UVD ROBOT AT THE AMETHYST RADIOTHERAPY CENTER

As a result of a tender conducted by the European Commission at the turn of May and June this year. Nine state-of-the-art disinfection devices will be delivered to Polish hospitals
and room decontamination called UVD Robot. The device will work, among others: at the Amethyst Radiotherapy Center in Krakow. UVD Robot eliminates pathogen clusters thanks to UV-C radiation and is effective in preventing the spread of Covid-19.

The implementation of nine UVD Robots in Poland will start on May 25 this year. The hospitals to which the devices will be delivered are: Lower Silesian Center for Heart Diseases. prof. Zbigniew Religa MEDINET in Wrocław, Independent Public Health Care Complex in Świdnica, Greater Poland Medical Center - St. Hospital. Wojciech in Poznań, Gynecological and Obstetrics Hospital ŁUBINOWA in Katowice, District Hospital in Radomsko, Bielański Hospital. priest Jerzy Popiełuszko in Warsaw, Provincial Specialist Hospital. Dr. Wł. Biegański in Łódź, as well as two branches in Kraków, Amethyst Radiotherapy Center and University Children's Hospital.

UVD robots enable hospitals to reduce disease transmission by killing 99,99% of bacteria, viruses and fungi in approximately 10 minutes in a room such as a patient room or operating room. Unlike many stationary disinfection robots, UVD Robot is a mobile, fully autonomous robot that integrates concentrated UV-C light to destroy the DNA and RNA structure of pathogenic microorganisms not only on surfaces but also in the air, providing a fully comprehensive solution in the field of infection control and prevention. The system automatically pays attention to sinks, handles and other surfaces with which we unconsciously come into contact.

Maintaining the sanitary regime during an epidemic is a key challenge for a cancer treatment facility. Cancer will not wait for the epidemic to end, which is why we carry out many activities to function uninterrupted. The use of a modern disinfection robot will increase the safety of both our patients and medical staff - emphasizes Przemysław Zachwieja from the management board of the Amethyst Radiotherapy Center.

The purpose of implementing autonomous UVD Robot disinfection robots is to ensure a sterile environment in medical facilities without exposing staff to unnecessary risks. Robot's UVD technology is a physical process involving the emission of UV-C rays. It does not require the use of chemical disinfectants and is safe for hospital staff. The use of the robot does not require the involvement of personnel, transport or storage of any toxic, hazardous or corrosive chemicals for disinfection. The cleaning staff operates the robot remotely via a mobile application, and the process starts outside the room being disinfected.

Reducing the time spent on disinfection allows medical staff to focus on the most important tasks, and at the same time improves the hospital's work to protect the lives and health of patients not only during a pandemic, epidemics of seasonal infectious diseases, but also in the case of everyday hospital work - emphasizes Tomasz Witkowski from the company MED&CARE, distributor of the UVD Robot device in Poland. The manufacturer of UVD Robot, the Danish company UVD Robots, emphasizes that devices of this generation set the standard for autonomous disinfection in the world. They are present in over sixty countries around the world, on seven continents.
