CleanZ for infection prevention

Fluorescent and ATP results sit in the same record as the cleaning steps they check, with the method, the threshold and the tester kept. CleanZ supports your infection prevention program with a record you can still read correctly months later.

CleanZ is preparing its first pilots for 2027 and is looking for design partners in hospitals and other facilities. Learn about the pilot

Results beside the steps they check

Each spot-test result is added to the room's sealed record: the method, the device model, the threshold your facility set for that model, and who tested. During pilots, results are entered with a photo.

  • Fluorescent results Pilot

    Marker audit results entered with a photo, stored with the method.

  • ATP results Pilot

    An RLU reading entered with a photo, its meter model and that model's threshold.

How monitoring results are kept

The spot test is yours

In CleanZ, spot tests belong to an infection prevention role. The cleaning team never records a test of its own work, and every result shows who tested.

EVS supervisors judged 82.5% of surfaces cleaned where independent validators found 52.4%.

Two hospitals (one tertiary care centre, one community hospital) and 56 rooms matched for comparison. The widest gaps were door knobs and light switches. The finding supports having infection prevention, rather than environmental services alone, carry out the monitoring.

Protocols you can read

When a room is flagged for C. difficile, CleanZ loads the sporicidal product your facility approved, its contact time and the extra PPE, so nobody has to remember them during a busy shift.

  • Versioned cleaning checklists Pilot

    Every record names the checklist version (your protocol) in force when the work was done.

  • Product library Pilot

    The facility's approved products with their contact times and PPE.

  • Contact-time timers Pilot

    A timer tied to the approved product's own contact time starts with the step.

Coaching, not discipline

Results show how a unit's cleaning is going, and they are built for feedback to the whole team. CleanZ has no screens for scoring or ranking individual workers.

Only 47% of 1,404 high-touch objects in 157 rooms at 3 hospitals had been cleaned at baseline.

A 2006 study using an invisible fluorescent marker. Education and feedback improved it: cleaning of surfaces previously cleaned less than 85% of the time improved more than twofold. This is a baseline measurement, not a current industry average.

What CleanZ does not claim

CleanZ records whether your protocol was followed and whether results met your acceptance criteria. Your facility sets both. We won't claim any effect on infection rates until pilot data supports it.

Our claims policy

Your part in a pilot

Every design-partner pilot in a hospital or senior living has an infection prevention contact. You decide how rooms are sampled and set the acceptance criteria. These come later:

  • ATP file import Planned

    Planned: load a meter's exported result file instead of typing readings.

  • Hygiena connection Planned

    Planned: a direct connection to Hygiena meters.

  • Trends Planned

    Planned: results over time by area, shift and surface.
