Introduction
The document discusses the risks associated with reusable containers in healthcare settings and introduces touchless technology as a solution for infection prevention. It highlights the dangers of inadequate disinfection processes and the potential for infection transmission through reusable plastic or metal containers.

The Risk of Reusables
Reusable containers are used continuously, posing a significant risk of infection due to inadequate disinfection. The document notes that over 16 million people contract healthcare-associated infections (HCAIs) annually, with a mortality rate of around 6%. Pathogens like SARS-CoV-2 can survive on surfaces for extended periods, increasing the risk of transmission.
