Control The Spread of Harmful Germs With Shoe Disinfection Technology

COVID has had a significant impact on the long-term care sector and James L. West Center is moving boldly into the future – a future that includes COVID now and more viruses in the future. This technology complements our existing environmental services platform with a goal to create germ-free environments for today’s residents and our team, as well as for future West Center stakeholders..

“We have our robots which we utilize to clean a variety of different locations in the facility. We also have PathO3Gen solutions shoe sanitizing stations at all of our entry areas,”

“For those of us at ground zero of this pandemic, the thought of spreading the virus around our temporary home at Park Central Hotel by simply walking inside was terrifying. The PathO3Gen Solutions Shoe Sanitizing Stations gave us all solace. A small thing that made a HUGE difference!”

“Employees are thrilled that we’re doing something to protect the residents that also protects them and their families. Our Residents and their families rave about the PathO3Gen Solutions Shoe Sanitizing Station and love stepping on the SSS for a few seconds to completely sanitize their shoes. One home health nurse told us she no longer keeps an extra pair of shoes in the trunk of her car. There are many factors to consider when choosing an assisted living facility and the PathO3Gen SSS helps us maintain our competitive edge.”

“To help improve our compliance with USP 797 and minimize the risk of pathogens contaminating our Clean room, we added to our department’s action plan your PathO3Gen Solutions Shoe Sanitizing Station. The stations are now part of our process that each employee uses prior to entering our clean room. Our last Air and Surface samples were negative for any growth in both rooms. We will continue to utilize the PathO3Gen Solutions Shoe Sanitizing Station in our Ante room because the more tools we have to minimize risk for our patients helps us provide safer patient care.”

“Along with PPE and social distancing, we have added the use of UVC technology for disinfecting our resident rooms and all common spaces. In addition, we introduced the PathO3Gen Solutions Ozone + UVC shoe disinfecting system. When visitors and staff enter our facility, they are asked to take 8 seconds to help improve the safety of Fellowship Community.”

“From a duty of care and liability perspective, an employer’s first consideration needs to be safety. These 5 technologies are increasingly being utilized in healthcare, manufacturing, food processing, entertainment, universities & K – 12, religious facilities, and more. Safety comes first. The integration of multiple technologies can be layered into a complete protection system.”

The COVID-19 pandemic has reminded everyone how important it is to clean and disinfect surfaces, but we rarely think about viral contamination on floors. As we were studying the best ways to keep our facilities safe, we learned viral and bacterial material from floors can rapidly spread to high-touch surfaces throughout a building. I’m confident these UVZone shoe sanitizing stations will help keep our most crucial facilities cleaner and safer, and Marion County staff and residents can feel confident we’re doing everything we can to keep them safe and healthy.

We have updated our HAI rate graphs and the reduction that we’ve seen since Feb 2019 (PathO3Gen Solutions UVZone shoe disinfection technology implementation date) is 53% through March 2020.  We have always had a lower than expected HAI rate at our facility. However, since the inception of the PathO3Gen Solutions UVZone shoe disinfection technology and other infection control measures, we have reduced our rate by 53%.

We at Clear Choice Health Care, LLC (Skilled Nursing and Assisted Living) believe so strongly in the PathO3Gen Solutions Ozone+UVC disinfection technology that I recommended all 11 of the facilities we manage implement PathO3Gen Solutions’ UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Stations to ensure that each facility was doing all they could to provide a visible sign of safety, and maintain cleaner environments. Being the first in Florida to create an All-Covid facility (Dolphin Point Healthcare), I was excited to find this new technology to help stop the spread of pathogens, including coronavirus.

With the CDC recommendation that all persons disinfect shoe soles before walking out of areas with COVID-19 patients, obtaining the best form of protection with PathO3Gen Solutions UVZone shoe sanitizing station, for our staff and patients was a priority for Gaylord. We are appreciative to the Greater New Haven COVID-19 Community Fund for making this a reality.

We at Christian Care Centers of Memphis are doing everything we can to keep people safe, so we really appreciate this new Ozone + UVC technology. Since we’ve implemented the PathO3Gen Solutions’ UVZone shoe sanitizing station, it has become quite a conversation piece. Everyone that comes in wants to know what this is – they’ve never seen one before. The UVZone shoe sanitizing station is helping family members and staff feel safer. We are very glad to have it.
