A booster shot for your facility
Purpose
 Describe how SparGuard and Containment
Filter Technologies products can add additional
protection capability.
 Determine if there is a good fit between your
needs and our offerings, and if we should move
forward.
Agenda:
 Introduction
 Product Overview
 Proposed solutions / business opportunities
 Questions
 Next Steps
Antimicrobial Technology
 SparGuard protects virtually all solid surfaces
and fabrics from a broad array of disease and
odor causing micro-organisms, including all
forms of MRSA.
 SparGuard inhibits biological growth on
treated surfaces for as long as 90 days. On
surfaces with little or no friction the molecule
will bind for years.

Patented Technology
Superbugs are on the rise
 Infection is the #1 cause of death worldwide
and the #3 cause of death in USA.
 Superbug mutations caused by sterilants,
chemicals.
 25 years ago, 80% of infection was controlled
by antibiotics. Today, less than 50% of
infections are deemed controllable.
 Health problems caused by the growth of
bacteria, fungi, algae, mold, and mildew in
living and work areas are ever-increasing.
 Mold is more lethal than asbestos and more
prevalent.
SparGuard - A Micro-biostatic Surface Protectant
How it Works
 Microbes land on the surface
protectant
 Microbes’ membranes are
ruptured by the surface protectant
and die
 Surface remains poised to kill next
microbe
Electron Microscope View
 Not a leaching poison, does not
use depleting heavy metals
 Continues to protect in-between
cleanings
 Colorless and odorless
 Water-based, easy to handle and
low risk for workers to use

SparGuard Usage
Spray it on or wash it in.
Becomes active within 3 minutes of application
and starts to work as soon as micro-organisms
come into contact with the treated surface.
It then works continuously to maintain a
consistently lower bio-burden than would be
expected on a surface not protected by
SparGuard.
Normal cleaning of the treated surfaces is
necessary in order for SparGuard’s antimicrobial
spikes to continue their effectiveness.
Dirt build-up, paint, dead microbes, etc. can
cover the treatment, preventing it from killing
micro-organisms.
SparGuard Laundry Treatment
SparGuard and Fabric Softener Combined
 An independent, long-term hospital study
showed that SparGuard reduced microbe counts
in many cases by over 99% on fabrics and other
surfaces (Study is available upon request.)
 SparGuard has been shown to significantly
reduce the staph counts and subsequent staph
infections on oil rigs.
 SparGuard treatment increases the longevity of
fabrics, as recognized by the EPA, as it “inhibits
deterioration caused by bacteria.”
BioProtect 500® Laundry Treatment
BioProtect 500® and Fabric Softener Combined
Items normally laundered
 Fabrics that can’t be “tracked” or have high turnover
 Use every wash -Add 1% of the weight of the fabric being
washed.
 Use in every wash and BioProtect 500® protection increases,
as shown in a study (Study is available upon request.)
 Only $0.02 -$.03 per pound
Items not regularly laundered and/or can’t be laundered
 Curtains, room dividers, and upholstered furniture.
 Fabrics that can be tracked such as an individual uniforms
 One Time Usage - Add 5% of the weight of the fabric being
washed.
 It’s 5% active ingredient used one-time gives antimicrobial
protection for the useful life of the fabric.
 Only $0.10 -$0.15 per pound
Case Study privacy curtains
From CBS News – Link available upon request
Scientists swabbed 43 hospital curtains twice a week for three
weeks. They analyzed 180 samples, and found germs on 119.
Twenty-six percent of curtains tested positive for the potentially
deadly antibiotic-resistant Staphylococcus aureus bacteria known as
MRSA, and 44 percent tested positive for a form of Enterococcus
bacteria - some of which were antibiotic resistant.
Researchers also placed 13 new curtains in a hospital for the
study. Within a week, 12 were contaminated.
SparGuard Hospital Study Microbial Counts:
Baseline - 2/25/10

Follow-Up 3/21/10

Follow-Up 3/30/10

Through June 2010

Disease Spreads through the air
 Cardinal Health believes at least 18% of hospitalacquired infections are airborne
 2009 ASHRAE study clearly identifies a series of
pathogens that move through the air and through
HVAC systems

Containment filter’s ability to filter virus
size particles from the air
New technology – low cost clean air
New synthetic filter media with efficiencies to H.E.P.A.
99.97% @ .1 micron.
Soft flexible pad with a very low static pressure.
Easily installed and removed
Requires no retrofit to the HVAC main system.
Attach via double sided tape over every return vent.
Drastically reduces the transmission of the particles from
dust to sub-micron sized particles (mold, fungi, viruses and
microbes)
No capital cost for the system (cost can be transferred
directly to patients)
Rough cost - between .20 cents to $2.00 dollars per 1000 square feet per
day
