Disturbing Facts:
- Every Year:
- Approximately 100,000 deaths from U.S. hospital-acquired infections (HAI's) - Forbes.
- Approximately 2,000,000 total U.S. HAI's - Forbes.
- Approximately 19,000 deaths from MRSA infections alone - CDC.
- MRSA is the most common cause of skin infections in emergency rooms - NEJM.
- Causes:
- Growth and strengthening of antibiotic resistant bacteria - Forbes.
- Fewer antibiotics developed annually - Forbes.
- MRSA and others travel airborne via dust particles - U.K. study.
- MRSA utilizes amoeba for protection, incubation and transportation.
- Current strategies have poor response rate and poor results.
- Medical Costs:
- Each HAI directly costs approximately $42,000.
- Administrative Labor.
- Capital expenditure for isolation zones.
- Added legal fees for liability protection.
- Medicare POA denial propsal.
- Loss of image and reputation.
- Mandatory hospital infection rate reporting is imminent.
- Present Methods Are Unsuccessful Due To:
- Cost in time, labor and equipment.
- Personnel training and expertise.
- Patient turnover time crunch.
- Continuous use in high risk areas.
- Quality of products...state of the art?

JYMRSA - The "Ideal" Disinfection System:
- Extremely fast acting and KILLS, doesn't simply encapsulate.
- Complete surface/air environments treated.
- Extensive on-going anti-microbial efficacy.
- Non-toxic/benign to the environment - truly "green".
- Non-corrosive to sensitive equipment.
- EPA approved.
- Large spectrum of threats destroyed:
- Bacterial Organisms
- MRSA, VISA, VRE, Pseudomonas, Salmonella, E. Coli (ESBL and 0157:H7), Klebsiella, Enterobacter, Proteus
- Virucidal
- Influenza A, Influenza B, Norovirus
- Fungicidal
- Tests show great efficacy against mycotoxins.
- Highly motivated application personnel.
- Non-disruptive to facility operations schedule.
- COST EFFECTIVE.
