Healthcare Associated Infections (HCAI) and hospital hygiene are rarely far from the government and media spotlight. Being able to demonstrate the highest possible standards of hospital hygiene has never been so important. We offer a practical, innovative solution to help you meet your targets.

3M™ Clean-Trace™ Hygiene Management Solution

The Clean-Trace Hygiene Management Solution (HMS) represents a cost-effective solution which supports the focus on improved quality of cleanliness and hygiene management in healthcare settings.

The solution helps assess standards of hygiene and the effectiveness of cleaning procedures by measuring the amount of adenosine tri-phosphate (ATP) in a sample, for a fuller picture of the hygienic status of surfaces and equipment.

3M™ Clean-Trace™ Clinical Hygiene Monitoring System

The Clean-Trace HMS combines all of the recognised benefits of using ATP hygiene monitoring with the added convenience of automated online trend analysis and report generation and delivery. Offering the flexibility to scale up as hygiene plans evolve, it includes:

  • 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Clinical ATP Swabs
  • 3M™ Clean-Trace™ NGi Luminometer & Docking Station
  • 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Online Reporting System
  • 3M service and support
