1 FAR-UV STERILRAY Health & Wellness in the Medical Field

2 THE FACTS: 1 out of 20 admissions will develop a Hospital Acquired Infection (HAI) 1 out of 50 surgeries will result in a Surgical Site Infection (SSI), making it the most common HAI 4 out of 1,000 patients spending one day hospitalized will acquire C. Diff Colitis, making it the second most common HAI Information provided by the Center for Medicare + Medicaid and Reimbursement in the Diagnostic Related Group (DRG)

3 COST of Treating HAI s Type Cost/Patient Annual Cost Surgical Site Infections (SSI) $25, 546 $ Billion (inpatient services incl.) Blood Source Infection $36,441 $590M Billion C Diff Colitis (non-surgical) $5,000- $7,179 $ Billion Ventilator associated Pneumonia $9,969 $780M- 1.5 Billion Catheter associated UTI $758 $ Million

4 The Costs Continued Overall cost of HAI s to U.S. Hospitals, based on direct costs and total inpatient costs, ranges from $ billion/year* Benefits of prevention range from $ billion annually with effective infection control interventions in place* *Adjusting 2007 dollars using the Consumer Price Index for inpatient hospital services Information provided by the Center for Medicare + Medicaid and Reimbursement in the Diagnostic Related Group (DRG)

5 Far-UV STERILRAY products WILL increase the effectiveness of your infection control program, resulting in a significant decrease in HAI s and costs incurred by the hospital and patients. Prevention is preferable to cure. -Hippocrates, Hippocratic Oath

6 Far-UV Sterilray Disinfects & Sterilizes (to %) Far-UV Sterilray is a new technology that is up to 10-1,000 times more effective than the germicidal UV-C- 254 nanometer(nm). What it does- Far-UV Sterilray beams shatter the DNA structure of targeted micro-organisms in MRSA, VRE, Klebsiella, Ebola, C. diff spores, viruses as well as mold, fungus and others.

7 Far-UV Sterilray Far-UV Sterilray is a patented technology that uses the 222 nm wavelength at 100mj/cm 2 to kill pathogens in two ways: 1. Destroys the hydrogen bonding in DNA, resulting in misreading during replication, translation and transcription. 2. Breaks up the pathogen's cell wall, effectively killing the organisms instantly.

8 Far-UV Sterilray vs. Bacillus Atrophaeus Far-UV Sterilray is breaking bonds and killing pathogens Side wall ruptures and the separation of its parts is caused by an explosive force of high-energy photons Jan University of New Hampshire

9 The Far-UV Sterilray Advantage Far-UV Sterilray takes seconds to kill pathogens compared to the 20 minutes it takes UV-C to be effective. Instantly ready for use without the need for warm up time Wide operating temperature range; variable power capability Long lamp life because it does not use electrodes Lamps contain no hazardous materials ie: mercury Not harmful to humans and is safe to be in its presence

10 Additional Advantages of Far-UV Sterilray Dry, chemical free disinfection. Residue free No breakdown or fading of rubber or plastic items. Easy to operate without need for educational training/experience Easy to disinfect personal items before and during work such as cell phones.

11 Applications of Far-UV Sterilray In Hospitals Disinfects non-critical items frequently passed from person to person. Quickly disinfects items prior to use in critical care situations. Disinfects charts, TV TV remotes, beds, call buttons, blood pressure cuffs, O 2 finger monitors, phones and more.

22 The Pathogen Reduction Box (PRB) using Far-UV Sterilray technology was tested in a clinical setting for its effectiveness against MRSA, VRE, and C. difficile. * 20 Remote controls were disinfected using the PRB for 60 seconds without adjusting the positioning of the remote control in the PRB. * 20 Remote controls were sampled for MRSA, VRE, C.Diff, and total bacteria before and after PRB treatment. INDEPENDENT LAB RESULTS Results: A 10 fold reduction of bacteria on remote control surfaces. The largest reduction in the smallest amount of time was Clean HA MRSA at 5 seconds of FAR-UV+ exposure with kills of 4 log. Complete HA MRSA eradication was accomplished in the trials. This correlates to a greater than 98% reduction in aerobic bacteria; limited only by the amount of bacteria on the controls. Lab studies show that the PRB is capable of reducing 4 logs of MRSA or more.
