UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW) selected the Spectra 1000™ to support its environmental hygiene program. The dual-action UV-C device is engineered for supplemental disinfection of hard, non-porous surfaces and ambient air in unoccupied spaces, helping reduce microbial load as part of a broader cleaning strategy.
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.
Conventional supplemental UV-C cleaning devices often demand six-figure purchase orders plus recurring service contracts—an expense profile that can bottleneck adoption and leave only a handful of devices for an entire campus.
Procurement teams face the challenge of balancing performance with operational efficiency and cost. The Spectra 1000 from Integrated UVC Solutions was designed to meet that challenge head-on—with patented dual action capabilities, simplified engineering, and a price point that enables full-facility deployment.
