WHY IS INFUSER NOMINATED FOR THE PRIZE OF INNOVATION 2017?
Because we have dedicated ourselves to saving lives with our groundbreaking invention – STERISAFETM Probased on the Full-Depth Disinfection Cycle (FDDC) technology. STERISAFETM Pro is the secure, effective, easy and sustainable answer to prevention and elimination of healthcare acquired infections (HAI). These infections are typically acquired in environments, where there is a lot of human interaction – e.g. hospitals, operating theaters, nursing homes, (daycare) centers and the like. STERISAFETM Pro bio-disinfects the air and all surfaces by killing bacteria, viruses and harmful fungi, whilst removing dangerous particles at the same time. No consumables and no harmful chemicals – just effective full-circle disinfection.
Every year, around 100.000 Danes (8-10% of those, who are hospitalized) are affected by an infection, they have acquired during a hospital stay. Of these, approximately 3.000 people die. At a European level, over 4 million patients are affected by HAI with 37.000 deaths as a result. These numbers are unacceptable, and they are costlier than any society or economy can bear. Therefore, INFUSER has set forth to prevent, control and minimize the occurrence of healthcare acquired infections once for all.
