It’s always important to be mindful of germs and keep our devices clean. However, it’s especially critical now – the “tripledemic” of Covid-19, RSV, and the flu is in full swing and hospitalizations are increasing around the country. We all need to do our part to stop the spread of germs. Sanitizing phones and shared devices is a great place to start.

UVC in Healthcare

Investing in solutions that keep employees, patrons, and visitors safe is imperative for businesses. This is especially true for medical offices and hospitals. With sick patients, high traffic, and numerous shared devices, the medical field is particularly at risk.

Phones, tablets, and laptops are hotspots for bacteria, especially when there are multiple users who share laptops or tablets between shifts. UVC sanitizing, such as Power Up’s UVC Charging Cart, is a great way to stop germs that can spread from sharing these devices. Having clean, germ-free devices is essential for patients and staff alike. When devices are properly sanitized, employees can stay healthy and focus on providing care for their patients.

The Power of UVC Light

UVC light is a highly effective method of cleaning and sanitizing. As a germicidal agent, it destroys germs at the molecular level. It offers countless benefits, especially when contrasted against other cleaning methods, like wipes or sprays, which leave behind waste and are more likely to damage your expensive devices. UVC light sanitizes, without leaving behind any annoying residues or causing damage to devices. It’s cost-effective, easy to set up, and user-friendly. UVC is also approved for medical-grade cleaning. 

Power Up’s UVC Charging Cart

Power Up’s UVC Charging Cart harnesses UVC power to sanitize devices and keep them safe for use. Users simply place their phone or tablet into the cart and plug it into the charger. The UVC light will disinfect the device as it charges. It’s safe, convenient, and fast – sanitization takes as little as 5 minutes. Plus, you can set up a charging station in any high-traffic area like waiting rooms or staff lounges.

Flu season is fast approaching. Is your hospital prepared? 

Don’t neglect to sanitize an often-missed area: our devices. With patients, visitors, and staff all using devices throughout the hospital, there’s a constant influx of germs. Help combat the spread of bacteria by offering UVC sanitizing at your facility.

UVC Sanitization is Highly Beneficial for Hospitals

Did you know that viruses and other bacteria can stay on our devices for as long as 3 days? 

At any medical facility, cleanliness is critical. Hospital staff wear gloves, wipe down door knobs, and regularly clean equipment. Don’t let an unsanitized phone or tablet contaminate your facility. UVC sanitizing, like our UVC Charging Carts, allows hospital staff to clean and charge their devices––and in turn, keep your hospital and patients safer.

How Does UVC Work? 

Ultraviolet C (UVC) lights emit 254nm UV light, strong enough to kill any bacteria and viruses that might be lingering on your device. The lights are powerful enough to demolish germs at the molecular level without damaging the device. UVC is the best option, as disinfecting wipes or sprays leave an annoying residue and create waste. UVC light offers a cost-effective and convenient way to keep your hospital clean.

UVC Charging Carts

If you’re seeking the best in charging and sanitization, we recommend Power Up’s UVC Charging Cart. It provides complete UVC sanitizing within 5 minutes, meaning busy medical staff can get their important devices back quickly. It also has a convenient adjustable timer for disinfection and charging. 

Most importantly, our charging units are safe and easy to use. Each cart can charge up to 65 devices, so there’s plenty of capacity for numerous phones, tablets, and other shared devices. You can place the charging cart in break rooms, waiting rooms, or any other convenient location.

Are you looking to make enhancements around your hospital for life safety? Power Up’s UVC products and wireless charging tables qualify as life safety expenses.

Whether you’re interested in purchasing new charging units or you have existing equipment you’d like to upgrade, Power Up can help you find solutions that reduce touchpoints, utilize your life safety budget, and reduce the spread of COVID-19 in your hospital.

Reduce Touchpoints to Stop the Spread

To help combat the spread of COVID-19, hospitals and other public spaces are looking for ways to reduce touchpoints: surfaces that are frequently touched. Think doorknobs, faucets, shared pens, and similar areas or items. While some surfaces cannot be replaced, it’s important to reduce touchpoints wherever possible.

Phone charging is essential in hospitals; everyone from employees to patients and their families need access to their phones to stay connected. However, shared charging stations can become an unsanitary touchpoint. Instead of using time and resources to clean charging cables, switching them out for a non-touchpoint can be much more effective. Wireless charging is an easy swap: instead of risking germs via shared cables, users can just place their device into the wireless charging zone.

Invest in UVC Equipment For Life Safety

If your hospital is looking to invest in non-touchpoint, COVID-friendly charging solutions with your life safety budget, Power Up has some excellent choices.

