According to research published by the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention\u00a0(CDC), one out of every 31 patients treated in a medical facility has a health care-associated Infection (HAI)<\/a><\/strong><\/span> \u2013 an infection acquired while treated in that facility. And the costs associated with those HAI\u2019s is huge \u2013 estimated at $28.4B in direct<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and $12.4B in indirect costs annually. While many healthcare settings use commercially available disinfectants to clean and sanitize devices, equipment, and premises, an in-house <\/span>hypochlorous water generator<\/strong><\/a> can help in that effort.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sound Business Case for Broad Scope of Use<\/strong><\/p>\n

Research<\/a><\/strong> suggests that hypochlorous water is highly effective in sanitizing healthcare and other medical settings. From nursing houses, elder care homes and senior\u2019s residences, to dental practices, hospital surgeries and chiropractic clinics \u2013 there\u2019s heightened risk in our current environment. And that\u2019s why most facilities are implementing enhanced cleaning and sanitization protocols.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"2312\"<\/span><\/p>\n

But implementing those protocols isn\u2019t cheap. An 80-percent alcohol-based, 1 gallon bottle of unscented liquid hand sanitizer, retails for approximately $26<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Even a medium-sized health care facility will likely use hundreds (if not thousands) of gallons of that product annually. And that\u2019s just a single-use (hand sanitization) application. Having in-house capability, to produce unlimited quantity of HOCL-based antimicrobial handwash, can dramatically reduce those costs.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s estimated that a <\/span>450-bed community teaching hospital<\/span> could spend as much as <\/span>$30,000<\/a><\/strong> just for<\/span> soaps, alcohol-based hand rinse, and hand antiseptic agents. <\/span>An in-house <\/span>HOCL water generator<\/strong><\/a> not only provides an always available supply of disinfectant, but it\u2019s also a practical, <\/span>inexpensive, nontoxic sanitizing agent that\u2019s also proven against the COVID-19 virus<\/a><\/strong><\/span>. Therefore, the benefit of using highly-effective, low-cost HOCL-based disinfectant, far outweighs the costs that healthcare facilities are saddled with as a result of some common HAIs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Applications and Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n

The most compelling benefit, for the use of HOCI in healthcare facilities, is that it can be produced on-premises. All it takes is combining water with non-iodinated salt, and using a simple to understand process of electrolysis.\u00a0 Today\u2019s hypochlorous water generator<\/strong><\/a> is uniquely designed to fit in, discretely, in any healthcare setting, and requires minimal footprint.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"1221\"<\/span><\/p>\n

And the disinfectant produced by these machines has wide-spread application, including:<\/span><\/p>\n

– Mouth rinse in dental clinics, with no risk of <\/span>gastrointestinal effects<\/span><\/p>\n

– To clean implant surfaces of biofilm-contaminants<\/span><\/p>\n

– Wound care<\/span><\/p>\n

– Hand sanitization<\/span><\/p>\n

– Disinfecting beds, wheelchairs, counters, table tops, shelves, and other touch-surfaces<\/span><\/p>\n

– Cleaning rooms, floors, walls, doors, curtains, room privacy dividers and partitions<\/span><\/p>\n

The use-cases listed above are typically standard procedure, applicable to most healthcare settings even in \u201cnormal\u201d times. However, in today\u2019s enhanced health care aware environment, those procedures have greater importance. Should a care facility not practice those enhanced measures, for instance due to shortage of sanitizer or disinfectant, it can lead to devastating consequences.<\/span><\/p>\n

The broad-based, and life altering application of hypochlorous water-based disinfectants<\/span>, <\/span>also means that having an inhouse <\/span>HOCL water generator<\/strong><\/a> insulates the facility from supply chain disruption risk to critical supplies. Not only does this assure unlimited supply, but it also shields care facility budgets from shortage-related price increases, price gouging, and arbitrary rate hikes.<\/span><\/p>\n
