Hydro AG Antibacterial Coating


Fujifilm has developed a durable antibacterial nano-coating called Hydro AG, which provides an innovative layer of protection that suppresses growth of various types of bacteria, microorganisms and mold on a detector's surfaces.


Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAI) are infections developed by patients while receiving treatment in healthcare facilities for other medical conditions. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reports that approximately 1 in 25 patients in a healthcare facility contracts at least 1 HAI during their stay.1

In an effort to help reduce the alarming rate of HAIs, Fujifilm has developed an exclusive antibacterial silver-ion coating, Hydro AG™, which provides an innovative layer of protection to suppress growth of various types of bacteria, microorganisms and mold on a detector’s surfaces. It is 99.99% effective against most common bacteria, 100 times* more effective than traditional coatings and 10,000 times* more effective than surfaces with no coating.

Hydro AG, coupled with properly followed Infection Control policies, can provide an added safety measure in preventing the colonization of bacteria on detector surfaces. This specialized coating, included on Fujifilm's FDR D-EVO II detectors and FDR AQRO mobile system, is ideal for high-risk areas such as the NICU and OR.
