Orbio® os3 MultiMicro™ Overview, United States EPA Standards
Summary: MultiMicro Concentrate, diluted to a ready-to-use (RTU) solution called MultiMicro 200, is effective as a one-step cleaner-disinfectant (broad-spectrum and hospital-grade) with a contact time of 10 minutes, a food contact surface sanitizer with a contact time of one minute, and a non-food contact surface sanitizer with a contact time of five minutes. One solution meets the United States EPA standards for efficacy in all three categories at the same concentration – 200 ppm free available chlorine (FAC). Produced as a concentrate by the Orbio os3 generator and diluted to its RTU format by the os3 dispenser or an Orbio satellite dispensing system, the solution is effective against a wide variety of microorganisms, including bacteria, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
Efficacy Claims
MultiMicro 200 is an effective food contact and non-food contact surface sanitizer as well as a one-step cleaner-disinfectant at the same 200 ppm FAC concentration. Efficacy testing has been performed using the procedures in accordance with EPA-registered disinfectants and sanitizers. Testing of MultiMicro 200 has been performed by a third party laboratory under good laboratory practice (GLP) regulations1.
In order to establish efficacy claims as a one-step cleaner-disinfectant, a defined amount of organic soil must be incorporated into the test protocols. All disinfectant efficacy tests were passed in the presence of 5% organic soil, supporting the claim of MultiMicro 200 as a cleaner-disinfectant under EPA regulatory guidelines.
Stability Overview
Independent testing has established the length of time that MultiMicro 200 solution remains effective after it is dispensed from the os3 system or an Orbio satellite system. When held in a closed container at the RTU concentration of 200 ppm FAC, MultiMicro 200 solution has a shelf life of seven days. All closed containers should be emptied after seven days and refilled from the os3 system or Orbio satellite system.
The os3 generator creates and holds a concentrated form of solution called MultiMicro Concentrate. MultiMicro Concentrate is held in the os3 generator until it is dispensed in RTU form or transferred into Orbio transport containers for use with the Orbio satellite system.
The MultiMicro Concentrate was tested separately for stability, and found to remain stable for a period of 30 days inside the os3 generator tank or in transport containers. To ensure proper concentration levels, 1 At 200 ppm FAC, MultiMicro 200 is effective as a broad-spectrum and hospital-grade cleaner-disinfectant on hard non-porous surfaces based on EPA-approved AOAC methods 955.15, 964.02, and 955.14. In addition, MultiMicro 200 satisfied the testing requirements for claims of sanitization of food contact and non-food contact surfaces using AOAC-approved methods that most closely approximate the intended use of MultiMicro 200, e.g. applications that include delivery by a coarse spray, mop and bucket and other appropriate systems.

the MultiMicro™ tank in the os3 generator must be evacuated at least every 30 days. The os3 system will automatically generate new solution.
If a transport container of MultiMicro Concentrate is not completely used within 30 days, the Orbio satellite system dispenser should be used to empty the transport container, and the solution should be discarded down a standard drain. The container can then be filled with fresh MultiMicro Concentrate from the os3 generator. os3 System Overview
The os3 system2, from Orbio Technologies, a Tennant Company group, includes a generator, water softener, and dispenser. It can be expanded with the addition of optional Orbio satellite systems that allow MultiMicro Concentrate to be transported to remote locations within a facility, diluted, and dispensed using processes that are very similar to those used to distribute conventional chemical concentrates throughout a facility.
Through electrolysis, the os3 generator uses salt, softened water and electricity to produce two solutions – free available chlorine, in the form of hypochlorous acid (HOCl), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). During the electrolytic process, softened tap water and a salt brine solution are passed into two chambers of an electrolytic cell, separated by an ion exchange membrane. A low voltage is applied to an anode (positive) and a cathode (negative) in the cell. Positive ions Na+ and H+ are attracted to the cathode, creating NaOH, an effective cleaning solution. Negative ions Cl- and OH- are attracted to the anode, creating HOCl, an effective antimicrobial solution. These concentrated solutions are held inside separate tanks in the os3 generator until they are diluted with softened water and dispensed as RTU solutions through the os3 dispenser. Throughout the process, critical characteristics such as current, voltage, pH, flow rates, etc., are monitored to produce a consistent output.
MultiMicro 200, the HOCl solution produced by the os3 system, is a single solution that can be used as both a cleaner-disinfectant with a 10-minute contact time as well as a surface sanitizer (food contact, one-minute contact time, and non-food contact, five-minute contact time) on hard non-porous surfaces such as glass, metal, ceramic, laminate painted and other surfaces. MultiMicro 200 can be delivered as a coarse spray through spray bottles, or used in mop buckets, flat microfiber mop systems and other equipment.
