Every hospital has its own rhythm. Morning clinics start filling, ultrasound carts move from suite to suite, and the day’s first procedures line up before anyone has finished their first coffee. And right in the middle of that controlled chaos sits the team that carries some of the greatest responsibility in the building: Infection Prevention.
They are the ones who have to answer the questions no one else wants to ask:
Is this device truly safe? Is this process reliable? Can our workflow holdup under real clinical pressure?
So when anew technology arrives, especially one as unfamiliar as UV-C disinfection, itis completely natural for IP teams to say:
“We’re not sure we trust this yet.”
At UV Smart, we don’t push back against that hesitation. We welcome it. In fact, we’ve designed our trials around one simple principle:
The fastest way to build trust is to let Infection Prevention test the UV Smart products' ability to disinfect independently, whenever they want, without notice, and without ideal conditions.
That is why we encourage IP teams to perform their own random, unscheduled swabbing of scopes and probes during every trial and beyond. No setup. No staging. No preparation. Just real clinical workflows tested in real time, under the same pressures that challenge chemical workflows every day.
Because UV-C is not powered by perfect technique.
It’s powered by automation.
Automation Eliminates the Weak Points of Manual Reprocessing
Manual chemical disinfection is inherently variable. Soak times can be rushed, drying steps can be shortened, documentation can be incomplete, and “the perfect process” can crumble the minute a department gets busy. UV-C eliminates those weak points by removing the steps where variability hides.
There is no soak to miscalculate.
No chemical residue to rinse.
No drying time to compress.
No operator technique to perfect.
Every cycle is identical because the system handles it for you.
And this isn’t just our opinion. UV-C disinfection is now formally validated under the first official NEN standard for UV-C disinfection of non-critical and semi-critical medical devices.
This standard gives Infection Prevention the confidence of a clear, recognized framework.
But swabbing is where confidence becomes real.
Random Swabbing Is Not a Challenge. It’s Collaboration.
During a free trial, we often tell IP teams:
“Swab any probe, any cycle, at any time. Don’t tell us when you’re doing it, just test it the way you define safety.”
This isn’t a gimmick.
It’s transparency in its purest form.
Random swabs reflect the real clinical environment, interruptions, pressure, multiple users, varied workflows. UV-C’s reproducibility means that every swab, no matter when it’s taken, reflects the same validated process.
The more random the swabs, the stronger the evidence becomes.
Real Hospitals Are Already Seeing the Results
One of the most powerful ways to build trust is hearing directly from clinicians who use UV Smart in real hospitals.
In this testimonial, the Clinic Director of the ENT Department at the University Hospital Marburg shares his thoughts on how the D60 is the answer to preventing cross-contamination at hospitals:
➡️ Prof. Dr. Boris Stuck’s testimonial
Meanwhile, DSMH/Infection Prevention Specialist, Anke van Rosmalen shares her experience with the D60. As a leader that has been using the D60 since its prototype phase, her trust in the technology and products of UV Smart is a powerful reminder that the UV Smart products are validated by leaders internationally.
➡️ DSMH’s Testimonial
These teams swabbed.
They tested.
They validated the technology in their own workflows just like we encourage every IP team to do.
And because the product performs the same way every time, their trust grew cycle by cycle.
Random Swabbing Reveals What Automation Does Best
When IP teams swab a probe after UV-C disinfection, they aren’t checking whether someone followed every step perfectly. They’re checking the consistency of a validated, automated system.
Chemical workflows fluctuate based on time pressure, staffing, and human technique.
UV-C workflows do not.
Random swabbing reveals this difference instantly.
Trust Is Earned, Not Claimed
We don’t ask hospitals to trust UV-C because we say so.
We ask them to trust what their own data shows.
Swab anytime.
Test any probe.
Run your own analysis.
Validate the process with your own team.
When technology is built on automation, reproducibility, and a recognized national standard, transparency becomes your greatest strength.
And for Infection Prevention teams across Europe, that transparency has turned initial skepticism into long-term trust.
