Hydroxyl UV Lamp Efficacy Summary<\/h2>\n

CETEC & Doherty Institute<\/strong> \u2014 Independent antimicrobial efficacy testing for surfaces and air<\/p>\n

1. Credibility of Testing Facilities<\/h3>\n

CETEC Pty Ltd (Australia)<\/strong> is an established scientific consulting laboratory specializing in air quality, microbiology, and environmental chemistry and conducted surface efficacy testing using internationally recognized standards including ASTM E2197-17 and AOAC Hard Surface Carrier Test Methods.<\/p>\n

Analytical MicroLabs<\/strong>, accredited to ISO\/IEC 17025, performed microbial enumeration, quantification, and verification of surface kill results for both bacteria and viruses.<\/p>\n

The Doherty Institute (University of Melbourne & Royal Melbourne Hospital)<\/strong> is a world-leading infectious disease research institute. SARS-CoV-2 efficacy testing was conducted under BSL-3 containment using the VIC01 clinical isolate, under the supervision of Dr. Julie McAuley and Prof. Damian Purcell.<\/p>\n

2. Description of Tests Performed<\/h3>\n

The OH-Feel Hydroxyl UV Lamp Module was evaluated for its ability to inactivate microorganisms both in the air and on hard surfaces.<\/p>\n

Organisms tested:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa<\/li>\n
  • Staphylococcus aureus<\/li>\n
  • Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1)<\/li>\n
  • SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Testing included contaminated hard-surface carriers, exposure periods of 30, 60, 120, and 240 minutes, microbial enumeration before and after exposure, and airborne viral exposure trials conducted at the Doherty Institute.<\/p>\n

    A key scientific finding demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals cascaded outward from the lamp and deposited onto surfaces, producing high log-kill results and confirming that the technology actively sanitizes surfaces in addition to treating air.<\/p>\n

    3. Surface Efficacy Results<\/h3>\n

    Pseudomonas aeruginosa (hard surfaces):<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • 10-log reduction at 30 minutes<\/li>\n
    • 10-log reduction at 60 minutes<\/li>\n
    • 9-log reduction at 120 minutes<\/li>\n
    • 11-log reduction at 240 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      A 10-log reduction corresponds to 99.99999999% microbial elimination, representing essentially complete sterilization.<\/p>\n

      Staphylococcus aureus (hard surfaces):<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      • 9-log reduction at 30 minutes<\/li>\n
      • 10-log reduction at 60 minutes<\/li>\n
      • 9-log reduction at 120 minutes<\/li>\n
      • 9-log reduction at 240 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        These results represent hospital-grade sterilization performance.<\/p>\n

        HSV-1 (Herpes Simplex Virus):<\/strong><\/p>\n

          \n
        • 5-log reduction at 30 minutes<\/li>\n
        • 5-log reduction at 60 minutes<\/li>\n
        • 4\u20136-log reduction at 120 minutes<\/li>\n
        • 3\u20134-log reduction at 240 minutes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          4. SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Viral Efficacy \u2014 Doherty Institute<\/h3>\n
            \n
          • Statistically significant viral reduction detected within 30 minutes<\/li>\n
          • Approximately 99.2% reduction (\u22482.1-log) after 90 minutes<\/li>\n
          • All testing conducted in BSL-3 containment using the VIC01 SARS-CoV-2 isolate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            This represents one of the strongest and most credible SARS-CoV-2 efficacy validations currently available in the hydroxyl technology field.<\/p>\n

            5. Summary Statement<\/h3>\n

            Independent testing conducted by CETEC, Analytical MicroLabs, and the Doherty Institute confirms up to 11-log bacterial kill on hard surfaces, up to 6-log viral kill on surfaces, strong airborne SARS-CoV-2 reduction validated by a world-class research institute, and continuous dispersion of hydroxyl radicals that contact surfaces and inactivate pathogens safely.<\/p>\n

            Testing Period:<\/strong> July\u2013August 2020<\/p>\n
