We will reduce your HAI rates, including
MRSA and C-Diff, by at least 50% or take our equipment
back and give you a check back for what you spent. All
we ask is that it is installed to our design specifications.
Our system does this automatically 24/7/365 with no new
labor or supplies.

The hospital industry is facing a crisis level
today with hospital associated infections referred to
as nosocomial infections. A hospital associated infection
by definition is an infection that someone contracts
while they are in the hospital whether that be for surgery
or any other stay. The portions of the hospital that
have the highest rate of HAI’s are ICU, which
is the intensive care unit, or the surgical department,
followed by long term care. The HAI most talked about
today is MRSA, methycillan resistant staph aureus. Staph
infections in hospitals have been around for many decades.
In 1972 only 2% of staph infections were drug resistant
according to the CDC. According to data provided by
the Association for Professionals in Infection Control
and Epidemiology (APIC) drug resistant staph infections
now comprise 64% of all staph infections, whether that
be MRSA or multiple drug resistant infections (a recent
phenomenon).
While we know that MRSA is the most
common healthcare-associated infection (HAI) and that
it increases not only patient morbidity and mortality
but also hospital costs, the prevalence for this MDRO
is startling to even the most veteran of infection prevention
practitioners (IPPs). Fortunately, the process by which
Antiseptic Air™ inactivates MRSA and all other
microbes will never cause resistance in the microbe
to our process. The emergence of C-Diff to infection
rates at an alarming level will require infection prevention
practitioners to rethink their hand hygiene protocol
as alcohol is ineffective against C-Diff. Hospitals
are also finding it very difficult to retrain environmental
staff to clean all exposed surfaces in a C-Diff contaminated
room with bleach at sufficient contact time levels to
completely sanitize the room.
It is time for a new high tech approach to sanitize
our medical facilities both acute and long term care.
Antiseptic Air™ is just such a new and needed
approach. We do not suggest that a facility change any
of it’s present protocols, however relying on
human perfection simply will not solve the growing crisis
of HAIs. Antiseptic Air™ PCO technology will for
the first time allow a facility a realistic chance to
virtually eliminate the spread of HAIs in their facility,
as well as help prevent the introduction of community
acquired resistant microbes from contaminating their
facility.
