New BioQuell Robots Decontaminate Rooms at the John Hopkins Hospital
Usually when a hospital room has to be disinfected, it involves people coming in and doing the job themselves. However, the cleaners at the John Hopkins Hospital are $40,000 BioQuell robots. Their purpose is to clear out "Super Bugs." Since these abnormal bugs are resistant to normal anti-biotics, these bugs can still lurk inside hospital rooms even after human cleaners have disinfected it. Thats where these new robots come in to play. Their cleaning process involves letting Hydrogen Peroxide into the air to make condensation form. Then the Hydrogen Peroxide condensation that forms on the room's surfaces exterminates the lethal bugs. So far, over 4,000 rooms have been disinfected by these robots, and three infected rooms are cleaned each day. Thanks for reading and check out the video above to see the robot in action!
