Shine a Light on C. diff: LIV by Diversey Canada Inc. Joins the Innovation Accelerator Program

Diversey

We are pleased to introduce LIV, the C. diff Spore Light Detection System from Diversey Canada Inc., now available under Agreement #08327 through HealthPRO Canada’s Innovation Accelerator Program. 

What It Is 
LIV is a visualization system designed to detect Clostridium difficile spores on hard, non-porous surfaces in healthcare environments. Using a water-based solution containing proprietary biomolecules, a specialized light, and protective goggles, LIV allows healthcare teams to see contamination in real time, improving infection control and cleaning effectiveness. 

Why It Matters 
C. diff is a persistent healthcare-associated pathogen. LIV supports environmental services teams by identifying contaminated surfaces after routine cleaning, reducing missed contamination, and increasing cleaning efficiency. In clinical studies, LIV revealed up to 23% of surfaces remained contaminated after standard cleaning, enabling targeted re-cleaning and a 5x gain in efficiency over time. 

Whether your organization seeks to improve patient safety, enhance infection control protocols, or optimize cleaning practices, LIV provides actionable insights and proven results. 

At a Glance – Key Benefits: 

  • Visual Detection: Proprietary biomolecules illuminate C. diff spores for immediate identification 
  • Validated Performance: Sensitive and specific across multiple surface types and clinical environments 
  • Three-Step Workflow: Light → Identify → Verify to ensure complete disinfection
