The Issue

For the past 60 years, the typical protocol for killing bacteria hasn’t changed very much. In many cases,

we are still using harmful toxic chemicals such as ammonia, chlorine bleach and peroxides to disinfect

an area. With continuous use and repackaging of these same products there is still no evidence of

residual long term antimicrobial protection. As a result hospitals are faced with the impact of the overall

costs associated with the additional protocols required to reduce and control HAI’s.

BATC Program

Bionomics I Assessment I Treatment I Certification

I II III IV This program involves the following products and procedures:

I Bionomics

Bionomics is the study of environmental conditions in buildings which can harbor bacteria and allow for cross-contamination in corporate buildings, hospitals, schools, nursing homes, transportation...just about anywhere we live, work and play.

II Assessment

A Bionomic Assessment is an evaluation performed by a professional Bactronix Specialist and is used to identify and report any risk factors that may expose individuals to dangerous pathogens such as infectious bacteria, mold, mildew and fungi. The Bionomic Specialist measures and evaluates multiple areas of a building to uncover unsafe levels of bacterial growth. Bionomic Specialists have extensive training and are certified in writing by the manufacturers of the treatment products and high tech equipment, and have a microbiology background.

Target areas for testing and measuring the bionomic condition of interior environments are:

Computer key-boards

Counter tops Desks Door handles Draperies Elevator buttons Hallway walls

HVAC systems Light Switches Rest room Stairway railings Task & lounge

seating Thermostats

Bed controls Bed linens-towels EMR computer Nurse call button Nurse station Overbed tables Patient monitors

Privacy curtains Rental equipment Scrubs/lab coats Transport gurneys Utility carts Wheel chairs

Bionomic Testing and Monitoring

Bactronix uses the ATP Detection System, the latest technology to detect and monitor harmful, microscopic organisms. ATP detection technology is used throughout the food and beverage industries, health care and pharmaceutical industries, hospitals, restaurants, supermarkets and other facilities where rapid detection of contamination is critical.

General Hospital Related

Bioluminescence is a light producing reaction when ATP comes in contact with an enzyme called “luciferase”.

Luciferase is a natural enzyme found in the common firefly, that gives the firefly it’s ability to glow

ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) is an energy molecule found in all plant, animal and microbial cells. All organic matter contains ATP, including food, bacteria, mold and other microorganisms. The detection of ATP on a surface or in water indicates the presence of biological matter that is not visible to the naked eye. ATP is detected by using “Bioluminescence Technology” measured by a luminometer.

How It Works A cotton swab is removed from a plastic applicator tube, then firmly rubbed over a patch of surface area. The cotton swab is placed back into the applicator tube where the sample is introduced to the enzyme luciferase. A gentle shaking motion activates the bioluminescence reaction process between any ATP collected and the luciferase.

Next, a luminometer reads the sample. The applicator tube containing the activated swab, is placed into a hand-held luminometer or BactroMeter. This meter measures the amount of bioluminescence generated when the energy molecule “ATP” comes in contact with the enzyme “luciferase.”

Results are measured in “Relative Light Units” (RLU), and the number is displayed on the screen. A high number means the luminometer detected a higher level of light created by a large amount of ATP. This concludes that the area sampled has a high level of contamination. A lower RLU number means a lower level of ATP and a lower level of contamination.

Bionomic Assessment Report (BAR)

The Bionomic Assessment Report (BAR) documents results and dates of tested areas in the facility. The current microbial levels, type of treatment used, and post treatment results will be color coded and the percentage of change provided. By recognizing and identifying related areas of contamination, the Bionomic Specialist provides recommendations for treatment designed to reduce and control bacteria to safe levels. It can also help make the facility safer for patients and staff. It will also help reduce costs by simplifying cleaning protocols. The written recommendation provided along with the Bionomic Assessment Report (BAR) will identify the treatment protocol by area. See sample below.

The BAR report provides a continual program of monitoring bacterial levels before and after treatments.


BactroKill - Process is applied to break down biofilm, then the pathogens protein

wall and then physically dismembers the organism into its component parts.

BactroBlock - Process provides a non-toxic, physical kill to control bacteria for

extended periods of time.

III Treatment

Two Step Bactronizing Process

The First Step — BactroKill

The BactroKill Process consists of:

A biocide that is non-toxic, stabilized in water and harmless to humans, plants, animals and the environment. It must contain a pre-set intelligence to seek out and attack bacteria through a mechanical action that physically dismembers and destroys the bacteria cell. It must also contain the properties necessary to break down and eliminate biofilm to insure a more sanitized result. The process must not produce by-products or VOC’s. (Product must be EPA registered.)

Bactronix Corp. has selected BactroKill7 as the material agent used in the BactroKill Process.

Chlorine Dioxide, the main active ingredient in BactroKill, is named “The Ideal Biocide” by Herman Sabath Ph.D. MPH CMC/CMI, a renowned microbiologist and expert in public health and indoor environments. He is the presi-dent of International Environmental Diagnostics Inc. a Global Leader in Microbial Infections and Indoor Environ-ments.

BactroKill’s proprietary action is initiated in an on demand basis which is precipitated by contact with micro-organisms or volatile organic compounds (VOC) with a total potential of 2,000 ppm. by volume. When this interaction takes place, BactroKill delivers controlled micro-bursts of chlorine dioxide directly to its target resulting in the physical destruction of the target organism or molecule. Once this result is affected, BactroKill immediately ceases its reactive process, retaining the remaining potential to address future threats.

