The Centers of Disease Control (CDC) continues reporting on the Candida auris outbreak, a potentially deadly fungus which causes severe illness for long-term care and long-term hospitalized patients, such as those in nursing homes, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation centers, and hospitals appear to be at the highest risk per the CDC.
A study published by Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology proves pathogens spread from floors to high-touch surfaces. A systematic review in the Journal of Applied Microbiology presents a number of studies identifying shoes and floors as a potential vector for pathogen transmission.
PathO3Gen Solutions' multi-patented UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Stations, when placed in high-traffic and high-risk areas, enhance healthcare facility infection control measures, and may improve overall hospital biosafety.
The UVZone multi-patented combination of UV-C and ozone is proven 99.9993% effective -- 5.16 Log in 10 seconds and 99.9974% -4.58 Log in 8 seconds against Candida auris. The unit activates a controlled release of short-wave ultraviolet light (known as UVC) through a window of Corning® HPFS® Fused Silica(High Purity Fused Silica), transmitting the intense UV-C rays with virtually no attenuation, essential to effectiveness of the footpad, which is large enough to cover shoe soles.
Proven efficacy includes reductions up to 99.9960% for C. diff, 99.9969% for MRSA, 99.9986% for K. pneumoniae, 99.9989% for E. coli.
PathO3Gen Solutions (www.patho3gen.com) is a privately held Florida-based company holding multiple patents on its technology and equipment. Its sole mission is to create cleaner, safer environments.
