Indigo-Clean®
The Problem:
The Solution:
Indigo-Clean offers a solution that continuously disinfects the environment and bolsters your current infection prevention efforts.
- A ceiling light fixture that uses safe visible light to disinfect
- Proven, patented technology
- Automatically, safely and continuously kills harmful bacteria such as C.diff
- Continuously disinfects the air, and hard and soft surfaces
- Indigo-Clean continuously disinfects vs. episodic disinfection (cleaners, UV devices)
- Uses 405nm LED visible light rather than UV light
- Light is not harmful to patients or surfaces
- No special or additional training required to operate
- No consumables needed
How it works
- The 405nm emitted from Indigo-Clean reflects off of walls and surfaces, penetrating harmful micro-organisms
- The light targets naturally occurring molecules called porphyrins that exist inside bacteria. The light is absorbed and the excited molecules produce Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) inside the cell
- 405nm creates a chemical reaction inside the cell, similar to the effects of bleach
- The Reactive Oxygen Species inactivates the bacteria, preventing it from re-populating the space

Clinical Efficacy
A 12 month study conducted by Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia, Tennessee, showed a 73% reduction in SSIs (surgical site infections) over the previous year in the operating room where the Indigo‑Clean Continuous Environmental Disinfection system was installed. Study results also showed an 85% reduction in baceria in the operating room where Indigo‑Clean was used.

Impressive ROI
3-4 Months Payback
In addition to providing clinically effective care for their patients, healthcare facilities are also concerned with controlling costs. Indigo‑Clean is an ideal solution in the fight to control the rising health care costs associated with Surgical Site Infections (SSIs). The one‑time capital purchase of Indigo‑Clean by a facility is easily offset by preventing a single SSI.
