Hospitals are generally recognised as being breeding grounds for all sorts of micro-organisms – and we use the term micro-organism in its broadest sense. The reason for this is simply due to their purpose: treating sick people.

 

RESISTANT MICRO-ORGANISM:

This has become a huge problem in many hospitals and other medical facilities. Micro-organism have become resistant to the standard chemicals used. Chlorine, quats, etc... are totally unsuitable for hospital hygiene.

FREEBAC is ideally suited as it can be used for various applications: water, surfaces, air, etc... Yet because of  the way it oxidises (ie: burns) micro-organisms they cannot become resistant to FREEBAC.

Other Medical applications:

 

DENTISTRY: dosed at 50ml/m3 water it will prevent biofilm development in the water system and keep instruments clean from micro-organisms.

FREEBAC has been used very successfully in hospitals in 4 main areas:

 

- Water treatment - Treatment of drinking water - Continual dosing of 20-50 ml/m3 will ensure that the water has an MO count of <10.

 

- Air treatment - Treatment of air-conditioning systems. Fogged regularly in the air system (preferably in combination with a UV-C system) will ensure good air hygiene.

 

- Surface treatment - Treatment of walls, floor, etc. Freebac fogged at 10% will result in a log 8 disinfection (99.999999 % kill) on all surfaces. Freebac can be fogged into a room without damage to furnishing and enabling the room to be brought back into use within 30 - 60 minutes.

 

- Equipment - Dipping utensils into Freebac will ensure a rapid and safe disinfection.
