Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. Announces the Publication of Excelyte(TM) Test Results by Independent Hospital Sy...
June 25 2014 - 1:04PM
Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. (OTCBB:IEVM) today
announced that Carson Tahoe Health System has published the results
of Carson Tahoe's independent study testing the effectiveness of
Excelyte™ in reducing the amount of bacteria present in a hospital
setting. The study focused on "high-touch" areas where large
numbers of patients and workers face the potential of acquiring and
spreading hospital-acquired infections. Of the 54 high-touch
sites cultured post standard cleaning, residual bacteria was found
in 85 percent of the cultures, as compared to 31 percent of the
cultures post Excelyte cleaning. The report also highlights
Excelyte's non-toxic properties, which do not corrode hospital
equipment like more commonly used chemicals, and that Excelyte is
as much as 100 times more effective at disinfection than
traditional chemicals, such as bleach. The study was conducted
and the report was written by Dorris Dimmit, MPH, an epidemiologist
at Carson Tahoe Health System who is a certified infection
preventionist.
David R. LaVance, IET's President and Chief Executive Officer,
commented, "Our EcoTreatments™ products continue to gain traction
in the energy and healthcare markets, leading to extensive research
and evaluation by both the public and private sectors. We are
pleased to share the impressive results of the independent study
recently conducted by the Carson Tahoe Health System whereby
Excelyte was used in a hospital setting to reduce the presence of
potentially deadly bacteria. Previous research has shown
Excelyte to be an effective killer of some of the most dangerous
threats, including CRE, MRSA and C. diff. Every year, more
than two million Americans are infected by drug-resistant bacteria,
leading to as many as 23,000 deaths. As the threat from
superbugs grows, Excelyte provides an effective, non-toxic
alternative for healthcare systems to reduce hospital-acquired
infections."
