Improve your disinfection process ​with SAM-UVC

Improve your disinfection process ​with SAM-UVC

Improve your disinfection process ​with SAM-UVC

Fast and sustainable disinfection.

SAM disinfects a single person hospital room within 12 minutes. UV-C is non-chemical and leaves no residue on surfaces. After disinfection, the room is immediately available for the next patient. 

  • "Disinfecting spaces is vital for patient safety but it's demanding for our staff. SAM-UVC robots ease staff workload while advancing their skills in digitalization and robotics, crucial for operationally trained employees."

    Lucia Kilkens

    Facility Director, Radboudumc

  • “My team enjoys working with SAM as it’s easy to use and prevents them from using chemical disinfectants. I especially like the practical approach of Loop Robots”

    Maarten van Zelst

    Teamlead at ​ St. Antonius Hospital

  • "Patient rooms must be safe and perfectly clean. Residues left by other disinfectants were causing us issues and unnecessary cleaning. SAM-UVC is also saving us money on use of chemicals and wipes, and it is more environmentally friendly"

    Jeroen van Zon

    Manager Hospitality & Cleaning, Spaarne Gasthuis

  • "After I’ve cleaned the room, I place SAM inside, and he does the rest himself. It's as easy as that!"

    Kerstin

    Environmental Service Worker, Spaarne Gasthuis

  • "Using SAM for disinfection, our sanitation team has significantly reduced its reliance on chemical agents. This is beneficial for us and the environment. SAM handles labor-intensive tasks, so we can redirect our energy towards other responsibilities."

    Danny Heiming

    Head of Cleaning, Radboudumc

  • We aim to minimize the spread of viruses and bacteria. That's why we've integrated SAM into our existing work program. This 'dry' technology also requires fewer chemical disinfectants, which is better for patients, staff, and our planet.

    Simone van Rijn

    Infection Control Expert, HagaZiekenhuis

  • "By working with SAM, we enhance the quality of our disinfection process, while relieving our employees of some of their workload and reducing the use of chemicals and disposables."

    Patrick Govers

    Quality & Training Officer, HagaZiekenhuis

  • "To prevent our patients or staff from acquiring infections, our Environmental Service Workers disinfect patient rooms using SAM-UVC."

Proven Efficacy

SAM-UVC is co-developed and clinically validated by leading academic hospitals in The Netherlands. We’re happy to share the validation study reports.

"We aim to minimize the spread of viruses and bacteria as much as possible. That's why we've integrated SAM into our existing work program for terminal room disinfection. This 'dry' technology also requires fewer chemical disinfectants, which is better for patients, staff, and our planet."

No time to wait: Securing the future from drug-resistant infections.

by Interagency Coordination Group on Antimicrobial Resistance. 2019

Drug-resistant diseases already cause at least 700,000 deaths globally a year. ​A figure that could increase to 10 million deaths globally per year by 2050 under the most alarming scenario if no action is taken.

About UV-C

About UV-C

The addition of UV-C to regular cleaning programs led to a 30% to 40% reduction in infections caused by known pathogens such as MRSA, VRE, and the Norovirus.

Overcome the challenges of manual room disinfection​.

Overcome the challenges of manual room disinfection​.

Manual surface disinfection is complicated, time-consuming, error-prone, non-repeatable, and impossible to control. Chemical disinfection products are harmful to staff & the environment and pose a risk of biocide resistance.

Regarding the disinfectant

  • Ineffectiveness of some disinfectants against certain pathogens (e.g., C. diff. spores and Norovirus)​

  • Toxicity to staff and the environment​

  • Damage to hospital materials and equipment​

  • Potential biocide/antibiotic resistance

Regarding the disinfection process:

  • Adequate distribution of the active substance​

  • Correct contact time of the disinfectant for effective action​

  • Replicability of the process​

  • Compliance with protocols and policies​

  • Insufficient time to do the job properly​

  • Contamination of cleaning agents​

  • Monitoring effectiveness

“At first employees needed to adjust to the new workflow, but now as we have been working for a longer time with SAM, It is going really well.  They enjoy working with SAM and see the added value…”
