Designed to support infection prevention protocols, HP’s lineup of Healthcare Edition electronic products—including the HP EliteBook 840 G6 Healthcare Edition notebook and HP EliteOne 800 G5 Healthcare Edition All-In-One—are compatible with Clorox Healthcare Bleach Germicidal Wipes.
Computers and electronic devices in healthcare settings are commonly contaminated with pathogenic microorganisms, and regular cleaning and disinfection is needed to keep them from becoming a vehicle for pathogen transmission, the companies report. However, not all equipment is designed to support daily disinfection.
“Cleaning and disinfection play a critical role in patient safety, and technology can’t be exempt from the daily practices facilities rely on to support their infection prevention protocols,” said Raja Bhadury, head of care delivery solutions at HP.
“HP Healthcare Edition products are specifically designed for healthcare environments and engineered for easy, repeatable cleaning and disinfection with germicidal wipes every shift, every day,” said Bhadury.
Clorox Healthcare’s collaboration with HP builds on a legacy of innovation in disinfectant efficacy and surface compatibility and a longstanding commitment to support safe and compliant product use, the companies report.
Meanwhile, the Clorox Healthcare Compatible program helps healthcare facilities identify cleaning and disinfecting solutions that are compatible with the surfaces and equipment they need to treat. It also helps manufacturers ensure their products support essential infection prevention protocols.
By working with manufacturers to screen a broad platform of chemistries and provide surface compatibility expertise and access to a third party lab for testing, the program helps facilities feel confident the products they use to reduce the risk of infections won’t damage surfaces and equipment. It also helps manufacturers provide the best instructions for the maintenance, cleaning, and care of their products.
“As a leading manufacturer of healthcare surface disinfectants, Clorox Healthcare continuously strives to deliver solutions that combine broad antimicrobial efficacy with the compatibility and aesthetics healthcare facilities need for consistent, compliant use,” said Amy Harmon, associate director, marketing, Clorox Healthcare.
“We believe that all products, materials, and equipment created for the healthcare environment must be designed to support patient safety and are excited to work with companies like HP who are equally committed to innovation that enhances patient safety,” said Harmon.
