Hold the front page! April 1st 2008 HYSO's automatic door handle
cleaning system made the front
page of theWall Street Journal
on 15th February 2008.And
according to the company, with
poor hand hygiene habits
prevailing, it's no wonder.
According to the American
Society f Microbiology, only 75
per cent of females and 58 per
cent of males actually wash their
hands after going to the toilet.
And the statistics are similar in
Europe.
In the UK, a recent Healthcare
Commission report showed 39
per cent of hospital staff say they
can't wash their hands every
time they need to.
The HYSO system addresses
this problem.Designed for use
on any high contact public door,
the system comprises an
automatic, battery operated
dispenser containing a canister
of EU-approved, quat-based
aerosol surface disinfectant
which kills 99.9% of a range of
bacteria inclUding E.Coli and
MRSA. At pre-set intervals a
burst of quick drying formula
cleans the handle and continues
to work between sprayings.
The company now requires
more European distributors.
