Along with manpower, employees have the help of technology, thanks to a device called “Tru-D”.
UV Light Disinfection | Tru-DUV Light Disinfection is an environmentally friendly method of killing bacteria, mold, fungi, and viruses without the use of harmful chemicals.
Before and after a patient leaves their room, the device disinfects hard to reach places. EVS teams then come in after to sanitize and wipe down surfaces.
