DHP™ Technology for Reduction of Microbial Colonization in the Hospital Setting In this study, DHP™ was incorporated into a community hospital’s 34-bed Cardiovascular/Telemetry unit’s existing HVAC system. The study was designed to answer the question: Does DHP™ reduce microbial contamination in the hospital unit? The results showed a significant reduction in microbes over seven days.…

Effectiveness of DHP™ on Reducing Environmental Microbial Bioburden Risk in a Pediatric Oncology Intensive Care Unit By analyzing surface samples from rooms in the intensive care unit before and after DHP™ was deployed, this study demonstrates that the overall mean surface microbial burden was significantly reduced. Simply put, DHP™ was proven effective and improved the…

Infection Specialists and Pharmacists Share Responsibility for Ensuring Patient Safety4 The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) has identified collaboration between infection preventionists and pharmacists as a necessary component of successful compliance with USP General Chapter <797>, the foundation of which is to prevent patient harm from microbial contamination. Dramatic advancements in environmental technologies have helped mitigate…

Clinical Study Published in American Journal of Infection Control: Evaluation of DHP™ in Reducing Microbial Bioburden in a Healthcare Facility3 Sunrise Hospital, a 762-bed acute care facility in Las Vegas, NV, conducted a study evaluating the efficacy of DHP™ Technology on microbial air and surface contamination as an adjunct to routine cleaning and disinfection. Published…

Clinical Study Published in American Journal of Infection Control: An Effective and Automated Approach for Reducing Infection Risk From Contaminated Privacy Curtains2 Privacy curtains are widely used in hospitals and healthcare spaces. Frequently touched by both providers and patients, they easily become contaminated—and are only as clean as the last time they were manually cleaned. Plus, they’re generally only changed out twice a year.  …

Treatment with Dry Hydrogen Peroxide Accelerates the Decay of Severe Acute Syndrome Coronavirus-2 on Non-porous Hard Surfaces1 An independent lab study proved that DHP™ from Synexis can significantly reduce residual, infectious SARS-CoV-2 on contaminated surfaces—and that DHP™ Technology can be considered an effective and dynamic method to reduce the presence of SARS-CoV-2 on surfaces in…

Clinical Study Published in American Journal of Infection Control: Impact of Dry Hydrogen Peroxide on Hospital-Acquired Infection at a Pediatric Oncology Hospital1 Environmental contamination plays a role in Hospital-Acquired Infection (HAI), but what happens when Dry Hydrogen Peroxide (DHP™) is used in addition to manual cleaning? This study published in AJIC describes the effect of…
