STERIPLEX HC Receives EPA Registration

E.P.A. Reg. No. 84545-4
E.P.A. Est. No. 84545-UT-001

As germs like MRSA, C. diff. and anthrax become increasingly life-threatening, the war on superbugs continues as biotechnology companies from around the world race to produce products that kill germs effectively, without harming people or the environment. And while consumers become ever more aware of product safety, harsh chemical disinfectants are out; safe and effective products are definitely in.

STERIPLEX HC is a revolutionary new Sterilant/Sporicide, which has recently received Federal EPA Registration. A paradigm shift in infection control STERIPLEX HC sets new standards, killing spores in a tiny fraction of the time of competing products. Independent GLP certified laboratories have verified that STERIPLEX HC destroys the most virulent pathogens including C. sporogenes and B. subtilis spores 10 to 32 times faster than other sterilant brands. With never before seen kill times, these results are truly remarkable as virulent spores are truly some of the toughest germs to kill. A sporicide will typically destroy all other germ species as well.

STERIPLEX HC is completely non-corrosive, non-flammable and 100% biodegradable. STERIPLEX HC can be used as a semi-critical care instrument sterilant and to disinfect all hard surfaces. Competing sterilants have performance problems and/or serious corrosion and toxic side effects. Because of many adverse side effects, a commonly used sporicide was banned in Great Britain several years ago. Chlorine-based products are extremely corrosive and harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Alcohol-based products, which offer only modest antimicrobial performance, disintegrate plastics and are harmful if inhaled or swallowed.

Now consider that the new spore testing benchmarks required by the EPA to achieve sterilant (sporicidal) registration are far more rigorous today than the testing required of previously approved chemical sporicides. The new EPA spore testing protocols required STERIPLEX HC to be tested against spore concentrations of nominally 100 times previous testing levels. Even so, STERIPLEX HC passed all testing in record times. EPA Registration #84545-5 was issued to sBioMed November 2, 2009.  STERIPLEX HC is registered as a broad spectrum Sterilant/Sporicide, Tuberculocide, and Bactericide.
