Case Studies
Real-world results from healthcare facilities, food processing plants, and agricultural operations
AdventHealth Connerton
Challenge
AdventHealth Connerton, a 77-bed specialty hospital serving medically complex patients, needed to reduce Healthcare-Associated Infections and improve environmental quality to protect vulnerable patients.
Solution
In February 2019, AdventHealth Connerton installed 9 UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Stations at critical entry points throughout the facility to reduce pathogen spread from footwear.
Results
- 53% reduction in Healthcare-Associated Infections within one year
- Achieved 0% pathogen growth in pharmacy audit for the first time ever
- 92% employee satisfaction with the technology
"The safety of our patients is our number one priority, and we are committed to having the most advanced technology to deliver the best care possible. These sanitizing stations allow us to establish new protocols that proactively prevent infections to ensure the best possible outcomes for patients while they're in our care."
Lone Star Dairy Products
Challenge
Lone Star Dairy Products, processing over 2 million pounds of milk daily, needed to improve hygiene compliance at critical transition zones to maintain product safety and quality.
Solution
In late 2020, Lone Star Dairy adopted UVZone technology, strategically placing Shoe Sanitizing Stations at hygiene transition zones. The 8-second sanitizing cycle allowed staff to simultaneously sanitize hands and adjust protective gear.
Results
- Hygiene compliance increased from 56% (January 2021) to 96% (June 2021)
- 40% overall increase in compliance over 6-month period
- When station was temporarily removed in March, compliance dropped from 78% to 74%, demonstrating direct impact
"Lone Star Dairy Products takes the health of our colleagues and the safety of our products very seriously. The UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Stations, when strategically placed at our Canyon, Texas facility, not only provide a visual sign of safety but have helped drive measurable compliance in other activities like hand washing, taking our culture of hygiene to new levels."
