Just the Facts! This is a reminder of how much the AsepticSure™ sterilization system is needed in hospitals. I wanted to take a detailed look at the recent Duke University Study on MRSA.
Monday’s Medizone Press Release noted that the AsepticSure™ system is capable of decontamination to the previously unobtainable 6 log standard on all hospital surfaces, hard or soft. This incredible kill rate included fabric in addition to porcelain, formica and stainless steel.
The cost-saving potential for community hospitals is enormous based on the recent Duke University Medical Center Report which undeniably indicates MRSA leads to staggering expenses for surgical patients.
The study conducted a multi-center study of multiple surgical procedure types among 659 patients to determine clinical and financial outcomes of surgical site infections that are directly attributable to MRSA (methicillin-resistant Stapylococcus aureus). The impact of methicillin-resistance on surgical patients was found to be substantial, preventing a single case of surgical site infection due to MRSA can potentially save hospitals as much as $60,000 per case.
This is a dream scenario for MZEI.
Deverick J. Anderson, M.D., MPH, an infectious diseases specialist at Duke University Medical Center was the lead author of the study.
The study concluded that given the estimated cost of one MRSA case, a $60,000 intervention to prevent even one of these infections would be cost-effective for an institution.
The study noted: With this new financial data, greater emphasis should be placed on an effort to design and evaluate specific preventative interventions.
For the seven hospitals examined the total estimated cost resulting from surgical site infections due to MRSA was more than $19 million.
