MRSA Peer-Review

Performance backed by peer-reviewed science.

Published research

More than 70% observed reduction in healthcare-associated infections.

A peer-reviewed study published in the American Journal of Infection Control examined reductions in MRSA, fungi and aerobic bacterial burden in the air and on surfaces. These changes correlated with reductions in healthcare-associated infections.

Observed results

Aggregate healthcare-associated infections

Aggregate HAI counts declined by 71% at the Louisiana site and 70% at the Kentucky site following ActivePure activation.

A. Louisiana Aggregate HAIs

Louisiana aggregate healthcare-associated infections

B. Kentucky Aggregate HAIs

Kentucky aggregate healthcare-associated infections

The study compared matched periods before and after ActivePure activation at intensive care units in Louisiana and Kentucky.

Environmental microbial burden

Reductions across the environment of care.
