BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Sept. 22, 2009 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc., (OTCBB:TOMZ) www.tomiesinc.com, the Professional Air Remediation Company, which has safely harnessed one of the most powerful disinfectants known to man; ozone, announced today that it and ADTec Technologies Inc. will conduct a live demonstration of their hospital disinfection process at a large east coast hospital tomorrow, September 23, 2009, in front of multiple healthcare group providers. The spread of airborne and surface contaminates, which can translate to hospital-acquired infections (HAI), is the leading concern of healthcare institutions. This demonstration will compare traditional methods of cleaning versus the use of TOMI's Ultra-D Room Fogger, with industrial hygienists on hand to verify and record the results.
Dr. Halden Shane, CEO of TOMI (ES) commented, "Hospital Acquired Infections kill more people annually than breast cancer, AIDS and auto accidents combined. Our Treatment of Hospitals, Clinics and Institutions is safe, easy, and effective with the use of the Ultra-D Fogger and Chamber Disinfection Systems. The Ultra-D generates activated hydroxyl free radicals to effectively kill all potentially harmful pathogens with a (>6 log) disinfectant media. We hope that this demonstration will begin the process of educating healthcare organizations as to our cost effective methods and the lives it will save."
The Ultra-D Room Fogger is quick, convenient and effective in disinfecting an entire room and all of its contents: beds, chairs, walls, laptop computers, ventilators, IV pumps, Pulse OX monitors, and any other sensitive electronics equipment.
The Ultra-D Disinfection Chamber is a pre-fabricated customizable, container which is used to Ultra-Disinfect all types of small equipment, ventilators, monitors, transport devices like wheelchairs, stretchers, bassinets or patient beds.
Magnetic Resolution Activation (MRA(TM)) is a revolutionary breakthrough disinfection process. MRA(TM) products effectively kill microorganisms, are not harmful to people or animals, non-allergic, inexpensive and convenient to use.
FACTS and FIGURES
U.S. Hospital-Acquired Infections (HAIs)
* Currently, 271 people a day - the equivalent of one airline crash - will die from healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) such as Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections. www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/87452.php * According to the Centers for Disease Control: -- About 1.7 million patients suffer annually from care-related infections -- HAIs are the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. -- HAIs will kill 99,000 people this year -- HAIs kill more people than AIDS, breast cancer and auto accidents combined. * Research shows that nearly three quarters of patients' room are contaminated with MRSA and VRE. These bacteria are on cabinets, counter tops, bedrails, bedside tables, and other surfaces. Once patients and caregivers touch these surfaces, their hands become vectors for disease. * In 1974, 2 percent of Staph infections were MRSA. By 2003, that number increased to 57 percent. www.hospitalinfection.org/ridbooklet.pdf * Hospital-acquired infections account for $30.5 billion in excess healthcare costs each year. * Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: www.cdc.gov/ncidod/dhqp/healthdis.html
