Abstract:
An apparatus is provided for controlling hospital acquired infections by targeting critical control points for pathogen transfer. An infection control apparatus comprises an asset tagging unit; a spraying unit; a power supply unit; optionally a DNA/RNA sequencing unit; and a computing unit comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with program instructions for controlling the asset tagging unit and the spraying unit to perform a method of infection control in the facility. In general, the apparatus is used to identify which assets are critical control points for pathogen transfer and to treat those assets with a residual self-sanitizing coating.

Claim (Index 16):
The infection control apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the spray module comprises a fluidic pump having an inlet and an outlet, a spray gun, a chemical supply line, and a switchable valve controlled by the program instructions, wherein the at least two tanks are in fluidic communication with the switchable valve, the switchable valve is in fluidic communication with the inlet of the fluidic pump, and the chemical supply line provides fluidic communication between the outlet of the fluidic pump and the spray gun.
