Somatic Robots Give Hospitals a Clean Sweep
Did you know that pathogens such as MRSA, E. coli, and C. difficile often lurk on surfaces such as toilet handles, taps, and door knobs in clean hospital bathrooms?
Just imagine, after using a bathroom in a hospital, you wash your hands, thinking you are clean. However, unknowingly, you may have carried pathogens with you that could spread to other parts of your body and even to your food.
The common misconception…
Is to think that these germs are present because hospital janitors are terrible at their jobs.
They aren’t. Far from it.
To keep hospital toilets very clean, constant thorough cleaning is required several times a day, which can be a challenging task for a human janitor. Another issue that arises with humans cleaning bathrooms is that they cannot clean without touching the surfaces.
This means that after cleaning one dirty toilet, they tend to transfer germs to the next, and the next, and the next via contact transmission. Even though each toilet they clean appears clean, stubborn pathogens remain.
To address the needs of both constant cleaning and ‘no-touch’ cleaning, the Somatic Bathroom Cleaning Robot was created.
