Resurgent Changes Behavior

Improving hospital-wide hygiene compliance and reducing HAIs is Resurgent’s commitment to patient safety and to protecting healthcare workers from the dangers of infection. 

Resurgent's systems offer the first fully-automated, touchless method available for mechanical handwashing, rinsing and sanitizing for the prevention of healthcare acquired infections.  Resurgent increases compliance by making the hygiene process quick, pleasant and convenient to perform. 

The system’s automation boosts hand hygiene effectiveness by ensuring uniform handwashing technique and consistent efficacy every time the system is used.  It is also the only system that provides a powerful tool for compliance measurement through automated monitoring and reporting of handwashing events.

Mandatory HAI Reporting

Due to the increasingly high rate of hospital acquired infections throughout the United States healthcare system, the majority of state governments have either mandated or are in the process of mandating public reporting of HAIs.  APIC, the CDC, and the Consumers Union continue to push for legislation that will help reduce the risk of acquiring a nosocomial infection during hospital stays. 

Legislation varies by state, but generally either mandates the public reporting of infection rates of mandates reporting to state government.  Much of the legislation also requires hospitals to initiate total infection control and handwashing compliance systems for staff.

Testimonials

"I was compelled to take this opportunity to write you and commend you on such a fine product, the CleanTech automated hand cleansing system. As one of the institutions in which the prototype was piloted, we can attest to the transformation from such to near-perfection. It meets and exceeds our patient care needs, in terms of reducing the spread of infection, and requires virtually no maintenance."

- Eddie Rickenbacker - Principal Administrative Assoc.Intensive Care Units, Harlem Hospital Center

"I would like to take time to tell you how delighted we are with our two CleanTech automated handwashing machines. The first one we have had nearly a year and a half on our step-down unit. It is placed in a central location so that everyone, nurses, doctors, therapists, housekeeping, etc. can take advantage of it. Since installation of the machine there has been 10,146 washes recorded on the counter. Our second machine was recently installed on the Burn ICU and the staff there is just as delighted as their peers on the step-down unit. We require all visitors to wash their hands before they visit their loved ones so this machine will get plenty of use from them as well as all the healthcare personnel. To date there are 3169 washes recorded on that counter. I would gladly recommend this machine to anyone and show it off to any groups that come to visit our unit."
