Bacteria and other harmful pathogens pose a serious risk to those being bathed in a health care setting. These pathogens can come from the surfaces of improperly cleaned and disinfected bathing equipment or “cross-contamination,” and from the residents themselves, or “self-infection”. Apollo, with its Remedy® ultraviolet light water purification system is the only bathing system manufacturer that can address both of these issues.
Swab samples taken after a series of baths indicated that bathing systems equipped with the Remedy® UV system and cleaned with Apollo’s Turbo Clean™ bathing system cleaner and detergent cultured approximately one-third fewer colony forming units than other brands of tubs that had been chemically disinfected.
Similarly, while no other bathing system on the market can address the self-infection issue, Apollo systems equipped with the Remedy® UV system can kill up to 99.9% of the bacteria that get released into the water during the bath. Exposure to fewer harmful pathogens translates into a healthier resident population with fewer urinary tract and respiratory infections.
Apollo has been the industry leader and champion of innovation in bathing systems, infection control and skincare for over 40 years, serving the needs of Long Term Care and Senior Care professionals while delighting their residents.
