Visium Far-UVC

Continuous Environmental Sanitization.

Visium is a groundbreaking sanitization system that can be used 24/7 in human-occupied areas of the hospital to provide non-stop inactivation of pathogens in the air and on surfaces using the power of human-safe, filtered Far-UVC technology. Installed in the ceiling, Visium works passively, invisibly and without sound in ORs, Burn Units, ICUs and any critical area of the hospital to safely inactivate airborne pathogens in real-time, to improve air quality and reduce pathogen load on surfaces. In two separate studies, Filtered Far-UVC has been demonstrated to continuously inactivate >98% of aerosolized Staph aureus under constant challenge in a room-sized chamber and >99% of airborne Murine Norovirus in an occupied laboratory environment. 1,2 Visium has been independently tested to achieve 99.9 % reductions of bacteria, viruses and molds.

Cost-Effective, Energy-Efficient

Technology.

When you consider the high cost of enhanced disinfection technologies that only provide a short-term benefit, require staff availability and proficiency, and increase room turn-over time, Visium Far-UVC is a breath of fresh air that will make your CFO smile. Once Visium is installed in the ceiling, much like a recessed can light, the device can be deployed round-the-clock or on any duty schedule via the Lit Thinking app to provide simple, easy and labor-free sanitization. 

Each Visium device consumes only 14W of power, resulting in an annual energy cost of just $26.98 per unit when operating continuously (based on a rate of $0.22/kWh). Combined with zero labor costs, Visium offers autonomous, round-the-clock pathogen inactivation, making its cost-effectiveness crystal clear.

If you’re wondering what ‘always on’ sanitization can do for your bottom line, contact us today for a detailed cost-analysis.

Intelligently Designed

Air Quality for ORs.

Did you know that the air quality in operating rooms (ORs) can significantly affect the risk of Surgical Site Infections (SSIs)? Studies have found that airborne contaminants in the OR are linked to SSIs, with around two-thirds of periprosthetic joint infections (PJI) occurring during surgery. Despite efforts to reduce the risk, PJIs after Total Hip Arthroscopy (THA) and Total Knee Arthroscopy (TKA) remain at about 2.1% and 2.3% respectively in the U.S.​

When you consider that treating each PJI episode costs hospitals around $89,000 (THA) and $116,000 (TKA), plus the increased risk of mortality, it’s clear that we need better solutions. That’s where proactive, automated, passive air cleaning systems come in. Visium can continuously clean the air in the OR, reducing airborne pathogens and which can potentially save lives and money.​

Continuous Cleaning for

Peace of Mind.

Although enhanced no-touch disinfection systems deliver immediate effectiveness as a temporary solution, their efficacy in maintaining long-term cleanliness within hospital environments is limited. Studies indicate that even after terminal cleaning and disinfection, surfaces can quickly become re-contaminated. For instance, in a burn unit, multidrug-resistant Acinetobacter was found to re-contaminate surfaces within just 2-3 hours after terminal cleaning, with the level of contamination increasing over time.*

Considering the persistent threat posed by airborne and surface-borne bacteria and viruses, compounded by continuous shedding of skin cells and infectious microbes through human activities such as speaking, coughing, and sneezing, Visium’s ability to provide continuous pathogen inactivation round-the-clock, even in the presence of people, represents a significant advancement in combating transmission.

Visium does the work, so you can get back to what’s important.
