Not to worry, look at the % kill rates not even close to what AsepticSure 6 log kills do...
.......
During a recent study of the HDS system at Pennsylvania Hospital, a 496-bed urban teaching hospital in Philadelphia, PA, infection control experts cut the rate of C. diff infections by 66% after deploying the HDS system in patient rooms, operating rooms and treatment areas.
In a similar study, Southwestern Vermont Medical Center experienced a period of more than 6 months without a single hospital-acquired C. diff case.
These results suggest that the system offers a comparatively simple, inexpensive way to comply with a federal mandate to reduce C. diff HAI infections 30% by 2016.

This competitive system may seem good on the surface, but I see serious problems with it.

They have no good way to safely get rid of the fog. They recommend opening windows or sucking it out through the HVAC system.

A lot of facilities have windows that don't open. Sucking it into the HVAC system only redistributes it to other rooms. Just opening the door releases the fog into the environment. They claim the fog is not safe to breath or come into contact with, recommending respirators, eye protection and gloves when entering the room after the procedure. They don't even seal the door. They give no information as to how long it would take for the fog to dissipate on its own.

What I don't understand is they have EPA approval despite these obvious safety flaws while Medizone is still jumping through hoops with a much more complete and safe process.

Also, they claim a silver compound will not affect electronics which I find questionable.

Other than that, It sure looks good.
