The Efficacy of Hypochlorous Acid
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a safe yet highly effective EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant. Its broad spectrum efficacy, rapid kill and exceptional safety profile make it a superior alternative to harsh solutions like quaternary ammonium formulations, bleach, peroxide, peracetic acid and various types of alcohols.
HOCl eliminates a wide range of pathogens including bacteria, viruses, fungi and spores. It is the most effective and efficient form of chlorine for disinfection — 80-100x more powerful than bleach. At the same time, its near neutral pH is the same as human tears, which makes it gentle and prevents it from breaking down surfaces.
Nontoxic and environmentally friendly, HOCl is naturally produced by white blood cells in all mammals to fight off infection. It is currently approved by the FDA and EPA for widespread use in applications such as no-rinse food sanitization, water treatment, skincare products, eyecare products and wound care products.
This product has been tested according to EPA standards for Hospital-Grade Disinfection. Additionally, this product qualifies for emerging viral pathogen claims per the EPA’s “Guidance for Registrants: Process for Making Claims Against Emerging Viral Pathogens not on EPA-Registered Disinfectant Labels’ when used in accordance with the appropriate use directions.
* Additional studies conducted by independent laboratories that follow EPA/FDA Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) demonstrate Nevoa Microburst SolutionTM is highly effective in disinfecting various pathogens, including those known to cause HAIs.

Efficacy of Fogging Hypochlorous Acid for Patient Room Pathogen Reduction
Prevention of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) remains a priority for hospitals and healthcare facilities. Every year nearly 1.7 million hospitalized patients acquire an HAI while being treated for another health issue, and more 98,000 patients die due to these infections.
