Quality
hand hygiene is imperative for optimal contamination control practices in
cleanroom environments. For 20 years, the
company has manufactured CleanTech® automated hand washing systems used in
pharmaceutical production, sterile environments, healthcare, and cleanroom
manufacturing. The systems help maintain
a low level of environmental pollutants in critical working areas. They remove dangerous
particles, pathogens and other contaminants from bare or gloved hands. They are
more effective than manual hand washing in eliminating cross contamination,
ensuring safety, and promoting product reliability. The systems perform a
fully-automated 12-second wash, sanitize and rinse cycle — eliminating harmful
contaminants from hands and gloves. They
remove up to 95 percent of particles 0.3 microns and larger, eliminate 70
percent of sodium chloride from hands, and are DI water compatible. The green technology uses 75 percent less
water and produces 75 percent less waste than manual hand washing and is
acceptable for all cleanroom classifications. By making hand washing quick, easy
and enjoyable, the system increases hand-hygiene compliance up to 400 percent
while improving skin quality and obtaining a residual antimicrobial effect up
to 6 hours.
