RBDS for Hospitals





Today’s hospitals are under ever increasing pressure in the fight against HAI’s, striving to ensure the best possible conditions for patients and healthcare personnel alike.

The latest scientific research provides strong evidence that C. difficile,Acinetobacter, MRSA, VRE and Norovirus are transmitted indirectly through contact with environmental surfaces (Clinical Infectious Diseases 2004;39:1182-9).

Room Bio-Decontamination Service (RBDS) is ideally suited to the modern hospital’s requirement providing rapid, flexible and residue-free bio-decontamination. We offer decontamination of entire wards, side-rooms and medical equipment eradicating all nosocomial pathogens.

Why Choose RBDS? 

Biological Efficacy: 
Hydrogen Peroxide Vapour (HPV) – the technology behind RBDS - has proven biological efficacy against a wide range of nosocomial pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), Acinetobacter baumannii and Clostridium difficile.

Electronic medical equipment:
can be difficult to clean using manually applied liquid agents but the vapour-phase nature of HPV ensures uniform bio-decontamination, penetrating difficult to reach areas. BIOQUELL has decontaminated over 100 ICUs worldwide with medical equipment in situ without any visible degradation or disruption of performance.

Minimal disruption:
Bioquell can decontaminate single ward side-rooms in less than 2 hours and entire wards in 12 hours. Although the area to be decontaminated must be vacated by staff and patients, other areas of the hospital, for example adjacent rooms, can operate as normal.

Convenient, flexible service:
Bioquell operate RBDS as a service, so you do not need to worry about training or the on-site management of the process; our highly-trained engineers will take care of that!

International experience:
RBDS has been deployed in hospitals across the globe, including in the UK, Ireland, USA, France, Germany, Belgium, Singapore and Taiwan. We have now bio-decontaminated more than 2,000 hospital rooms worldwide!
