                Kirby Medical Center has added 2 new Diversey® MoonBeam™3 UV disinfection devices for use in patient rooms and operating rooms.

                September 14, 2020

                Kirby Medical Center continues to demonstrate leadership in infection prevention practices, reduce the risk of hospital-acquired infections. Our organization has added 2 new Diversey® MoonBeam™3 UV disinfection devices for use in patient rooms and operating rooms. Of course the Covid pandemic has increased the frequency of clean, it also has increased our usage of the MoonBeam .

                The Diversey® MoonBeam™3, a system that uses powerful ultraviolet (UV) technology to kill pathogens on high-touch surfaces in patient rooms, operating rooms, and bathrooms. Designed to be used in conjunction with regular cleaning and disinfection, MoonBeam™3 provides a new angle in UVC disinfection. These units have been deployed for X months.

                Kirby Medical Center has had strong infection prevention practices. With the new additions of MoonBeam™ 3, the organization can continue to improve the quality of the environment of care in our facilities.

                Following the cleaning protocol, the rooms are cleaned using the traditional processes. The staff then deploys MoonBeam for effective and chemical-free UV light energy to eradicate potential remaining hard-to-kill pathogens such as C. diff, MRSA, VRE, SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19 and more. Its three adjustable arms allow users to target the UVC dose, taking disinfection to the next level to improve patient outcomes. It is ultra-portable, fast, affordable, effective and easy-to-use.

                MoonBeam3 also incorporates a number of safety features, including infrared motion sensors, proximity sensors and a physical accelerometer, and uses its bright yellow cover as a safety cone that alerts staff and visitors to the use of the device while also acting as a remote control, starting the device from outside of the room and automatically stopping the cycle if entry or motion is detected.
