The highest level of protection on the Gynecology Clinic - Ljubljana

The Gynecology Clinic Ljubljana is a top Slovenian institution that complements its professional work with research and educational activities in the field of gynecology and obstetrics.

The SteriPro UVC disinfection robot serves as a very good upgrade to our existing cleaning and disinfection methods, as it is easy to use and can be operated by a wide range of staff. The running time of the machine is relatively short, which allows our work process to run smoothly. It also provides us with traceability of the disinfections carried out.

However, professionalism and care are just the start of their dedication to providing the best service they can. The Ljubljana Gynecological Clinic has brought its manual cleaning to the highest level - disinfection with UV-C radiation, using the SteriPro device.
Gynecological clinics are one of the most intimate facilities, where specialists often deal with the most sensitive patients - babies. People with weak or underdeveloped immune systems have a higher risk of being a target of different infections.

Hygiene in such facilities is crucial for both the mothers and the babies.
Infectious diseases are a serious threat in Gynecology Clinics. They can increase maternal mortality, cause complications in childbirth, or severely affect the lives of mothers and children through physical or mental damage caused by almost invisible organisms.

Antibiotic-resistant microbes are very difficult to treat and treatments usually come at a very high cost. The safest way is to avoid such infections at all costs. Hospital-grade UV-C devices are the most efficient at destroying such microbes by destroying their DNA and RNA.
SteriPro, for example, has a proven log6 reduction, which means that SteriPro destroys 99.9999% of all antibiotic-resistant microbes on surfaces in a matter of seconds.
Microorganisms do not choose their "victims", but we have technology powerful enough to reduce or prevent such infections.

Darja Kukovič (dipl. m. s.), registered nurse, Hygiene and Epidemiological Coordinator at the Gynaecology Clinic of UMC Ljubljana shared a few thoughts about the SteriPro:

At the Gynaecology Clinic of the Ljubljana University Medical Centre, we are faced daily with probably the most delicate patients – newborns. Due to their still underdeveloped immune systems, we at the Gynaecology Clinic are particularly attentive to achieving the highest possible level of cleanliness. We are constantly monitoring new developments in this area, new ways of ensuring additional disinfection, and new technologies to protect both our patients and staff. 

The SteriPro UVC disinfection robot serves as a very good upgrade to our existing cleaning and disinfection methods, as it is easy to use and can be operated by a wide range of staff. The running time of the machine is relatively short, which allows our work process to run smoothly. It also provides us with traceability of the disinfections carried out.

In microbiological sampling before and after the use of the UVC disinfection robot, we found that the disinfection of surfaces and rooms after additional disinfection with the UVC robot is more effective than manual cleaning and disinfection alone, which otherwise achieves compliance with the requirements.
