Why Omnia®

A higher standard of cleanliness.

Omnia goes beyond disinfection. It empowers hospitals with actionable data insights to enhance effectiveness and improve patient outcomes.

Seamless

Thorough disinfection, even in the most hard-to-reach areas, that integrates into your cleaning routine, boosts productivity and frees up staff time for patient care.

Safe

Safety is our highest priority. Consistent, automated disinfection drastically reduces the risk of harmful infections, creating a safer environment for everyone.

Smart

Purpose-built for the demanding hospital environment. A modular design allows continuous improvement, keeping you ahead of evolving infection-control challenges.

In practice

UV-C disinfection in the patient room.

Features

What makes Omnia® state of the art.

Optimised disinfection performance

360° UV-C coverage from eight strategically placed lamps, advanced mapping for full-surface coverage, and precision cleaning as close as 15 cm, with real-time monitoring of every cycle.

Safety by design

Global compliance, premium components, fail-safe systems, superior braking and a low centre of gravity for rock-solid stability, powered by safe, long-lasting LiFePO4 batteries.

Superior manoeuvrability

A differential-drive system with 360° rotation and independent suspension navigates complex layouts smoothly, in a footprint 63% smaller than leading competitors.

Intelligent sensing & navigation

3D sensing, ultrasound and camera technology ensure accurate obstacle detection, while advanced algorithms plan efficient, collision-free routes.

Reliable performance

Up to 6 hours of operation (4 hours of active disinfection) on a high-capacity battery that fully recharges in just 4 hours, for minimal downtime.

Smart airflow & ease of use

Improves air quality around the UV-C lamps, with a modular design for easy maintenance, an intuitive interface and seamless integration into existing workflows.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

How safe is UV-C disinfection in a hospital?

UV-C is harmful to skin and eyes on direct exposure, so Omnia disinfects unoccupied rooms and is designed to keep people out of the light. It automatically switches off its UV-C lamps if it detects a person in the disinfection area, door guards secure the entrances, visual alarms show when a cycle is running, and staff start and monitor the robot remotely from a tablet outside the room. Because UV-C is chemical-free and leaves no residue, no PPE is needed after a cycle and the room can be used again straight away.

Which standards does Omnia® meet?

In a peer-reviewed study by the Institute of Biology Leiden (Infection Prevention in Practice, 2026), Omnia met the ≥5-log reduction criteria of the US EPA and BS 8628:2022. It achieved log reductions of more than 7 for E. coli, more than 5 for P. putida and more than 7 for B. subtilis. Read the study summary.

How long does a disinfection cycle take?

For a room of about 50 m²: roughly 13 minutes on Quick (10 mJ/cm²), 27 minutes on Normal (20 mJ/cm²) and 40 minutes on Deep (30 mJ/cm²). As a rule of thumb, allow about 15 seconds per m² per intensity level. Setting up the robot takes 4–7 minutes, even for a new operator.

Does Omnia® replace manual cleaning?

No. UV-C disinfects surfaces but does not remove dirt, so Omnia is used after routine cleaning as an extra, consistent layer of disinfection. It reaches the high-touch surfaces that manual cleaning often misses. Studies show around half of high-touch surfaces in operating rooms are missed by manual cleaning alone.

Where can Omnia® be used?

In patient rooms, operating theatres, ICUs, waiting areas and other hospital spaces. Omnia turns on the spot and is designed to operate in passages as narrow as 0.8 m, so it navigates furnished rooms and tight layouts on its own. Because it keeps moving during the cycle, it reduces shadow zones compared with static UV-C devices.