The NaOH solution produced by the os3 system, called MultiSurface Cleaner in its RTU form, is an effective cleaner of organic fats and soils on a wide range of surfaces including glass, metal, sealed concrete and stone, ceramic, laminate, plastic, various hard floor surfaces, and carpets including wool and advanced-generation synthetic carpets. It can replace conventional all-purpose cleaners, stainless steel cleaners, glass cleaners in spray bottles, mop buckets, flat microfiber mop systems, and chemicals used in automatic floor and carpet cleaning equipment.
2 The os3 system is regulated as a pesticide device manufactured at EPA establishment number 090643-KY-0001.

Regarding the use of Orbio technology and ECAS Chemicals not listed on the EPA N list: Multi Micro™ 200 solution is produced by the Orbio® os3 system. It can be used as both a one-step cleaner-disinfectant as well as a surface sanitizer (food contact and non-food contact). The os3 system is an EPA regulated pesticide device manufactured at an EPA registered establishment (EPA Est no. 090643-KY-001). https://www3.epa.gov/pesticides/chem_search/ppls/090643-00001-20170413.pdf Products listed on the EPA’s List N meet the below criteria; although they have not been tested against Sars-CoV-2, the cause of Covid-19, they are expected to kill the virus because they either:
A) Demonstrate efficacy against a harder to kill Virus; or B) Demonstrate efficacy against another type of human coronavirus similar to SARS-CoV-2 https://www.epa.gov/coronavirus/how-does-epa-know-products-list-n-work-sars-cov-2
Orbio® has an EPA registered claim against harder-to-kill virus than SARS-CoV-2, with a kill claim against small non-enveloped virus such as Rhinovirus; SARS-Cov-2 being an enveloped virus is one of the easiest type of viruses to kill. This can be found in Section II of the below link. The Product eligibility Guidelines outlined in Section 3 of the same document would support the effectiveness of MM200 as a sanitizer/disinfectant against SARS-CoV-2.

Hypochlorous Acid: A ReviewMichael S. Block, DMD,* and Brian G. Rowan, DMD, MDy
The surgeon needs to have an inexpensive, available, nontoxic, and practical disinfectant that is effective
in sanitizing against the COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019) virus. The purpose of this article was toreview the evidence for using hypochlorous acid in the office setting on a daily basis. The method used
to assemble recommendations was a review of the literature including evidence for this solution when
used in different locations and industries other than the oral-maxillofacial clinic facility. The results indi-
cate that this material can be used with a high predictability for disinfecting against the COVID-19 (Coro-
navirus Disease 2019) virus.

COVID-19 (Coronavirus Disease 2019)Virus Structure and Mechanism ofInfection
Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a novel virus.
It causes severe acute respiratory syndrome. Severe
acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-
CoV-2) is the agent responsible for a surface-to-surface communicable disease that had infected
approximately 4.7 million persons as of May 17,
2020.1 Health care providers need options to limit
and control the spread of the virus between them-
selves and patients.
COVID-19 is an enveloped, positive-sense, single-
stranded RNA virus approximately 60 to 140 nm in
diameter. The virus’s Spike glycoprotein S1 firmlybinds to the angiotensin converting enzyme 2
(ACE2) receptor, which allows entry into the host
cell.2-4 COVID-19 infection creates a cytokine storm,
severe pneumonia, multiple-organ failure, and acute
cardiac injury.5,6
Transmission occurs through touch or aerosol
spreading of the virus. A commonpathway of spreading
this virus is through respiratory aerosols from an in-fected person.7 During speech, humans emit thousands
of oral fluid droplets per second that can remain
airborne for 8 to 14 minutes.8 COVID-19 is detectable
for up to 3 hours in surface aerosols, for up to 4 hours
on copper, for up to 24 hours on cardboard, and for
up to 2 to 3 days on plastic and stainless steel.9,10 There
is a need to disinfect surfaces potentially exposed toCOVID-19 to prevent transmission.
Use of Disinfectants
On contact with the virus, a disinfectant agent
changes the protective protein coat, which loses its
structure and aggregates, forming clumps of proteinswith other viruses.9,10 Currently, the US Environ-
mental Protection Agency has recommended
numerous disinfectants against COVID-19 including
hypochlorous acid (HOCl).11 The mechanism of disin-
fection involves the destroying of the cell wall of mi-
crobes or viruses, allowing the disinfectant to
destroy or inactivate them.12-27 This article focuses
on HOCl.
