WITH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND COLD AND FLU SEASON, WE WANT OUR PATIENTS TO KNOW WE ARE WORKING HARD TO KEEP YOU SAFE.
The safety of our patients and staff is our upmost concern. Comprehensive Sleep Care Center has installed high intensity UVC Germicidal Lamps in the Heating and Air Conditioning ducts in our sleep labs and offices*. UVC Germicidal Lamps have been a trusted method for years in hospitals to help control bacteria and viruses. UVC light is the type of Ultraviolet light that is the most effective at killing germs. UVC light kills germs through damaging molecules, specifically nucleic acids and proteins. This makes the germ incapable of performing the processes that it needs to survive.
Comprehensive Sleep Care Center follows all CDC and American Academy of Sleep Medicine guidelines.
In the sleep lab, our technicians are taking extra precautions as well. Our sleep study rooms are disinfected prior to our patient’s arrival and all surfaces are disinfected before and after patient use with hospital grade germicidal cleaner. All sleep study patients are COVID tested before their sleep study.
In the morning, once a patient leaves, the rooms are sanitized once again. Not only are our techs here to help you with your sleep disorder, they’re hard at work keeping you safe during this upcoming cold and flu season!
