to be very effective in eliminating smells, neutralising all sorts of unpleasant emissions that can form in any environment in which large numbers of people are present. The Polti Sani System contributes towards the well-being of patients, guests and staff, guaranteeing sanitised rooms with no unpleasant odours.
