(Waukesha, WI)—January 5, 2021 – Surfacide®, the leader in hospital-grade, triple-emitter UV-C robot technology, is excited to announce they’ve moved to a larger facility in Waukesha, WI to accommodate rapid business growth at more than 500% in the past year. As we move into our new normal, germ-fighting, COVID-19 killing “robots” is being deployed everywhere from hospitals, nursing homes, restaurants, hotels, gyms to commercial office spaces, tourist attractions, and professional sports stadiums. Surfacide has been a trusted leader in UV decontamination for over ten years due to its world’s only patented Helios® Triple-Emitter System of three virus-zapping robots.

Surfacide is actively being used throughout the world in over 500 leading healthcare facilities, children’s hospitals, nursing homes, correctional facilities, dental offices, hotels, restaurants, commercial businesses and more around the world. Such facilities include the Seattle Space Needle, Beachbody Studios, Children’s Hospital of Los Angeles and locally at Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin, Froedtert Medical College—Milwaukee and Aspirus Wausau Hospital. The company’s UV-C technology is scientifically validated to inactivate coronavirus–the family of virus that make up SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19.

Surfacide’s new location is at N918 Northmound Dr., STE. 300 Waukesha, WI 53186 and the company’s new facility is more than 75,000 sq-ft, three times the size of their previous location. The company was started in a one-room office in 2010 and has experienced incredible and consistent growth every year since its inception. The expansive new building space will offer much needed space for Surfacide’s expanding team and to meet the huge increase in demand for their UV system since the pandemic hit. The facility will continue to house the company’s manufacturing and distribution arm, as well as a global training center, a state-of-the-art UV robot simulation room, conference rooms and offices.

Gunner Lyslo, Founder & CEO of Surfacide shares his excitement for the new space: “During the pandemic, we are fortunate to have grown our team and provide a proven UV-C technology that has tremendously impacted healthcare facilities, nursing homes, dental offices, and more in fighting the COVID-19 virus,” says Lyslo. “This year the importance of infection prevention has been paramount, and we expect to see that course continue in years to come. For as long as our communities need safety and protection, Surfacide will continue to evolve and be there to assist those who need it most.”

Censis now reads da Vinci QR codes to count robotic arm uses

Censis now reads da Vinci QR codes to count robotic arm uses

Censis Technologies told CtUC 2026 attendees that CensiTrac has read the QR code on da Vinci arms since April, so robotic arms carry use counts without a second mark. The session built a business case for CensiTrac Advanced around marked assembly, clinic inventory ownership and par levels, with a 2021 BMJ Quality & Safety study putting missing instruments at 17.6% of assembly defects.

  • 01CensiTrac has counted da Vinci arm uses from the code that already comes on each arm since April, with no laser or etch added.
  • 02Hospitals told Censis they want clinic inventory tracking mainly to prove sterile processing did not lose the instruments.
  • 03Missing instruments were 17.6% of assembly tray defects at a 700-bed hospital in a 2021 BMJ Quality & Safety study, a problem the presenter tied to marked assembly.

AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed approves voluntary data access best practices for medtech companies and health systems

AdvaMed's Digital Health Tech board approved voluntary Data Access Principles & Best Practices, announced October 28, setting four principles for how medtech companies and U.S. health systems share data.

  • 01The framework covers data vendors need to implement, monitor and improve technology, with expectations for transparency, stewardship and de-identification.
  • 02Watch for the first RFPs, security questionnaires or data use agreements that cite the principles by name; a voluntary document gains weight only when buyers adopt it.

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

Nearly 500 hospitals track shortage-affected segments via RFID

According to Bluesight, nearly 500 hospitals track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems. Checks of dispensing cabinets have been missing that RFID-tracked supply. Gilman argues that bringing RFID data in next to cabinet data gives more complete usage rates and days-on-hand calculations, though the gain could depend on whether systems connect at the transaction level.

  • 01During a shortage, a count that stops at the dispensing cabinet can misstate both stock on hand and usage rate, creating a false sense of urgency and wasteful emergency purchases.
  • 02RFID is no longer limited to kit and tray management: nearly 500 hospitals already track almost 4,000 shortage-affected medication segments in their RFID systems.
  • 03For operators weighing a merged feed, the key question could be whether RFID usage flows into the days-on-hand calculation at the transaction level or sits beside cabinet data as a static count.
