BIO-LUMINAIREby COCO Lighting

Antimicrobial protection by COCO Lighting

Healthcare, food preparation and high dependence areas often have high levels ofhuman traffic operating 24/7. Both lighting efficiency and maintaining hygiene aretwo important factors to be considered.

With this in mind we have designed, developed and tested a new range of antimicrobialluminaires to not only help reduce the levels of bacteria but also offer you guaranteedperformance and reliability.

Light fixtures are often overlooked due to inaccessible high ceilings and walls but canhowever, still harbour harmful bacteria. In replacing your existing lighting with our luminaires you can cut energy consumption and lighting maintenance costs by up to70-80%, as well as help reduce the levels of bacteria.

Campylobacter from the gut of poultry is known

to contaminate environments where poultry are

found. Chicken transportation crates are often

contaminated by Campylobacter and act as a vector

of transmission, passing the bacteria between

unrelated ocks. This transmission is believed to

contribute to the continued source of infection and

contamination in the poultry industry.

Aim

This study was carried out to investigate the e ect

BioCote® had on the number of Campylobacter

contaminating chicken transportation crates.

It compared the total number of bacteria, including

Campylobacter, contaminating the BioCote® treated

crates to standard, untreated crates at key stages

of the decontamination process: pre-wash e.g.

immediately before entering the decontamination

process postwash post sanitisation and one two

Campylobacter is the most commonly reported cause of food poisoning in England

and Wales, with undercooked meat, particularly poultry being a major source of

human illness.

July 2009 saw the beginning of the most recent global H1N1 in uenza pandemic with around 30,000 con rmed cases reported in 74 countries, although uncon rmed cases make this outbreak undoubtedly more signi cant. The economic impact of in uenza can be huge; the World Health Organisation estimated an H1N1 pandemic could cost the UK economy over £70 billion so a measure with the potential to limit the spread of viral infection is worthy of including in an infection control strategy. The evidence described here suggests the application of BioCote® antiviral technology has the potential to

AimTo understand how e ective BioCote® approved silver ion antimicrobial technology is against in uenza A H1N1 virus when incorporated into various manufacturing materials.MethodKnown amounts of infectious H1N1 virus were added to the surface of a variety of materials commonly used for manufacturing that contained BioCote® approved antimicrobial silver ions; speci cally acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), polyvinyl chloride

Outbreaks of in uenza caused by the H1N1 virus are a repeated threat. The contagious

H1N1 virus spreads e ectively between people and, due to widespread international

travel, between countries.

As a result, a wide range of infection control products and technologies are available on the market, including antimicrobial technology.BioCote Ltd works with equipment manufacturers, engineering silver ion technology into a variety of healthcare related products, helping them to resist the growth of bacteria and mould on their surface. Silver is an ideal antimicrobial agent because it has a high e�cacy against a wide range of medically-important rg nd ded t x

S.aureus greater than 99%, compared with untreated samples.The aim of this study was to determine to what degree this high level of antimicrobial e�cacy could be achieved in a real-life hospital environment.StudyTwo outpatient units provided the environments for this 18 month pilot study. Unit A was refurbished with BioCote® treated products including blinds,

The control of healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) remains a challenge for healthcare providers. This involves employing a combination of infection prevention and control strategies, including hand hygiene, cleaning, training and the adoption of new technologies, to tackle the problem.

Like in hospital settings, outbreaks of MRSA and other

harmful bacteria are a continuous threat. Nursing home

acquired infection is complex with a range of contributing

factors including chronic illnesses, recent hospital admission,

the presence of healthcare workers, care provided by family

members and the use of antibiotics.The introduction of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and

the Care Quality Commission has lead to health and social

care establishments implementing infection control strategies

aimed at breaking the chain of cross-contamination between

sources of harmful bacteria and patients.

StudyDuring refurbishment of a nursing home in Leicester, one

residence, comprising of a bedroom and bathroom was

re tted with a range of BioCote® treated antimicrobial

products (Unit A) and another with untreated, comparable

products, to serve as the control (Unit B). Both units were

occupied by single residents for the length of the study and

were cleaned by nursing home sta on a daily basis.Swabs were collected from treated and untreated surfaces

located in the bedroom and bathroom of each unit over a

ve month period. They were processed for total counts of

bacteria and results expressed as average counts of colony

The role of nursing homes has expanded in recent years as a result of a growing elderly

population, a consequential rise in chronic geriatric conditions and a shift of care delivery

from the acute to residential setting.

How effective is Bio-Luminaire against day to day bacteria?Magnified laboratory results below clearlyshow the effectiveness of the antimicrobialproperties of the Bio-Luminaire range. The BioCote® technology contained

in our antimicrobial range is basedon natural silver. Silver is an extremelyeffective and proven antimicrobialthat once manufactured into theproduct, makes our range inherentlymore hygienic for their lifetime.

Antimicrobial silver has been usedthroughout the ages and today isemployed in many markets such ashealthcare, food & beverage, andwater treament, as well as other applications.

BioCote® is a safe, effective, longterm,reliable and safe solution for the Bio-Luminaire range.
