Improve your disinfection process with SAM®

Learn more

Fast and sustainable disinfection.

SAM® disinfects the environmental surfaces in a single person hospital room within 12 minutes. Germicidal UVC is non-chemical and leaves no residue on surfaces. After disinfection, the room is immediately available for the next patient.

"Disinfecting spaces is vital for patient safety but it's demanding for our staff. SAM-UVC robots ease staff workload while advancing their skills in digitalization and robotics, crucial for operationally trained employees."
Lucia Kilkens
Facility Director, Radboudumc
“My team enjoys working with SAM as it’s easy to use and prevents them from using chemical disinfectants. I especially like the practical approach of Loop Robots”
Maarten van Zelst
Teamlead at St. Antonius Hospital
"Patient rooms must be safe and perfectly clean. Residues left by other disinfectants were causing us issues and unnecessary cleaning. SAM-UVC is also saving us money on use of chemicals and wipes, and it is more environmentally friendly"
Jeroen van Zon
Manager Hospitality & Cleaning, Spaarne Gasthuis
"After I’ve cleaned the room, I place SAM inside, and he does the rest himself. It's as easy as that!"
Kerstin
Environmental Service Worker, Spaarne Gasthuis
"Using SAM for disinfection, our sanitation team has significantly reduced its reliance on chemical agents. This is beneficial for us and the environment. SAM handles labor-intensive tasks, so we can redirect our energy towards other responsibilities."
Danny Heiming
Head of Cleaning, Radboudumc
We aim to minimize the spread of viruses and bacteria. That's why we've integrated SAM into our existing work program. This 'dry' technology also requires fewer chemical disinfectants, which is better for patients, staff, and our planet.
Simone van Rijn
Infection Control Expert, HagaZiekenhuis
"By working with SAM, we enhance the quality of our disinfection process, while relieving our employees of some of their workload and reducing the use of chemicals and disposables."
Patrick Govers
Quality & Training Officer, HagaZiekenhuis

About germicidal UVC

Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) has been employed for disinfection since the late 1800s. In 1903, Niels Ryberg Finsen was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for his use of UV light in treating diseases, especially tuberculosis.

Overcome the challenges of manual room disinfection.

Manual surface disinfection is complicated, time-consuming, error-prone, non-repeatable, and impossible to control. Chemical disinfection products are harmful to staff and the environment and pose a risk of biocide resistance.

Challenges of chemical disinfectants:

Ineffectiveness of some disinfectants against certain pathogens (e.g., C. diff. spores and Norovirus)
Toxicity to staff and the environment
Damage to hospital materials and equipment
Potential biocide/antibiotic resistance

Challenges of manual disinfection process:

Adequate distribution of the active substance
Correct contact time of the disinfectant for effective action
Replicability of the process
Compliance with protocols and policies
Insufficient time to do the job properly
Contamination of cleaning agents
