PCT LTD Executes New Master Service Agreement for Installation of Annihilyzer® Hospital Infection Control System at Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center


LITTLE RIVER, S.C., Jan. 10, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- PCT LTD (OTC Pink: PCTL), through its operating subsidiary, Paradigm Convergence Technologies Corporation (PCT Corp), a leader in environmentally safe, non-toxic, antimicrobial solutions for infection control, secured a three-year Master Service Agreement and recently installed its Annihilyzer® Infection Control System at Carson Tahoe Regional Medical Center in Carson City, NV.  Carson Tahoe conducted in-house evaluations at their facility and produced several articles regarding the use of Hypochlorous Acid for cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in a hospital environment to reduce colony forming microorganism contamination.  Hospital Associated Infections (HAI’s) currently costs U.S. hospitals over $35 Billion in infection prevention and control programs, HAI patient treatment and other significant HAI-associated costs.

PCT’s Annihilyzer® Infection Control System is capable of onsite production of a non-harmful, Green Seal Certified tuberculocidal disinfectant that is effective against 99.9999% of organisms such as Clostridium difficile (C. diff.), MRSA, VRE, CRE, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Pseudomonas.  The Company's primary disinfecting fluid solution is effective against common healthcare pathogens such as Tuberculosis (TB), HIV-1, Hepatitis C, Norovirus, Rhinovirus, Influenza A, H1N1, Candida albicans, and more; food processing bacteria including E. coli, Listeria, and Salmonella; and organisms of veterinarian concern such as parvovirus, distemper and Bordetella.  This group was very excited about the ability to reduce Hospital Associated Infections (HAI) using a non-synthetic solution which is not harmful to patients, staff, equipment, or furniture. The ability to track the fluid’s efficacy and provide cleaning and disinfecting protocols will reduce human error and increase the effectiveness of infection prevention and disinfection programs.

Dr. Raymond Swarts, Infectious Diseases Specialist stated, "We are pleased that our Environmental Services department will have unlimited access to an environmentally friendly disinfectant with greater killing activity than bleach without the harmful side effects. This disinfectant containing Hypochlorous acid will be produced on station and its efficacy will be monitored at all times. The favorable pH monitoring will ensure its efficacy and limit any corrosive effects to hospital equipment."

Jody Read, CEO of PCT Ltd  stated, “Carson Tahoe has proven that the use of the fluids produced by PCT’s Annihilyzer System can be beneficial for reducing hospital costs associated with the spread of bacteria within a facility, reducing the opportunity for Hospital Associated Infections from surface contamination, treating more than just confined spaces without harming patients, staff, equipment, or furniture, by using a safe, non-synthetic, green product.”

The market potential of PCT’s system in hospitals is approximately 7,000 systems across the US and for Nursing Homes and Assisted Living facilities is approximately 13,600 systems.  PCT has a current sales funnel of over 30 United States hospitals in the Carolinas and the Northeast that are in active discussions with PCT about acquiring the Annihilyzer® System and Services.  This System can significantly address and reduce the problem of Hospital Acquired Infections.
