Lake Hospital System today announced it has invested in VaproSure ^TM Room Sterilizer technology, giving the hospital system a new weapon in the war against hospital-acquired infections. Developed by STERIS Corporation -- the global leader in infection prevention and decontamination -- the VaproSure Room Sterilizer is the first product of its kind for the health care market.
Lake Hospital System is the first community hospital in the nation -- and the only hospital in Northeast Ohio -- to purchase the powerhouse piece of equipment that can reliably and safely sterilize all of the exposed surfaces in a room.
"The utilization of VaproSure technology will enable us to reduce the spread of biological contaminants and thereby more effectively protect our patients from infection," said Joyce Taylor, RN, CPHQ, chief quality officer/vice president of Quality Services for Lake Hospital System.
