  2. Purpose • Describe how SparGuard and Containment Filter Technologies products can add additional protection capability. • Determine if there is a good fit between your needs and our offerings, and if we should move forward. • Agenda: • Introduction • Product Overview • Proposed solutions / business opportunities • Questions • Next Steps

  3. Antimicrobial Technology • SparGuard protects virtually all solid surfaces and fabrics from a broad array of disease and odor causing micro-organisms, including all forms of MRSA. • SparGuard inhibits biological growth on treated surfaces for as long as 90 days. On surfaces with little or no friction the molecule will bind for years.

  4. Why Use SparGuard • Safe, effective and easy to use • Works on virtually all surfaces and fabrics • Can be mixed with other cleaning agents • Keeps laundry from spreading microorganisms • Neutralizes and prevents offensive odors • Stops mold and mildew • Cost savings • Long-lasting • Multiple application methods • EPA registered • Patented Technology

  5. Superbugs are on the rise • Infection is the #1 cause of death worldwide and the #3 cause of death in USA. • Superbug mutations caused by sterilants, chemicals. • 25 years ago, 80% of infection was controlled by antibiotics. Today, less than 50% of infections are deemed controllable. • Health problems caused by the growth of bacteria, fungi, algae, mold, and mildew in living and work areas are ever-increasing. • Mold is more lethal than asbestos and more prevalent.

  6. SparGuard - A Micro-biostatic Surface Protectant • Microbes land on the surface protectant • Microbes’ membranes are ruptured by the surface protectant and die • Surface remains poised to kill next microbe • Not a leaching poison, does not use depleting heavy metals • Continues to protect in-between cleanings • Colorless and odorless • Water-based, easy to handle and low risk for workers to use How it Works Electron Microscope View

  8. SparGuard Usage • Spray it on or wash it in. • Becomes active within 3 minutes of application and starts to work as soon as micro-organisms come into contact with the treated surface. • It then works continuously to maintain a consistently lower bio-burden than would be expected on a surface not protected by SparGuard. • Normal cleaning of the treated surfaces is necessary in order for SparGuard’santimicrobial spikes to continue their effectiveness. • Dirt build-up, paint, dead microbes, etc. can cover the treatment, preventing it from killing micro-organisms.

  9. SparGuard Laundry TreatmentSparGuardand Fabric Softener Combined • An independent, long-term hospital study showed that SparGuard reduced microbe counts in many cases by over 99% on fabrics and other surfaces (Study is available upon request.) • SparGuard has been shown to significantly reduce the staph counts and subsequent staph infections on oil rigs. • SparGuard treatment increases the longevity of fabrics, as recognized by the EPA, as it “inhibits deterioration caused by bacteria.”

  10. BioProtect 500® Laundry TreatmentBioProtect500® and Fabric Softener Combined • Items normally laundered • Fabrics that can’t be “tracked” or have high turnover • Use every wash -Add 1% of the weight of the fabric being washed. • Use in every wash and BioProtect 500® protection increases, as shown in a study (Study is available upon request.) • Only $0.02 -$.03 per pound • Items not regularly laundered and/or can’t be laundered • Curtains, room dividers, and upholstered furniture. • Fabrics that can be tracked such as an individual uniforms • One Time Usage - Add 5% of the weight of the fabric being washed. • It’s 5% active ingredient used one-time gives antimicrobial protection for the useful life of the fabric. • Only $0.10 -$0.15 per pound

  11. Case Study privacy curtains • From CBS News – Link available upon request • Scientists swabbed 43 hospital curtains twice a week for three weeks. They analyzed 180 samples, and found germs on 119. • Twenty-six percent of curtains tested positive for the potentially deadly antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria known as MRSA, and 44 percent tested positive for a form of Enterococcus bacteria - some of which were antibiotic resistant. • Researchers also placed 13 new curtains in a hospital for the study. Within a week, 12 were contaminated. • SparGuard Hospital Study Microbial Counts: • Baseline - 2/25/10 3100 • Follow-Up 3/21/10 >10 • Follow-Up 3/30/10 10 • Through June 2010 >10

  12. Disease Spreads through the air • Cardinal Health believes at least 18% of hospital-acquired infections are airborne • 2009 ASHRAE study clearly identifies a series of pathogens that move through the air and through HVAC systems • Adenovirus • Influenza virus • Rebeola virus • Meningococcal Disease • Mumps virus • Pertussis • Parvovirus B19 • Respiratory Syncitial Virus • Rubella virus • Tuberculosis

  13. Containment filter’s ability to filter virus size particles from the air • New technology – low cost clean air • New synthetic filter media with efficiencies to H.E.P.A. 99.97% @ .1 micron. • Soft flexible pad with a very low static pressure. • Easily installed and removed • Requires no retrofit to the HVAC main system. • Attach via double sided tape over every return vent. • Drastically reduces the transmission of the particles from dust to sub-micron sized particles (mold, fungi, viruses and microbes) • No capital cost for the system (cost can be transferred directly to patients) • Rough cost - between .20 cents to $2.00 dollars per 1000 square feet per day
