Across industries, In healthcare, OhmniClean helps mitigate the high cost of HAIs (hospital-acquired infections) and improves disinfection efficacy while keeping patients and staff away from harsh chemicals. In hospitality, the robot saves capital costs as each system can service multiple facilities.
OhmniClean’s light weight and maneuverability reduce the risk of user injury while also allowing it to clean even the smallest of spaces. School administrators will enjoy OhmniClean’s ease of use. Classrooms can be mapped and disinfected in less than 30 minutes, thereby saving on labor costs. Commercial cleaners will benefit from a reduction in capital costs because fewer systems will be needed given OhmniClean’s short turn-around time. Below are additional benefits you can expect from OhmniClean regardless of industry.
Hospital-grade disinfection
OhmniClean provides reliable and thorough disinfection. Based on independent antimicrobial efficacy testing, the UV-C disinfection of OhmniClean can eliminate at, or over, 99.999% of tested microorganisms. Compare this efficacy rate to manual cleaning and disinfection and you will find that manual methods often do not eliminate important pathogens such as C. diffcile and MRSA. According to Becker’s Healthcare, “of 1,917 patient rooms cleaned using standard processes and detergent, nearly 25 percent still contained strains of MRSA, according to a 2014 study in BMJ Journals. This finding suggests hospitals cannot rely on manual cleaning alone to fully eradicate pathogens and deter HAIs.”
Furthermore, microbiological studies indicate that conventional cleaning and disinfection without programs of targeted improvement rarely eradicate pathogens from surfaces. For example, MRSA was identified on 66% of surfaces in patient rooms following terminal cleaning in one study and C. difficile spores persisted despite bleach disinfection in another.
Full autonomy reduces errors and labor costs
OhmniClean runs autonomously, navigating itself in complex environments. Our autonomous technology bypasses a key limitation of manual cleaning — reliance on a human operator to correctly select and formulate an appropriate cleaning agent and to distribute it to the target surfaces for the necessary contact time. An assessment of conventional cleaning in 36 acute hospitals revealed that <50% of high-risk objects in hospital rooms were cleaned at patient discharge. With autonomy, a robot can clean a room uniformly and thoroughly every time.
The absence of a human operator also leads to lower labor costs. OhmniClean, for example, is capable of disinfecting a 3000 sq. ft space in less than 15 minutes (calculated for a log3 reduction of SARS-CoV-2). Compare this to other automated systems, when disinfecting a 500-1500 sq. ft. space, an HPV (hydrogen peroxide vapor) system has about a 1.5 hour cycle time and an aHP (aerosolized hydrogen peroxide) system has about a 2 hour cycle time.
A fully autonomous system with a short cycle time makes it possible for one person to manage a small fleet of disinfection robots, instead of a human crew, turning over several rooms at a time in a quick and efficient manner.
Instant-swap battery technology for unlimited uptime
OhmniClean was designed with a swappable battery that minimizes downtime. Experience the full utility of a mobile UV-C disinfection solution and disinfect with 100% uptime by simply swapping out the drained battery for a fully charged one.
