The hospital grade televisions feature new technology to reduce risk of spreading bacteria


HCI has introduced new 26" and 32" Infection Control Series (ICS) RoomMate Digital Televisions for use in hospitals and other healthcare facilities to entertain and educate patients, visitors, and staff. The hospital grade televisions feature new technology that can reduce the risk of infection from the spread of bacteria.

The ICS televisions, part of HCI's RoomMate family of hospital-grade TVs, offer an innovative, sleek design made exclusively for the healthcare industry with patients in mind.

Included on each unit is an all-glass, unbreakable front that is impervious to bacteria and can be wiped down with hospital-grade disinfectants. The whispering wall speakers eliminate bacteria-filled speaker grills commonly found on current hospital models, and the capacitive touch button panel accommodates weak fingers and never wears out.

The ICS series also includes virtual channel line-up, media player, USB clone and "Clean TV" button for use during TV cleaning.

"With the increase of HAI's, we felt we needed to provide hospitals with a product that is easily and effectively cleaned with commonly available hospital disinfectants. Further, new technologies now permit us to eliminate all the typical TV nooks and crannies that accumulate destructive bacteria," says Rick Pratt, ceo of HCI.

HCI is based in Cincinnati, Ohio and has been a provider of education and entertainment solutions for healthcare for over 40 years. With installations throughout the US and Canada, its products couple the latest technologies with cost-effective software solutions, hospital grade televisions and accessories. HCI's solutions are designed to increase patient satisfaction and promote consistent patient care.

New strides in H2O2 biodecontamination

Since the emergence of ‘isolator technology’ in the 1980s, hydrogen peroxide has been the favoured agent for biodecontamination because the residues are benign. However, as effective use has been challenging due to a multitude of factors, it is interesting to compare a new ultrasonic dispersal method to the classic flash evaporation one.
