Frequently Asked Questions
Does Washsmart processing of Sharpsmarts eliminate HAI organisms including C. difficile?
Yes. Sharpsmart's Washsmart process has been repeatedly verified by independent testing labs to exceed CDC’s decontamination requirements. By utilising physical, chemical and thermal means, it removes a 6‐Log challenge‐suspension of vegetative pathogens including S. aureus, E. faecalis, and mycobacteria, and a 4.4 log challenge of C. difficile spores. These densities exceed those found in patient‐room environments.
