The Problem
According to the CDC, and all of the medical and professional journals, everyone involved in the healthcare industry, and particularly the patients, has the greatest exposure to the spread of infectious disease.
In the Centers for Disease Control bulletin titled "S. aureus and MRSA Surveillance Summary 2007", an amazing 32% of the U.S. population is colonized with Staphylococcal aureus and 0.8% are colonized with the Methycillan-resistant strain MRSA.
The rate of "healthcare-associated" MRSA infections has been on the rise from just 2% in 1974 to 64% in 2004. There are about 292,000 people hospitalized annually in the U.S. that are diagnosed as S. aureus infections, with 126,000 of those related to MRSA.

"Invasive (i.e. serious) MRSA infections occur in approximately 94,000 persons each year and are associated with approximately 19,000 deaths, about 86% are healthcare-associated and 14% are community associated."
In fact, there are a total of 1,700,000 "healthcare-associated infections" (HAIs), resulting in about 99,000 deaths per year, in the United States.
The world has also been grappling with the H1N1 pandemic, and according to a Reuters news article dated November 15, 2009, the World Health Organization (WHO) has already recorded 526,000 laboratory confirmed cases, resulting in at least 6,770 deaths, with the highest death rates among children aged 0-5, and the elderly, those aged 65 and over.
Therefore, it is clear that General Practitioners (GP), Pediatricians and Geriatric Medicine practices have the patients who are at most risk, and should strongly consider our technology to protect their facilities.

The development of new strains of disease happens with all to much frequency. The deadly "SARS" outbreak in China is still fresh on our minds, along with the far more deadly H5N1 "Avian Bird Flu", which is often fatal and is still endemic to China. In fact, Zhong Nanshan, Director of the Guangzhou Institute of Respiratory Diseases in China, cautions that because H5N1 and H1N1 are both present among the population in China there is a chance that they may mutate and combine into a new flu virus that is as deadly as H5N1 and as contagious as H1N1!
There are no janitorial protocols, cleaning solutions or air filters that can prevent the spread of infectious disease on a 24/7/365 universal basis.
We should also include the "spray on treatments" in this warning, where spraying once every 3 or 6 months by a "tech" with a "bug spray" tank/wand apparatus leaves everyone with a very false sense of security. This is because these sprays either evaporate or their efficacy is compromised within days by commonly used cleaning solutions, and they have no effect, whatsoever, on microorganisms that infect the air in the breathing space inside the facility.

The Solution
At the core of all of our air purification equipment is or exclusive "Certified Space Technology", the very same that is used by the Space Program to
scrub the air on the NASA Space Shuttles and the International Space
Station.
Our
integrated commercial-grade air purification systems have, at the core of each unit, the most
state of the art technology. Our technology has been proven, by independent
testing conducted by Kansas State University and University of
Cincinnati, to provide the greatest "Universal Precaution" against
mold, mildew, bacteria and viruses, with particular testing against Avian Bird Flu and
MRSA.

Our equipment (see 2 square devices center-left above) is installed by trained and locally licensed HVAC contractors, into the HVAC system of the facility.
It operates 24/7/365 without any necessary maintenance; just requiring the quick and easy replacement of the purifier cell every 12-18 months.
When you consider the fact that insurance carriers have reduced the premiums for liability insurance and the reduction in annual HVAC maintenance costs, the "payback period" can be as little as 1 year.