Chlorine dioxide is clearly superior to chlorine in the destruction of spores, bacteria, fungus, viruses, phenols and other pathogens and has no distinct smell.

BactroKill does not have a noxious odor, it is non-corrosive and non-flammable. It is even able to oxidize VOC’S (Volatile Organic Compounds) and eliminate the foulest odors. It is a sporicide with a broader efficacy than traditional disinfectants, including alcohol and phenol based products.

BactroKill kills its target by mechanical action which is to say it physically disassembles vital structural compo-nents of the organism at the molecular level. This is important for two main reasons, first no organism can repro-duce or continue to function after being rendered into component parts, and second, unlike traditional disinfect-ants which are metabolic toxins, no organism can develop an immunity response to the action of BactroKill.

BactroKill has harnessed the power, efficacy and versatility of chlorine dioxide in a completely safe and shelf stable formulation. Lower dosages of chlorine dioxide achieve a more stable residual than either chlorine or ozone.

BactroKill was effective in eradicating Clostridium difficile and its spores on non-porous surfaces.2

Note: Chlorine dioxide however, reacts only with reduced sulphur compounds, secondary and tertiary amines, and some other highly reduced and reactive organics.


The Second Step — BactroBlock

The BactroBlock Process consists of: An organosilane that is also stabilized in water able to coat porous and non-porous surfaces with molecular spikes. The nano-technology physically kills bacteria that come in contact by impaling them on spikes and delivering an electric shock. The product must be capable of providing extended anti-bacterial protection over longer periods of time, typically 90 to 360 days depending on levels of cross-contamination activity. (Product is “green” and EPA registered) Bactronix Corp. has selected BactroBlock8 as the material agent used in the BactroBlock Process. The active ingredient in BactroBlock (Octadecylaminodimethyltrihydroxysilyl propyl ammonium chlo-ride) forms a colorless, odorless, positively charged polymer, which is chemically spliced to a Silane molecule. This results in a highly active molecule that has both tenacious bonding capabilities as well as excellent antimicrobial properties. It is a water based micro-biostatic agent that provides a protective coating and inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, mold, mildew and algae. These pathogens have been known to cause odors, stains and discoloration. Once applied, BactroBlock sets up molecular spikes similar to a "bed of needles." Microbes that land on this "bed of needles" are punctured, rupturing the cell wall and the microbe is electrocuted. All of this happens mechanically, so the microbe is unable to build up immunity to BactroBlock. Normal cleaning is necessary to maximize the effectiveness of BactroBlock without normal cleaning dirt and dead mi-crobes will build up a layer of film that prevents the “bed of nails” from effectively killing the microbes. PHYSICALLY – it prevents microbes from laying down an efficient covering of harmful slime. BactroBlock will safely and effectively reduce stain and odor causing bacteria, and inhibit their return for ninety days or more with just a single application.

When a microorganism comes in contact with the treated surface, the quaternary amine and carbon spikes puncture the cell membrane, and an electrical charge is delivered to kill the cell.

IV Certification Certification requires adherence to the established protocol of the BATC program and the records that are verified through Bionomic Assessment Reports.

Our health and prevention program will be warranted with a “Seal of Certification” also called BactroSeal™. The seal will be applied in a prominent place within the treated area to certify the facility has been Bactronized. The application date is posted on the BactroSeal.

Advanced Technology and Delivery System

The Bactronizing Treatment Process uses electrostatic sprayers which apply electrically charged biocide particles onto a targeted area. The 40 micron droplet size is the optimal size for biological activity. The charged particles are attracted to all areas and are able to wrap around objects. When they are applied electrostatically, entire areas are completely covered. BactroKill and BactroBlock are non-toxic, biodegradable, EPA registered solutions.

ELECTROSTATIC CHARGE

OFF ON

The photo on the left demonstrates how the charged particles are attracted to the surface of the ball. When the sprayer’s electrode is turned off, only the front surface of the ball gets coated. When the electrode is turned on, the charged particles are attracted to the entire surface of the ball, providing 100% coverage.


1 Atomized droplets pass an electrode inside the nozzle. Negatively charged electrons are attached to the droplets.

2 The droplets will reverse direction and move against gravity to coat even hidden surfaces.

3 The negatively charged droplets are carried in an air stream towards the surface. Since the surface has a natural positive charge, the droplets are magnetically attracted to the surface. The droplets follow electrical field lines and wrap around the target and bond to its surface.

Bactronizing Indoor Air

Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) is a term used to describe how polluted the air inside a confined space can affect human health. The IAQ is measured according to government guidelines (EPA) and is used as a measuring stick for the efficiency of air purification and filtration systems.

Particulate Matter (PM) is microscopic material that can be categorized as small (bacteria and mold) or large (pollen). Since PM most commonly affects people’s health, it is important to diagnose and monitor indoor air quality in order to detect the amount of the pollutant. Certified technicians utilize the Bactronizing Process to infiltrate all areas of air conditioning units and filtration systems, killing mold, mildew, bacteria, viruses and other air-borne pathogens.

One of the benefits of the Bactronizing Process is total elimination of unpleasant odors!
