PathO3Gen Solutions UVZone® Proven 99.9993% Effective Against Candida Auris: Shoes and Floors in Healthcare Facilities Should Be Addressed as Outbreak Continues

PathO3Gen Solutions multi-patented UVZone® shoe sanitizing technology is proven to eliminate Candida auris up to 99.9993% in 10 seconds.

A study published by Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology proves pathogens spread from floors to high-touch surfaces. A systematic review in the Journal of Applied Microbiology presents a number of studies identifying shoes and floors as a potential vector for pathogen transmission.

PathO3Gen Solutions’ multi-patented UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Stations, when placed in high-traffic and high-risk areas, enhance healthcare facility infection control measures, and may improve overall hospital biosafety.

The UVZone multi-patented combination of UV-C and ozone is proven 99.9993% effective — 5.16 Log in 10 seconds and 99.9974% -4.58 Log in 8 seconds against Candida auris. The unit activates a controlled release of short-wave ultraviolet light (known as UVC) through a window of Corning® HPFS® Fused Silica(High Purity Fused Silica), transmitting the intense UV-C rays with virtually no attenuation, essential to effectiveness of the footpad, which is large enough to cover shoe soles.

Proven efficacy includes reductions up to 99.9960% for C. diff, 99.9969% for MRSA, 99.9986% for K. pneumoniae, 99.9989% for E. coli.
