This peer-reviewed study evaluated the Spectra 1000 in an unoccupied ICU and surgical ward room using stainless steel carriers inoculated with MRSA, VRE, and C. difficile. The study measured irradiance, dosage, and log₁₀ reductions across different room locations and orientations, under standardized conditions.
For many hospitals, the Spectra 1000’s operating-expense framework, enables two, three, or even four times the coverage they could afford under a traditional capital-purchase model, all while freeing up cash for other priorities.
A technology upgrade is only as valuable as its day-to-day usability. The Spectra 1000’s slim stance glides through doorways and around fixed equipment, and its ≈7 lb push/pull force means most staff can position it without strain.
