Tru-D SmartUVC, a PDI Solution, is a portable, automated UVC disinfection device used in health care environments to eradicate harmful pathogens, such as C. diff, MRSA and VRE.
Short for "Total Room Ultraviolet Disinfection," the Tru-D robot is the only smart UVC disinfection device on the market. The Tru-D device utilizes intuitive Sensor360 technology, which measures and ensures precise and accurate delivery of UVC light energy for terminal disinfection of health care environments.
Introduced to the health care industry in 2007, Tru-D was the first UVC disinfection device on the market. However, the technology behind Tru-D has a much richer history, as Lumalier – a company with a 50-year history in the UV germicidal industry – accumulated more than a decade of research and clinical trials on Tru-D before patents were granted.
In 2019, PDI Healthcare acquired a majority share of Tru-D SmartUVC and together, Tru-D and PDI offer a layered approach to disinfection.
Today, Tru-D continues to be the device of choice for nearly all of the existing independent research on UV disinfection technology, and Tru-D's efficacy has been supported by 20+ independent, peer-reviewed studies conducted by leading authorities in infection control and epidemiology.
Tru-D was the sole UVC device selected for a $2 million study funded by the Centers for Disease Control’s Epicenter Program study at Duke University, the University of North Carolina and eight other hospitals in the region. Tru-D’s patented Sensor360® technology, which measures the reflected UVC dose has been shown to reduce the relative risk of colonization and infection caused by epidemiologically-important pathogens among patients admitted to the same room by a cumulative 30% in hospital settings with 93% compliance of standard disinfection protocols. Individual hospital results may vary.
