Monitoring cleanliness of environmental surfaces
Patients have a 50% chance of contracting a multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) if the patient room is not properly cleaned.¹ The patient care environment is full of high-touch surfaces: bed rails, tables, switches, buttons and frequently used mobile equipment. It has been clinically proven that cross-contamination from these environmental surfaces is significantly decreased with improved cleaning.² Consistent cleaning monitoring can also greatly decrease the risk of MDROs.³
ATP monitoring of high-touch surfaces in hospitals and facilities can help ensure cleanliness and reduce the transmission of infection. The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP Cleaning Monitoring System offers a rapid cleaning efficacy monitoring tool that measures cleanliness of environmental surfaces, providing peace of mind that high-touch surfaces have a reduced risk of infection transmission.

Real-Time cleaning monitoring data
-
The 3M™ Clean-Trace™ Luminometer LX25 is accurate, consistent and designed to be user friendly.
The Luminometer LX25 was designed based on user feedback with new functionality, a color touchscreen and a modern ergonomic design to help support your goals for more effective cleaning processes. Whenever a reading is generated on the Luminometer LX25 in your facility, the data is captured, transmitted wirelessly (when Wi-Fi enabled) and uploaded directly for analysis. No transcription is required.

3M Quality Control Data Manager turns data into valuable information to help improve cleaning practices.
Meet the database portion of the 3M™ Clean-Trace™ ATP Monitoring System—the 3M Quality Control Data Manager, or 3M QCDM. It’s an online, hosted service that allows you to review and manage your cleaning test data. Instead of relying on guesswork, you can easily (and quickly) identify weak spots, problem areas and trends—improving and streamlining your entire cleaning monitoring practice.
