Monitoring cleanliness of environmental surfaces
Patients have a 50% chance of contracting a multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) if the patient room is not properly cleaned.¹ The patient care environment is full of high-touch surfaces: bed rails, tables, switches, buttons and frequently used mobile equipment. It has been clinically proven that cross-contamination from these environmental surfaces is significantly decreased with improved cleaning.² Consistent cleaning monitoring can also greatly decrease the risk of MDROs.³
ATP monitoring of high-touch surfaces in hospitals and facilities can help ensure cleanliness and reduce the transmission of infection. The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP Cleaning Monitoring System offers a rapid cleaning efficacy monitoring tool that measures cleanliness of environmental surfaces, providing peace of mind that high-touch surfaces have a reduced risk of infection transmission.

Real-Time cleaning monitoring data
-
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometer LX25 is accurate, consistent and designed to be user friendly.
The Luminometer LX25 was designed based on user feedback with new functionality, a color touchscreen and a modern ergonomic design to help support your goals for more effective cleaning processes. Whenever a reading is generated on the Luminometer LX25 in your facility, the data is captured, transmitted wirelessly (when Wi-Fi enabled) and uploaded directly for analysis. No transcription is required.
