Objective: This activity proposes the acquisition of 30 EA Hospital Room UVC Disinfection System. This system will allow medical staff to disinfect patient rooms and specific surfaces to increase C. difficile infection (CDI) prevention at Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center. The UVC disinfection system should have versatility to treat hard to reach surfaces (e.g., between 1 and 7 feet) and adjustable lamps to target problem areas (e.g., toilet seat, sink or under a bed). Preference will be given to a UVC system with multiple lamps that are adjustable to treat an array of heights and angles. Background: Environmental Management Service (EMS) works closely with the medical staff and Infection Prevention and Control personnel to disinfect patient rooms after the room has been occupied by a patient diagnosed with C diff. The number of C-Diff rooms has increased, despite current sanitation procedures. The Louis Stokes Cleveland VA Medical Center currently utilizes the Tru-D SmartUVC Part Number: 0367AOLF, but we are still not getting the desired results and the level of disinfection expected to especially hard to reach areas. Our medical center would like to stress that the UVC disinfection system we are looking for, should have versatility to treat hard to reach surfaces with adjustable lamps to target specific problem areas (e.g., toilet seats, sinks or under a beds). Preference will be given to a UVC system with multiple lamps that are adjustable to treat an array of heights and angles and requires as little interference of the operator during the disinfection process. The government intends to use UVC disinfection systems with versatility to treat hard to reach surfaces (e.g., between 1 and 7 feet) and adjustable lamps to target problem areas (e.g., toilet seat, sink or under a bed) in conjunction with the current disinfection procedures to decrease the infection rate. Preference will be given to a UVC system with multiple lamps that are adjustable to treat an array of heights and angles. Ultraviolet C (UVC) Systems using UVC (e.g., 256 nanometer wavelength) provide a proven technology for treating a room after a C diff patient is discharged. However, to be effective, UVC must be in close proximity and directly exposing the surfaces being treated. MOONBEAM3: MoonBeam3 Disinfection Technology The MoonBeam3 is a UVC disinfecting device that has three individually adjustable UVC heads, each generating a broad umbrella of intense UVC light and each articulating head can be positioned vertically or horizontally to direct the UVC light to broad area disinfection surfaces from six inches to more than seven feet from the ground and four feet outward.
