Integrated Environmental Technologies Receives EPA Approval to Market a New Excelyte(TM) Product
March 26 2014 - 12:25PM
Integrated Environmental Technologies Ltd. (OTCBB:IEVM), announced
today that it received approval from the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency to market a new Excelyte™ product called Excelyte
VET – which can be used to prevent Canine distemper. Canine
distemper is highly contagious, resistant to most disinfectants,
and is the leading cause of infectious disease deaths in dogs
worldwide.
The new product registration (EPA Registration #82341-4) also
allows the company to market Excelyte VET to prevent the spread of
Canine parvovirus and Bordetella bronchiseptica.
Canine distemper and Canine parvoviruses affect respiratory
tracks and gastrointestinal and central nervous systems of dogs,
causing vomiting, diarrhea and symptoms of encephalitis in the
brain during later stages. Bordetella bronchiseptica
bacteria, commonly known as "kennel cough", severely affect the
respiratory tracts of dogs and cats. Secondary infections and
complications are common with each affliction, partly attributable
to the immunosuppressive effects of the bacteria and viruses.
In collaboration with an independent third party, Integrated
Environmental Technologies conducted the required testing at an
independent EPA approved laboratory, the results of which showed
that Excelyte VET was effective as a disinfection/antimicrobial
product for use on non-porous hard surfaces in veterinary clinics
and hospitals, kennels and animal life science
facilities. Derived from naturally occurring salt minerals and
water, Excelyte VET provides an environmentally responsible
alternative product for use around dogs, cats and other
animals. Because of its non-toxic nature, a facility that
utilizes Excelyte VET can more efficiently disinfect the facility
since Excelyte VET will not harm the animals located in the
facility, as is the case with other toxic disinfectants commonly
used.
David R. LaVance, President and Chief Executive Officer of
Integrated Environmental Technologies, commented: "Excelyte VET is
the newest offering under our EcoTreatments™ umbrella. There
are more than 120,000 veterinary practices, hospitals and animal
shelters in the United States that can greatly benefit from an
effective, non-toxic solution. With the registration approval
of Excelyte VET, we now have two EPA product registrations, with a
combined total of sixteen kill claims, further establishing us as a
leader in developing anolyte disinfecting solution produced through
electrochemical activation."
