DESCRIPTION
Xenex has tested its full spectrum disinfection system on a variety of organisms in several independent labs in the US and internationally.

XENEX EFFECTIVENESS
Shadows & Light ReflectionEffective UV disinfection cannot rely on reflectivity to reach all surfaces. Each type of surface reflects or absorbs UV light differently. That is why we use Xenex in multiple positions.

Lab-Validated EffectivenessXenex has tested its full spectrum disinfection system on a variety of organisms in several independent labs in the US and internationally.Microorganism Acinetobacter baumannii Aspergillus niger [black mold]Bacillus cereus sporesBacillus globigii spores (anthrax surrogate) Bacillus pumilus spores Bacillus subtilis spores Candida albicans Clostridium difficile (“C. diff”) spores (NAP1) Escherichia coli & E. coli (KREC) Klebsiella oxytoca Klebsiella pneumoniae Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)MS2 phageMycobacterium tuberculosisFeline calicivirus (norovirus surrogate)Pseudomonas aeruginosaProteus mirabilisProteus morganiiProteus vulgarisStaphylococcus aureusStaphylococcus epidermidisVancomycin-resistant Enterococci (VRE)

Environmental Effectiveness Studies• 7x more effective than traditional cleaning BMC Infectious Diseases/ April 2014• 16x more effective at deactivating MRSA (Temple VA)• 23% faster than traditional cleaning
• Xenex eliminated all VRE ICHE/Mar 2011 from the environment (MD Anderson Cancer Ctr)
• Bleach removed 70% of C. diff spores while ICAAC Houston/ May 2013 no-bleach clean plus Xenex removed 95% (MD Anderson Cancer Ctr)

Hospital Effectiveness/Patient Outcome Studies53% reduction in HA-C. diff infection rates AJIC/May 2013after 12 months (Cooley Dickinson)
57% reduction in HA-MRSA infection rates JIP/June 2013after 18 months (Moses Cone)
20% reduction HA-C. diff only infection rates AJIC/June 2014 while hitting 22% of discharge rooms (Westchester Medical Center)
Time MattersOften, room turnover time
remains as critical as a pathogen-free patient environment. Mercury system cycle time runs 2 hours and 15 minutes for
C.diff. In contrast, Xenex is proven to clear rooms of
C.diff, VRE, MRSA, and others in 5 minutes. With a total disinfection time of 10 to 15 minutes per room, patients don’t wait.
