Defect Rates in Touchless Versus Mechanical Hand Hygiene Dispensers.

Use disinfectants safely. Always read the label and product information before use.

In this study the defect rates in touchless and mechanical hand hygiene dispensers were investigated. The touchless (367$ per device) and mechanical dispensers (254 $ per device) were from a single manufacturer and equipped with Sterillium® classic pure. Touchless dispensers (12/44) showed a cumulative defect rate of 27 % over a median of 422 days or 6296 hand hygiene events. Mechanical dispensers (0/39) did not fail. Defects in touchless hand hygiene dispensers were mostly caused by mechanical pump malfunctions.
