This new point of care reprocessing method involves a manual cleaning step, using reusable microfibre cloths in combination with hypochlorous acid, followed by an automated cycle in a UV-C decontamination chamber known as ‘Whitebox’. This chamber uses new generation LED technology and is the first of its type to achieve compliance to BS8628:2022. Compliance to this standard was verified in a UKAS accredited laboratory as the first stage of the evidence process.

Whitebox-HD2 is a range of high-level disinfection equipment that uses LED technology, and is the first of its type to achieve compliance to the BS8628:2022 UV-C surface disinfection standard. The miniaturized LED technology has made this possible in a compact, point of care form due to the small light sources, which are used with highly reflective materials that magnify the radiation, increasing the UV-C dose on the surface to be treated. LED technology is rapidly gaining in efficiency, and this project will allow the latest generation devices to be realized, resulting in a 70% reduction in processing cycle time.

The National Clinical Guideline for Stroke was recently updated to recommend a minimum of 3 hours of therapy 5 days per week. Last year's national stroke audit found that patients received on average 22.5 minutes of therapy daily. Rewire aims to address this deficit with a dynamic exercise programme, generated following a brief video-guided assessment. The app also tracks mood, fatigue and pain to address the psychological component of stroke.
