Costly ‘Superbug’
One “Superbug” can cost a hospital $60,000. Researchers at Duke University found that patients required more than 3 weeks of additional hospitalization after acquiring an infection while in the hospital.
The study suggests hospital administrators and infection control personnel should use these costs to design and evaluate specific preventative interventions.
The Nephros DSU (Dual Stage Ultrafilter) is designed to filter water used in ICU’s, burn units, etc. This .005 micron filter will eliminatea variety of bacteria, parasites and fungi.
Stumble it!
