Tracking progress
The Outcome Based Service for Mechanical Systems monitors mechanical equipment performance in line with such performance indicators as building comfort, energy efficiency and maintenance. The service uses advanced algorithms that monitor and analyze HVAC controllers, mechanical equipment and their key components, such as boilers and chillers. Honeywell International Inc.
Lighting
Stable connection
MC Luminary HCF combines electric lighting and control circuits under a single interlocked armor. With a dual grounding path that enhances safety, MC Luminary HCF has been approved for use in patient care areas under NEC 517.13. The new cable is designed for use with newer energy-saving, solid-state LED and fluorescent lighting fixtures. AFC Cable Systems Inc.
Easy on the eyes
LED lighting troffers with new Safe Blue technology help to reduce light sensitivity, eye strain and fatigue. They reduce the amount of blue-light wavelengths that are common in conventional LED and standard lighting options. They are designed to improve occupant comfort in settings such as hospitals. LG Electronics USA Inc.
Level control
The recently launched PW Series of wirelessly programmable Everline LED drivers for indoor linear lighting applications are available in 20-, 30-, 55- and 80-watt power levels. The line features programmable output current and relative 1 percent dimming with optional dim-to-off functionality. Universal Lighting Technologies Inc.
Multifunction light
The Symmetry 23-inch White Light Disinfection model emits continuous disinfection from safe, pure white light. This model is accompanied by a standard white LED model, a tunable model and a health care over-bed model, which provides ambient and exam lumen outputs and an optional amber night light. All four models offer Eco Mode, an optional high-efficiency disinfection source for when illumination is not required. Visa Lighting
Infection prevention
Tightly sealed
The SideBridge wall mount works with the FoamRail Span to tightly seal a dust barrier in seconds without using tape that could damage walls. The barrier keeps dust under control during remodeling, restoration and repair to aid in infection prevention and maintain air quality. The product snaps onto a FoamRail Span and holds it against a ZipWall pole closest to the wall to form a tight seal. ZipWall
Green clean
EP50 cleaner disinfectant is an oxidizing multipurpose degreaser and deodorizer, effective against herpes simplex Type 2, influenza Type A2 and HIV-1. It is designed for hard, nonporous surfaces in institutional areas like hospitals and nursing homes. Its organic ingredients are readily biodegradable in accordance with OECD 301 standard. Avmor
A clean call
PhoneSoap Med Plus uses UV-C rays to disinfect hard-to-clean, handheld devices in 30 seconds, inactivating 99.999 percent of microorganisms safely, regardless of irregular surfaces, and without risk of voiding warranties. Its indicator screen displays compliance reports, tracking what devices are cleaned to ensure patient and staff safety. PhoneSoap
Sure solution
VersaSure cleaner disinfectant wipes can be used on health care surfaces with the assurance of broad-spectrum disinfection. The low-odor, low-residue formula’s patented technology enhances quat activity to deliver broader efficacy and faster kill times without co-actives. It is EPA-registered to kill 44 pathogens in two minutes or less and is compatible with a broad range of hard surfaces. Clorox Healthcare
