PROCEDURE 1. Preparation of Organisms and ing Surfaces Preparation of testing surface. Two types of surfaces will be prepared for the test: less Steel for MicroOne Microfiber Wipe and PVC floor for MicroOne Mop. The surface will be sterilized using Spor-Klenz disinfectant. The surface was sterilized using 3 applications of Spor-Klenz prepared as per manufacturer label recommendation for sterilization purposes (1 part of Spor-Klenz into 99 parts of Reagent Water). After disinfectant application, surface was left for 10 minutes and the following two additional applications were performed. The final cleaning was performed using sterile reagent water. 1.2 Preparation of ing Organism. (received from Microbiologics) forty (40) TSA s were inoculated with and incubated anaerobically at 30-35C for up to 7 days. Spore suspension. After incubation, using twenty (20) inoculated TSA s the suspension was prepared and heat shock was performed to eliminate the vegetative cultures. The suspension was tested using standard operation procedure for population verification. The final concentration 10E8/1ml was achieved. (See table #10)_ R of 7

3 Bacterial suspension. After incubation, using twenty (20) inoculated TSA s the suspension was prepared. The suspension was tested using standard operation procedure for population verification. The final concentration 10E8/1ml was achieved. (See table #1). 1.3 The Inoculum Preparation of Microorganisms. spore form 10 ml of 10E8 suspension was diluted 10 times using sterile Saline to achieve final concentration of 10E6-10E7/1 ml. (see Table #2) vegetative form 10 ml of 10E8 suspension was diluted 10 times using sterile Saline to achieve final concentration of 10E6-10E7/1 ml.

Contamination of the ing Surfaces using freshly prepared microorganisms suspensions. 2.1 Floor PVC floor. The contamination of the floor was accomplished by spraying the surface individually and separately with prepared microorganisms suspensions respectively until the floor surface was visually wet. After inoculation step, the surface was left for drying. The right, top area of the surface was used for positive control. The left, top area was not inoculated and was used as a negative control. 2.2 less steel. Contamination of stainless steel surface was accomplished by spraying the surface individually and separately with prepared microorganisms suspensions respectively until stainless surface was visually wet. After inoculation step, the stainless steel surface R of 7

4 was left for drying. The right, top area of the stainless steel surface was used for positive control. The left, top area was not inoculated and was used as a negative control. 3. Manual cleaning For each surface, manual cleaning by applying hand force was performed. By gentle pressing the wipe on the stainless steel surface and mop on PVC floor separately and individually, the cleaning process was performed for contaminated areas. 4. Organism Recovery from the test samples (Quantitated and Qualitated). 4.1 Floor Type PVC Floor (cleaning with MicroOne Mop). After initial inoculation of the floor surface with microorganism, individually and separately, manual cleaning using the MicroOne Mop saturated with purified water was performed per operating procedure.. The cleaning efficacy of the MicroOne Mop saturated in purified water was determined by using quantitated and qualitated test methods, and the extraction of the microorganisms from the mop using sterile reagent water and plating method. The test results from Mop and Wipe show that the removed organisms were present in the testing product and testing results are presented in the tables below. See table #3 and #4. Quantitated Method by using swabs, testing area approximately 25 sq.cm/swab (each swab will be taken from the area of 5cm x 5cm using vertical and horizontal swabbing directions) Qualitated Method by using Rodac s, testing area approximately 25 sq.cm/.

Microorganism MicroOne Wipe MicroOne Wipe Group Inoculum Results Spore form Vegetative form = 7.23 = 7.26 = 7.30 = 7.28 Survivors Reduction (% Reduction) from Wipe As per Summary Table # 7, the microbiological cleaning performance of the MicroOne Mop of the PVC floor surface and microbial contaminant is clearly demonstrated. As per Summary Table # 8, the microbiological cleaning performance of the MicroOne Wipe of the less Steel surface and microbial contaminant is clearly demonstrated. FINAL CONCLUSION The MicroOne Mop and MicroOne Wipe saturated in purified water removes the microbial contaminant (both in vegetative and spore form) with effectiveness of >99.999% (>5 log) reduction when compared to initial contamination levels. Therefore, the MicroOne Mop and MicroOne Wipe are validated to effectively clean and remove from stainless steel and vinyl surfaces. R of 7
