1 The Portable Germ and Odor Annihilator

2 Introducing the FirstResponder Sterilizer The FirstResponder Sterilizer from Genlantis is a patented*, simple, effective, portable sterilization device that completely removes infectious organisms from both surfaces and air. Destroys over 650 Pathogens including MRSA, C. Difficile, Norovirus, TB, Flu, etc... Eliminates disgusting vomit and bacterial odors. Keeps our First Responders and their families safe from potentially deadly infections. Dramatically reduces sick time benefits and saves money in Police, Fire and EMS budgets. The FirstResponder Sterilizer generates ozone gas/silver ions which eliminates both harmful contaminants and unpleasant odors from the following sources post routine cleanup: - Vomit Blood Feces Urine Saliva Semen - Skin cells Hair Sneezing Coughing Parasites - Award Wining Technology - Giving our First Responders the best tools for safety *Patent # US 9,623,140 B2 EPA Registered 918-CA-001 CE Certified

3 How FirstResponder Works The FirstResponder Sterilizer produces high levels of Ozone Gas/Silver Ions that can reach every cubic inch within a police vehicle, ambulance, fire and rescue vehicles. After the Ozone/Silver Ion fumigation cycle finishes, the patented FirstResponder Scrubber Technology removes all Ozone Gas/Silver Ions safely within minutes allowing faster access to the sterilized vehicle. Simply place in vehicle, turn it on and come back in minutes... No need for harsh chemicals and other cleaning tools. A green solution to sterilization. The Ozone-Oxygen-Ozone Cycle Explained STEP 1 Oxygen molecule (O2) STEP 2 The applied energy splits the oxygen molecule (O2) into atomic oxygen (O1) STEP 3 The single atomic oxygen (O1) connects to an oxygen molecule (O2) and ozone (O3) is formed STEP 4 The single atomic oxygen (O1) disconnects from the ozone molecule (O3) and performs oxidation STEP 5 The ozone molecule (O3) has turned into an oxygen molecule (O2). The cycle is completed Why Ozone The Oxygen atoms from Ozone readily bonds and oxidizes to infectious microbes such as viruses, bacteria, fungus, prions, etc. This bond causes the organism s cell walls and viral coats to rupture, leading to rapid destruction of the microbes. Highly efficient most powerful known natural oxidant Capable of destroying a wide range of pathogens, without the need for handling hazardous chemicals. High reactivity of ozone means it can be quickly converted back to oxygen through a simple catalytic reaction. Ozone is a clean and green sterilizer. No toxic chemical residue left on surfaces.

4 Applications The FirstResponder Sterilizer may be used effectively for many applications including: Sterilization of EMS Vehicles (Ambulance, Police and Fire) Contained Law Enforcement Rooms (Holding Cells) Public Transportation Vehicles Locker Rooms Restrooms Disinfection Clean Safety Scrubber Effective Practical Efficient The winning point is with blood and other bodily fluids, they can get into a lot of places we can t see or might miss during the initial cleaning. Chad Panke AMR, Regional Director Eco-friendly

5 Testing and Efficacy Via a certified environmental consulting expert and a third party independent testing laboratory (Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc., Golden, Colorado). Results showed dramatic reduction in species-specific bacterial contaminants. Samples were taken from 12 discreet locations inside an ambulance and immediately sent on ice to testing laboratory. 99 % Reduction in Bacilluss species 100% Reduction in Coag-negative Staphylococcus, Pseudomonas straminea and Roseomonas cervicalis Please visit for test protocols and more information on results Partial List of Contaminants Destroyed by the FirstResponder Technology Bacteria Achromobacter butyri NCI9404 Aeromonas harveyi NC-2 Aeromonas salmonicida NC1102 Bacillus anthracis Bacillus cereus Bacillus coagulans Bacillus globigii Bacillus licheniformis Bacillus megaterium sp.

6 I don t know why any EMS agency, transport or first response, would not want equipment that will kill % of the microbes in a response/transport vehicle. It s a relatively cost-effective solution to an age old problem. Randy Lauer AMR, Regional Director 6044 Cornerstone Court West, Building E San Diego, CA