Hypochlorous Acid
An ideal disinfectant and sanitizer must be nontoxic
to surface contact, noncorrosive, effective in various
forms, and relatively inexpensive. HOCl may be the
disinfectant of choice for coronaviruses in an oral-
maxillofacial surgery (OMS) office.HOCl is an endogenous substance in all mammals
and is effective against a broad range of microorgan-
isms. Neutrophils, eosinophils, mononuclear phago-
cytes, and B lymphocytes produce HOCl in response

to injury and infection through the mitochondrial
membrane–bound enzyme known as ‘‘respiratory
burst nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate
oxidase.’’28 HOCl selectively binds with the unsatu-
rated lipid layer and subsequently disrupts cellular
integrity. Between pH levels of 3 and 6, the predomi-
nant species is HOCl that has maximal antimicrobial
properties.29,30
HOCl is a powerful oxidizing agent. In aqueous solu-
tion, it dissociates into H+ and OCl–, denaturing and
aggregating proteins.30 HOCl also destroys viruses by
chlorination by forming chloramines and nitrogen-
centered radicals, resulting in single- as well as
double-stranded DNA breaks, rendering the nucleic
acid useless and the virus harmless.31
HOW IS HOCl MADE?
HOCl can be made on-site combining non-iodinated
salt, water, and electrolysis. The system to make HOCl
on-site is a 1-L container that is filled with water, to
which 1 g of non-iodized salt and 1 teaspoon of vinegar
are added. The systemhas the ability tomake concentra-
tions of 50 to200ppm(inwhich1ppm is equal to 1mg/
L) depending on its use, which is chosen by pressing abutton on the instrument. The electrolyzed solution is
completed in 8 minutes, when it is ready for use.
The parameters that contribute to HOCl’s efficacy as
a disinfectant include contact time and concentra-
tion.32-34 The method of application also will affect
its efficacy to disinfect.
STABILITY OF SOLUTION
Rossi-Fedele et al35 investigated the shelf life of
HOCl by being either exposed to or protected from
sunlight. When the HOCl solution was exposed to sun-
light, the chlorine reduction started on day 4. When it
was sheltered from sunlight, the chlorine reduction
started after day 14. The half-life increases with
decreasing pH owing to the decreasing ratio of OCl–to
HOCl.36 The parts per million (ppm) is the concentra-tion of the –OCl, which is the active ingredient and is
known as the available free chlorine (AFC) in the
solution. HOCl solutions are less stable when exposed
to UV radiation, sunlight, or contact with air or when
the temperature of the solution is elevated greater
than 25�C. HOCl solutions should be stored in cool,
dark places, and contact with air should be minimized.
The water for fabrication should be water that con-tains organic and inorganic ion concentrations that
are as small as possible.37-40
CONCENTRATION RELATED TO TIME NEEDED FORVIRUCIDAL ACTION
HOCl has been shown to inactivate a variety of vi-
ruses including coronaviruses in less than 1 minute.39
At a concentration of 200 ppm, HOCl is effective in
decontaminating inert surfaces carrying noroviruses
and other enteric viruses in a 1-minute contact
time. When diluted 10-fold, HOCl solutions at
20 ppm were still effective in decontaminating envi-
ronmental surfaces carrying viruses in a 10-minute
contact time.40
Recommendations for Office Use
IMPORTANCE OF AEROSOL SIZE TO DISINFECTIONAND APPLICATION
Individuals working in the dental and medical field
using surgical and high-speed handpieces are at risk
from aerosolization. Aerosols are defined as particles
less than 50 mm in diameter. Particles of this size aresmall enough to stay airborne for an extended period
before they settle on environmental surfaces or enter
the respiratory tract.41,42 Additionally, a true aerosol
or droplet nuclei may be present in the air of the oper-
atory for up to 30 minutes after a procedure.41
Particles are classified based on size: Coarse parti-
cles measure 2.5 to 10 mm; fine particles, 0.1 mm to
less than 2.5 mm; and ultrafine particles, less than0.1 mm. The nose typically filters air particles larger
than 10 mm. If a particle is smaller than 10 mm, it
can enter the respiratory system. If smaller than
2.5 mm, it can enter the alveoli. A particle smaller
than 0.1 mm, or an ultrafine particle, such as the
COVID-19 virus, can enter the bloodstream or target
the lungs.
