🚑 How Clean Are Ambulances? 🚑
Ambulances are the frontline of emergency care, transporting patients who often carry invisible threats—pathogens that can linger on high-touch surfaces and put patients and EMS professionals at risk.
Kismet Technologies recently conducted a study to address this critical issue, testing an innovative solution that could redefine ambulance sanitation. During the monthlong study using Kismet Clean Spray-on Film, there was an 80% to 90% reduction of aerobic bacteria on treated surfaces as compared with the control using the current cleaning protocol. Here’s what we discovered in our research and study:
🔹 Ambulances frequently transport patients from facilities where 35% of individuals carry multi-drug-resistant pathogens.
🔹 Up to 50% of these carriers are unaware, increasing the risk of cross-contamination.
🔹 High-touch surfaces in ambulances, such as equipment handles and workspaces, are hotspots for bacteria and require more effective cleaning solutions.
🔹 Using Kismet Clean weekly reduced bacteria by 80% to 90% on high-touch surfaces.
