The Efficacy of Hypochlorous Acid
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a safe yet highly effective EPA-registered, hospital-grade disinfectant. Its broad spectrum efficacy, rapid action, 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 is effective against a wide range of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores on environmental surfaces. It is the most effective and efficient form of chlorine for surface disinfection — 80 to 100 times 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. 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. This product also qualifies for emerging viral claims per the EPA’s guidance for registrants when used in accordance with the appropriate use directions.
*Additional studies conducted by independent laboratories following EPA/FDA Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) demonstrate that Nevoa Microburst Solution is highly effective at reducing microbial contamination on environmental surfaces, including microorganisms commonly found in healthcare environments.

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.
