In addition to maintaining good hygiene, e.g. regular hand-washing and staying a safe distance from those infected (i.e. isolation of infected individuals);
• Plan 1: Swine flu Suspect Only: Decontamination of premises using fogging system. All Biocide, virucide and bactericide are EPA (USA) registered.
• Plan 2: Swine flu Confirmed: Decontamination of premises using fogging system. Wiping down all surfaces up to 6 ft with biocide, virucide and bactericide. All surfaces will also be treated with Aegis anti Microbial.
A six-log post-sampling test will be done to confirm that the level of microbial activity in the environment has reduced drastically.
AEGIS antimicrobial is based on the active molecule quaternary ammonium, highly-effective proven broad spectrum microbicide molecule.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has specifically identified glutaraldehyde, detergents and quaternary ammonium products as effective disinfectants against the Avian Influenza virus.
The WHO also indicates that the virus "remains viable for long periods in tissue, feces and water, but is high susceptible to disinfection."
ÆGIS is anti viral and anti microbial. Kill two birds with one stone, and get immediate and long term benefits like reduction of microbial activity and spikes in your treated indoor environment
