DoH & PASA Publish report on Success of BIOQUELL System in Showcase Hospital Programme

The Department of Health and NHS Purchasing and Supply Agency have published a report outlining the successful deployment of the BIOQUELL Proactive service in seven NHS Showcase Hospitals as part of the HCAI Technology Innovation Programme.

BIOQUELL's RRP1 technology was deployed as part of the programme in order to assess the ease of use in an everyday hospital environment.

The conclusions of the report are resoundingly successful:

"The BIOQUELL system - which is known to be an effective way of disinfecting rooms and equipment - can be used without undue disruption to staff or patients"

"99% of staff would recommend it"

In response to this report, BIOQUELL's Head of RBDS Matthew Parks commented:

"By placing BIOQUELL's Proactive decontamination Service into busy operational NHS settings, the DOH have been able to assess the benefits of our service. Despite the inherent problems of introducing new technologies into existing operational structures, I am delighted that we achieved such a high level of approval with all hospital staff. With hospitals always extremely busy it is extremely good news that we were able to implement this service with 83% percent of those surveyed reporting no delay to the admission or discharge of patients."