Our Wireless Charging Table features three wireless charging areas, creating a non-touchpoint charging space that allows hospital staff and visitors to charge their phones without worry of bacteria build up. 

Our UVC Charging Cart is another smart option for hospitals. Users can leave their phones in one of the locker compartments and their phones will be sanitized and charged while they wait. These units are great for busy spaces, like waiting rooms, as they have high capacity and can fit many charging devices.

Upgrade Your Current Equipment

Already a Power Up customer? We can help you upgrade your current equipment with life safety enhancements. You can trade in your current unit for an upgrade that reduces touchpoints and provides additional protection against COVID-19 and other viruses.

Trade in your regular Charging Table to add additional non-touch wireless charging locations by replacing the top decal. Our Charging Locker can be upgraded to include UV light in each locker bay for extra sanitizing power.

We want to make the switch as convenient as possible, so we’re offering free delivery, installation, and removal of your old equipment. If you’d like to add or update customized branding to your equipment, this is a great opportunity to do so. We can make adjustments while we upgrade your unit.

As we navigate these difficult times together, the team at Power Up is here to support you. If you have any questions about life safety upgrades or any of our equipment, contact us today.

As a hospital or medical facility, providing your patients with quality care is your top priority. One great way to go above and beyond to create a positive experience for patients is through the power of charging.

During life’s difficult moments, no one should have to worry about their phones—we should be able to focus entirely on our health and our loved ones. Wireless bedside device charging helps patients feel more comfortable, happy, and connected during their stay.

Why is mobile charging essential?

We rely on our devices to stay connected at all times––hospital visits are no exception. Patients and visitors alike need to be able to let their families and friends know how they’re doing. The ability to check in and speak with loved ones during a hospital stay greatly improves patient comfort and fosters a more positive experience overall at your facility. Plus, these days our phones serve as more than just phones. They also hold important patient information, like symptom tracking or health history that patients may need to access during their stay.

What are the benefits of hospital bedside charging?

A low battery mobile device is an avoidable stressor during these already stressful experiences. Wireless charging ensures that patients never have to worry about their devices. Bedside charging is incredibly convenient for patients; it helps them be more independent during their stay. They won’t have to get out of bed or call for assistance to plug their phone into a wall outlet. Instead, their phone is accessible and charging comfortably within reach.

In addition to patient benefits, amenities such as beside charging can benefit your facility and employees, too by saving time and improving overall patient mood. Small touches like wireless charging will go a long way to boost patient satisfaction, helping your facility achieve higher ratings and better reviews.

At hospitals, there are many situations in which we rely on our phones and devices to stay connected and calm, like calling loved ones to provide updates, passing time while awaiting results, or sharing good news with family members. A depleted cell phone battery can add unnecessary stress to an already difficult situation. But in these moments, remembering to bring a charger and charge our phones is probably the last thing on our minds.

PowerUp charging stations provide a convenient solution, making it easy for patients, visitors and staff members to charge their devices, so that we can all focus on what matters most. Adding a charging station to a waiting room, lobby, or another convenient location can help keep things running smoothly at hospitals.

Supporting Staff Members

For staff members who need their phones, tablets and other devices accessible and ready to go throughout the day, a charging cart provides peace of mind. The PowerUp UVC Disinfection Charging Cart is a great option for hospital staff. It provides secure, reliable charging and sanitizing for dozens of devices at a time—no adapters necessary. Devices can simply be plugged into the cart and will continue to be powered until fully charged. The carts can also be enclosed with a lock for secure storage, which is great for break rooms or areas where employees might want to leave their devices during the day.

Safety For Visitors and Patients

Installing separate charging solutions for visitors, patients and employees can also be a good option for hospitals. A strategically placed charging unit, like the PowerUp Pure Zone Charging Tower, can be helpful in many ways, including safety. One key concern is crowded hallways, which can impede traffic flow and even create safety hazards. If a charging tower is accessible and available for visitor use in waiting rooms, it keeps people away from wall outlets and safely out of the way.

If frantic visitors or patients are struggling with dead devices, they might require assistance to find an outlet, taking up hospital staff members’ valuable time. By setting up a designated, easy-to-find charging location with a charging tower, everyone can know exactly where to charge their devices, providing comfort for visitors and patients and allowing employees to focus on giving care. Best of all, the PowerUp Pure Zone Charging Tower is coated with antimicrobial film, helping to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other pathogens.

Charging units are a fantastic way for hospitals to demonstrate willingness to go the extra mile to provide a comfortable, compassionate environment for their patients, visitors and staff members.
