Hospitals Discover New Technology to Kill Superbug MRSA

Biomist, Inc. has released its unique and newly designed surface disinfecting system to combat MRSA, Norovirus and other pathogens common to healthcare and school facilities.

Park Ridge, IL, October 25, 2007 --(PR.com)-- A critical component of any MRSA Prevention Plan is the rapid disinfection of surfaces and equipment to help prevent transmission of the disease-causing bacteria to healthy people. Contact with a contaminated object, instrument or surface is the most frequent route of transmission, and certain organisms such as Staph and MRSA can survive on exposed surfaces for extended periods of time. High touch surfaces and reusable bedside equipment should also be frequently and thoroughly disinfected.

The Biomist Power Sanitizing System propels an anti-microbial mist of concentrated alcohol with an easy point-and-spray atomizer. Alcohol’s ability to disinfect is well known, but its flammability has always made it dangerous to use. Biomist’s unique technology eliminates flammability by encasing the alcohol vapor in a stream of CO2 gas (commonly used in fire extinguishers). The swirling mist penetrates into cracks and crevices where pathogens hide, and disinfects areas beyond physical reach. Biomist Formula D2 dries rapidly, and no wiping or residual cleanup is needed.

Company spokesman Robert Cook says, “Biomist is the first line of defense in preventing the spread of bacteria and viruses through effective surface disinfection. Current surface disinfection techniques are often ineffective, utilizing a “hit or miss” approach with trigger-spray bottles and a sponge or rag wipe-down that can spread or re-introduce germs. The Biomist SS-20 Power Sanitizing System kills germs faster, more effectively, and with far less labor than any previous method. In two hours, over 4000 square feet can be sprayed without exposing patients, students or staff to dangerous chemicals, such as the chlorines, aldehydes or phenols used in common sanitation routines. MRSA isolation rooms in hospitals, emergency rooms, locker rooms, and other areas contaminated with potentially deadly microorganisms can now be thoroughly and safely disinfected.”

The patented Biomist Power Sanitizing System is registered with the FDA as a medical device, has been tested by Underwriters Laboratories, and bears the UL label of approval. Biomist Formula D2 is an EPA approved hospital grade disinfectant. The Biomist Power Sanitizing System is manufactured in the U.S.A., and Biomist, Inc. is a member of both the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC) and the American Society for Healthcare Environmental Services (ASHES).
