The rise of healthcare associated infections is greater that ever and hospitals struggle to win this crucial battle. In a pilot study vs. a standard Quat disinfectant, the daily use of OxyCide improved surfaces by 35%. This video provides perspective from a Nurse Manager or Patient viewpoint of why the use of a daily disinfectant cleaner is important.
OxyCide™
OxyCide™ Daily Disinfectant Cleaner is a one-step disinfectant for use in hospitals that is effective against Clostridioides difficile (formerly Clostridium difficile) spores, Candida auris and a broad spectrum of other organisms. Its non-bleach formula is compatible with a wide range of materials and helps standardize and simplify your cleaning process for improved operational efficiency.

Microbial Risks
What is Clostridium difficile?
What is Clostridium difficile?
It is a bacteria that has developed resistance to most commonly used antibiotics. When exposed to air it forms a spore that allows it to remain in the environment for long periods of time. C. difficile causes diarrhea and more serious intestinal conditions such as colitis. It is the most frequently identified cause of hospital-acquired diarrheal infection.
What is Candida auris?
According to the CDC, C. auris is an emerging fungus that presents a serious global health threat. It is multi-drug resistant, difficult to identify and can spread through sick patients as well as on contaminated surfaces and equipment, putting hospitalized patients and hospital systems at risk for outbreaks.
1/2 Million Illnesses Each Year Caused by C. difficile
1/2 Million Illnesses Each Year Caused by C. difficile
The United States Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in collaboration with state health departments estimate that C. difficile causes almost half a million illnesses each year in the U.S. resulting in 29,300 deaths. About one quarter of these illnesses occurred in hospital settings.

Helping Hand-Hygiene Adherence
Infection-prevention and infection-control professionals are on the front-lines everyday fighting one of the most harmful enemies their patients will ever encounter: healthcare-associated infections (HAIs). It’s no easy task, but when clinical teams follow evidence-based guidelines and practices, engage facility-wide cooperation in the effort, and adopt products and services that are proven to work, healthcare providers do succeed.
Study Shows Proven Results
Beaufort Memorial Hospital reduced Hospital-Onset C. diff rates by 64%, improved high-touch object cleaning to >88%, reduced damage to hospital equipment, and improved room discharge time by 9 minutes as part of an overall environmental hygiene program implementing training and monitoring and use of OxyCideT.

Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
