Sunrise Care Center identified three C. auris-positive residents following a regional outbreak alert from the Arizona Department of Health. The facility's existing CHG wipe protocol was inadequate for achieving the residual skin concentration required to suppress C. auris shedding. The facility faced potential CMS citations and resident transfer restrictions.

The facility's existing CHG wipe protocol was inadequate for achieving the residual skin concentration required to suppress C. auris shedding. The facility faced potential CMS citations and resident transfer restrictions.
Following CDC guidance and the Gussin 2025 research, the facility implemented Bed Shower Wib for all C. auris-positive residents and high-risk contacts. The Wib's full-body CHG delivery system achieved and maintained the critical skin concentration threshold, dramatically reducing shedding during high-contact care activities.
Learn About Wib™Isolated C. auris-positive residents and implemented contact precautions per CDC guidance.
Deployed Wib systems for all positive residents and high-risk contacts within 48 hours.
Trained infection control team and nursing staff on C. auris-specific CHG bathing protocol.
Conducted weekly skin cultures to monitor C. auris colonization levels.
Expanded Wib use to all high-acuity residents as a preventive measure after outbreak resolution.
"The Gussin study was the turning point for us. We needed a system that could actually deliver the CHG concentration the science required. The Wib was the only product that could do that for bedridden residents. We went from three positive cases to zero transmission in nine months."