Sotiriou et al42 showed that the concentrations ofsmall particles (<0.5 mm) generated during dental dril-
ling procedures weremuch higher than the concentra-
tions of larger particles (>1 mm). Ultrasonic and sonic
transmission during nonsurgical procedures had the
highest incidence of particle transmission, followed
by air polishing, air-water syringe, and high-speed
handpiece aerosolization.43 One study found that ul-
trasonic instrumentation can transmit 100,000 mi-crobes/ft3 with aerosolization of up to 6 ft and, if
improper air current is present, microbes can last any-
where from 35 minutes to 17 hours.44
MOUTH RINSE
If HOCl is used as a mouth rinse, one must assume
that a portion of the rinse will be swallowed. The sys-
temic and gastrointestinal effects of ingesting HOCl,
from the perspective of its use in mouthwash, was
evaluated in an animal study.45 Seventeen mice weregiven free access to HOCl water as drinking water.
No abnormal findings were observed in terms of visual
inspections of the oral cavity, histopathologic tests, or
measurements of surface enamel roughness, showing
no systemic effect.
1.e2 HYPOCHLOROUS ACID
OTHER CLINICAL APPLICATIONS
Ophthalmology
HOCl is used in the treatment of blepharitis by
reducing the bacterial load on the surface of the peri-
ocular skin. Twenty minutes after application of a sa-
line hygiene solution containing HOCl at 100 ppm, a
greater than 99% reduction in the staphylococcal
load was achieved.46
Biofilm
HOCl may be effective for cleaning biofilm-
contaminated implant surfaces. HOCl significantly
lowered the lipopolysaccharide concentration of
Porphyromonas gingivalis when compared with so-
dium hypochlorite and chlorhexidine and was well
tolerated by the oral tissues.47 HOCl significantlyreduced bacteria on toothbrushes; it was effective as
a mouthwash and for toothbrush disinfection.48
Wound Care
In a clinical study on intraperitoneal wound care, pa-
tients underwent lavage of the peritoneal cavity with
100-ppm HOCl and washing of the wound with
200 ppm.49 No adverse effects were observed.HOCl has been shown to be an effective agent in
reducing wound bacterial counts in open wounds.50
In irrigation solution in an ultrasonic system, HOCl
lowered the bacterial counts by 4 to 6 logs. By the
time of definitive closure, the bacterial counts
were back up to 105 for the saline solution–
irrigated control wounds but remained at 102 or
lower for the HOCl-irrigated wounds. Postoperativeclosure failure occurred in more than 80% of pa-
tients in the saline solution group versus 25% of
those in the HOCl group.
Hand Sanitizing
Hand antiseptics are alcohol based or non–alcohol
based containing antibiotic compounds.51 Chlorine-
based sanitizers, at a concentration of 50 to100 ppm, are effective against bacteria and viruses.52
HOCl specifically used for hand sanitizers is effective
at 100- to 200-ppm strengths.53,54
Surface Application
A study looked at disinfecting outpatient surgi-
cal centers using HOCl.55 After cleaning, the
rooms in the HOCl cleaning and disinfection studyarm had significantly lower bacterial counts than
the rooms that underwent standard cleaning and
disinfection.
HOCl Applied by Spray or Fogger
A fogger takes a solution and creates a small aerosol
mist, ideally less than 20 mm in size, to disinfect an
area. HOCl fogs are highly effective in the microbial
disinfection of surfaces. The fogging process can alter
the physical and chemical properties of the disinfec-
tant. It was found that fogging reduced the AFC con-
centration by approximately 70% and increased the
pH by approximately 1.3, making the solution slightly
more basic; it is speculated that the loss of chlorine re-
sulted from evaporation of chlorine gas.56,57 Becausethe changes in the properties of hypochlorous fogs
are predictable, pre-fogging adjustment of the concen-
tration and pH of the solution makes it possible to con-
trol the concentration levels to the desirable range to
inactivate pathogens after fogging.40 When the appro-
priate concentrations are used, a study found 3 to 5
log10 reductions in both the infectivity and RNA titers
of all tested viruses on both vertical and horizontal sur-faces, suggesting that fogging is an effective approach
to reduce viruses on surfaces.40,58
HOCl solutions appear to be virucidal based on con-
centrations above 50 ppm. HOCl was evaluated
against a low-pathogenic avian influenza virus (AIV),
H7N1.59 The HOCl solutions contained 50-, 100-, and
200-ppm chlorine at pH 6. Spraying with HOCl
decreased the AIV titer to an undetectable level(<2.5 log10TCID50/mL) within 5 seconds, with the
exception of the 50-ppm solution harvested after
spraying at a distance of 30 cm. When HOCl solutions
were sprayed directly onto sheets containing the virus
for 10 seconds, the solutions of 100 and 200 ppm inac-
tivated AIV immediately. The 50-ppm solution
required at least 3 minutes of contact time. These
data suggest that HOCl can be used in spray form toinactivate AIV.59,60 When the aerosol was not sprayed
