What is Cbot?
Cbot is an advanced robot designed to combat infections on surfaces and in the air within healthcare facilities. It operates using artificial intelligence and ultraviolet light (UVC) to eliminate pathogens such as bacteria and viruses. It delivers effective results in a short time without the need for chemical consumables.
Does Cbot use any chemicals or consumables? What are the operating costs?
Cbot does not require any chemicals or additional consumables for its disinfection process. The only maintenance involves replacing the UVC lamps after their lifespan of 9000 hours, equivalent to approximately 4 years of regular use, making its operating costs minimal.
Can UVC disinfection replace traditional cleaning methods?
No, UVC disinfection with Cbot is designed to complement traditional cleaning methods, not replace them. Traditional cleaning removes dirt and debris, while UVC targets the microorganisms that remain on surfaces or in the air, ensuring comprehensive hygiene.
Why is Cbot more effective than ceiling-mounted UVC lamps for disinfection?
To maximize the effectiveness of UVC technology, four key factors must be controlled:
1. The distance between the UVC source and the target area.
2. The exposure time to UVC light.
3. The dosage and intensity of UVC light.
4. Safety to ensure no human exposure to UVC light.
Traditional ceiling-mounted UVC lamps struggle to address these factors effectively. Their fixed position limits their reach, often leaving untreated shadowed areas and reducing overall disinfection efficiency. Cbot, on the other hand, is powered by a self-driving platform with AI-driven algorithms that dynamically manage these four critical factors. By autonomously navigating and adjusting its position, Cbot eliminates shadows, ensuring comprehensive UVC exposure for all surfaces. The system optimizes the distance, calculates the required dosage and intensity, and adjusts exposure time for each area, guaranteeing consistent and precise disinfection. Additionally, Cbot's advanced safety mechanisms instantly deactivate UVC light if human presence is detected, making it a safe and reliable solution. These features position Cbot as the superior choice for efficient, thorough, and safe UVC disinfection.
How long does it take for Cbot to complete a disinfection cycle?
On average, Cbot takes 7-10 minutes to disinfect a 30-square-meter room. The time may vary depending on the room's layout and furniture arrangement, as the robot is designed to adapt its disinfection process to the specific requirements of the space.
How many times should Cbot be used per day?
The frequency of Cbot's use depends on the protocols recommended by the manufacturer, aligning with the room classification and required disinfection level. For instance, the Operational Guidelines for Using UVC Disinfection Robots in Hospitals ensure the highest standards of cleanliness and safety.
How can the effectiveness of UVC disinfection be measured?
Cbot's performance and disinfection effectiveness can be evaluated using two main methods:
• During disinfection: By using UV-sensitive indicators to confirm proper dosage delivery.
• Post-disinfection: By testing microbial samples according to the BSI 8628:2022 standard issued by the British Standards Institution, ensuring compliance with international standards.
Which hospital rooms are suitable for using Cbot?
Cbot is ideal for high-priority areas in hospitals, including:
1. Operating rooms: To disinfect surfaces and reduce surgical site infections.
2. Intensive care units: To protect vulnerable patients from infections.
3. Isolation rooms: To ensure safe disinfection after occupancy.
4. Emergency rooms: To reduce cross-contamination risks.
5. Patient rooms: To thoroughly disinfect after patient discharge.
6. Laboratories: To maintain a contaminant-free work environment.
7. Neonatal units and delivery rooms: To create a safe environment for newborns.
8. Procedure rooms: For sanitizing spaces used for high-risk tasks.
9. Restrooms: To efficiently clean high-traffic areas.
10. Equipment storage rooms: To prevent contamination of sterile tools.
How long does it take to charge Cbot, and how much area can it cover on a single charge?
Cbot features a fast-charging system that allows the battery to reach 80% in 90 minutes, with a full charge taking approximately 120 minutes. On a single charge, Cbot can disinfect an area of 600 to 700 square meters, making it a practical and efficient choice for large spaces.
What infrastructure is required to operate Cbot effectively?
Cbot requires the following • A power outlet for charging. • A Wi-Fi network, which is not necessary for daily operation but is required for downloading periodic updates provided by the manufacturer to ensure new features are added.
What are the maintenance needs for Cbot?
Cbot features a flexible and easy maintenance system. Remote maintenance allows the technical support team to diagnose software issues and upload necessary updates without on-site intervention. For hardware issues, the local dealer provides the required support and can easily replace faulty components, thanks to Cbot's modular design, which allows for quick and efficient part replacement.
How is Cbot controlled and its performance monitored?
Cbot is controlled via a wireless tablet or a smartphone app, offering a user-friendly interface to monitor tasks in real time and track disinfection logs. Additionally, data can be accessed through a dedicated web platform for users.
Does Cbot require a specialist to operate?
No, Cbot operates with an advanced autonomous control system, eliminating the need for a specialist. Any trained staff member, whether from the cleaning team or nursing staff, can operate it easily through the smart control interface or by simply waiting for a task completion notification. Its design ensures efficient operation without constant human intervention, saving time and effort.
How long does staff training for Cbot take?
Comprehensive training includes 4 hours of theory and 8 hours of practical sessions to master the robot's operation.
What certifications has Cbot obtained?
Cbot has achieved several international certifications, including: BS 8628:2022, CE, And ISO-9001
What warranty services are offered for Cbot?
The company provides a comprehensive 2-year warranty for Cbot, covering maintenance and repairs for both software and hardware issues. After the warranty period, paid maintenance services are available through the technical support team or authorized local dealers.
How does Cbot ensure safety during operation?
Cbot will never operate if it detects humans in its vicinity. It uses 360-degree cameras and advanced sensors to detect motion, automatically pausing or refraining from operation to ensure no one is exposed to UVC light, making it completely safe for any environment.
Are there reference institutions that use Cbot for disinfection?
Yes, many healthcare institutions rely on Cbot for their disinfection processes. For more details, refer to the list of reference clients in the promotional brochure.
How many Cbot units does a hospital need?
The required number of Cbot depends on the hospital's size and the number of beds. For accurate calculations, it is recommended to assess the hospital's needs based on its space and bed count in collaboration with the RoboLabs team.
