Advanced Technical Support Introduces The Healthcare Industry's Only Chemical-Free Disinfection Process For Tablet PCs
Innovative Solutions Firm Develops ReadyDock:UV with Germicidal Light for General Purpose Disinfection of the Motion C5v MCA
HIMSS 2011
Booth #4151
Advanced Technical Support, Inc. (ATS), a leader in the development and deployment of innovative software, hardware and operational solutions, recently introduced from the 2011 Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) Annual Conference & Exhibition, ReadyDock:UV. Tested by microbiologists at Yale-New Haven Hospital, ReadyDock:UV provides chemical-free disinfection via germicidal light for the Motion® C5v Mobile Clinical Assistant (MCA).
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are infections caused during the course of receiving medical care, and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that 1.7 million HAIs occur every year, with 99,000 of those infections resulting in death.[i] With medical facilities spending an estimated $30B each year to treat HAIs, routine disinfection of high-touch surfaces is paramount.[ii] An industry first, ReadyDock:UV provides general purpose disinfection for 99 percent of the C5v's surface area. Additionally, ReadyDock:UV disinfects in just 105 seconds with a maximum use cycle of 20,000 disinfections per tablet.
"Medical facilities need to do everything in their power to eliminate HAIs, not only because of the costs they incur, but more importantly, to maintain a safe environment for their patients," said David Engelhardt, President, Advanced Technical Support, Inc. "We at ATS have made it our mission to create a product that provides a consistent engineering control around the tablet disinfection process, while simultaneously saving medical facilities the time, cost and manpower associated with that process."
"Motion has enjoyed a long and successful relationship with ATS, and we value our partner's innovative solutions that improve the usability and functionality of our C5v which has become a valuable productivity tool for healthcare organizations worldwide," said Mike Stinson, Vice President of Motion.
ATS will be demonstrating ReadyDock:UV in Motion's booth #4151 at the HIMSS Annual Conference & Exhibition, held February 20–24, 2011 in Orlando, F.L. ReadyDock:UV is manufactured, delivered and serviced through ATS and available for sale through Motion's network of value-added resellers and distributors. The ReadyDock:UV is expected to be available early in March 2011.
