Xenex Disinfection Services has exported its Germ-Zapping Robots to hospitals in Spain and Portugal under a new agreement with Clece, Spain’s leading health care cleaning and maintenance service company.
Clece will use Xenex’s products to disinfect rooms at Vall d’Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona and Ramón y Cajal in Madrid.
Hospital officials in Europe, like their counterparts in America, are working to reduce the number of healthcare-associated infections in patients that are caused by bacteria like Clostridium difficile, Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacteriaceae.
Xenex’s products emit a high intensity ultraviolet light that destroys bacteria, viruses and spores.
San Antonio-based Xenex’s machines are currently in use at 300 hospitals, Veterans Affairs, Department of Defense, skilled nursing facilities, ambulatory surgery centers and long-term acute care facilities in the United States.
