You don't prevent it by a reported case of HAI and then scrubbing down the ward.
You prevent it by culturing surfaces and then treating the entire room in which those surfaces had a positively cultured pathogen.

If a hospital room reveals a superbug incidence, it should be treated until cultures turn up clean.

That treatment will, hopefully, be Asepticsure.

So Medizone, in the near future, should be culturing hospital rooms to show the need for asepticsure.
Once a hospital purchases one machine they are more likely to need more than just one.

The fines from Medicare is going to have a big effect on future sterile protocols.
