FACTS<br />
Computas (https://computas.com/en/) published a report in 2015<br />
focusing on the scope and the cost of hospital infections in<br />
Norway.<br />
The report was updated in 2017. It illustrates the extent of hospital infections,<br />
their direct cost for the institutions and the potential impact of prevention<br />
and reduction of the number of hospital infections.<br />
The Computas report provides updated figures for costs associated with<br />
hospital infections and clearly demonstrates the potential savings to society<br />
when measures are implemented to reduce the number of patients who<br />
are infected.<br />
All <strong>Decon</strong>-X technology solutions are based upon research and development<br />
in Norway and the technology is produced by Tronrud Engineering<br />
at Hensmoen outside of Oslo. This ensures the highest control, quality and<br />
sustainability within production.<br />
All solutions delivered by <strong>Decon</strong>-X comes with a 10 year operational<br />

Example from Germany. The cost for treating hospital-acquired<br />
infections was € 1.3b in 2016. This is 1.2% of the annual German<br />
hospital spending.<br />
Key facts<br />
• Infection of the lower respiratory track is<br />
the most common HAI in Germany<br />
• The treatment of HAI costs around €1.3b<br />
annually (2016)<br />
• Estimated predictions indicate that approx.<br />
30% of HAI is preventable<br />
• Prevention amounts to savings of €600m<br />
per year<br />