directly onto an inoculated surface, a lower amount of
solution had a chance to come into contact with the
AIV. It required at least 10 minutes of contact to be
effective.61
The ability of a sprayer to make smaller particles
may help a solution’s molecules to be suspended in
the air for a longer period because of their low settlingvelocity rate. This may increase the solution’s chance
of coming into contact with pathogens and inactivat-
ing them. Thus, the fogger used should have an aerosol
size less than 20 mm.62
Discussion
The coronavirus pandemic has caused both a
massive health care and economic disruption across
the world. The current unavailability of an effective
antiviral drug or approved vaccine means that the im-plementation of effective preventive measures is
necessary to counteract COVID-19. Oral-maxillofacial
surgeons are high-risk providers providing needed
care to patients. As more OMS and surgical offices
BLOCK AND ROWAN 1.e3
open during reopening in the United States and else-
where in the world, the need to reduce the risk of
transmission of COVID-19 between patients and pro-
viders is necessary. It is widely believed that with
proper screening and discretion, along with adequate
personal protective equipment, there is a low proba-
bility of becoming infected. The goal of this article is
to provide information regarding disinfection in theclinical office setting using HOCl, a relatively inexpen-
sive, nontoxic, noncorrosive, and well-
studied compound.
HOCl has uses in many industries from farming and
restaurants, regarding food, to health care applica-
tions, including chronic wound care and disinfec-
tion.34,36,43,45,46,63 In addition to the use of HOCl as a
liquid-based disinfectant, fogging with hypochlorousvapor has shown virucidal activity against numerous
types of viruses and bacteria.40,56,57 This is of potential
benefit to disinfect large spaces such as medical and
dental offices where aerosols can be airborne for
extended periods.42,44,64 In terms of particle size,
oral-maxillofacial surgeons may be at a slightly lower
risk than their dental counterparts because ultrasonic
scaling and high-speed handpieces create smaller par-ticles that remain airborne longer.42 However, aerosols
are still created with surgical handpieces. Additionally,
the COVID-19 virus can be present on some surfaces
for days, and the disinfection of all surfaces of an oper-
atory is important to reduce transmission.9,10
Many properties of HOCl contribute to why it may
be the disinfectant of choice in the OMS setting.
Although the shelf life of HOCl is relatively short, itis effective for up to 2 weeks under ideal conditions.35
It can be made on-site inexpensively. A gallon of HOCl
can be purchased frommanufacturers but it is far more
economical for an oral-maxillofacial surgeon to pro-
duce the solution on-site in the office.65 A variety of
HOCl systems costing less than $275 are available on
the market.66 By combining non-iodinated salt, water,
and electricity,33 1 L of HOCl can bemade in 8 minutesand the process can be repeated many times
throughout the day. By comparison, a pack of common
disinfecting wipes containing quaternary ammonium
compounds costs between $4 and $15 for a pack con-
taining 80 sheets. These wipes may only last a day or
two depending the size of the office and area to clean.
Shortages of these products can occur, making sourc-
ing them difficult as well.67
In addition to using HOCl in the form of wipes for
disinfecting, using HOCl vapors through a fogging ma-
chine is an economical way to disinfect a large oper-
ating room or suite in which aerosols were produced
during surgery. Foggers or misting machines are hand-
held machines and can be purchased for a reasonable
cost.68 The aerosol mist ideally should be less than
20 mm in size to maximally disinfect an area. It is
important to note that the fogging process can alter
the physical and chemical properties of the disinfec-
tant, making it more dilute and basic. As mentioned
before, the AFC concentration can be reduced by
approximately 70% and the pH can increase by about
1.3.40 To make a vapor as effective as a solution con-
taining 100 ppm of HOCl, the solution would need
to be concentrated. The fine mist can be left in theempty surgical room without thought regarding harm-
ful chemical effects; the surfaces are then wiped clean
and dry after a few minutes and, for a more dilute solu-
tion, after 10 minutes.
HOCl is one disinfectant that, when combined with
adequate personal protective equipment, screening
and social-distancing techniques, hand washing, and
high-volume evacuation suction, may help reducethe transmission of COVID-19 in the outpatient OMS
setting. It comprises many of the desired effects of
the ideal disinfectant: It is easy to use, is inexpensive,
has a good safety profile, and can be used to disinfect
large areas quickly and with a broad range of bacteri-
cidal and virucidal effects.
