TOMI Environmental’s SteraMist Provides Protection Against Monkeypox and Other Pathogens As World Combats Increasing Frequency of Outbreaks
August 08 2022 - 8:30AM
TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ: TOMZ), a
global company specializing in disinfection and decontamination
solutions, announced that with the increasing frequency of
infectious disease outbreaks driven by global travel and
urbanization, TOMI is uniquely prepared to provide effective
disinfection solutions for its existing and new customers by
ensuring that its SteraMist systems and BIT solution are ready to
deploy at a moment’s notice.
TOMI’s integrated business model includes preparedness for any
disaster response and unforeseen emergency. TOMI continues to
proactively procure all essential components to its products, in
spite of the ongoing global supply chain challenges, to ensure its
customers and partners can dependably receive uninterrupted access
to SteraMist solutions and services.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) listed SteraMist
Binary Ionization Technology (BIT) on its Emerging Viral Pathogen
(EVP) Guidance for Antimicrobial Pesticides, List Q, as an
effective disinfectant against the Monkeypox virus. SteraMist BIT
received the listing because it has proven efficacy on viruses that
are more difficult to kill. The product is validated using
Geobacillus stearothermophilus, one of the most resistant microbes,
Biological Indicators (BIs) which is universally accepted by
several organizations as the “Gold Standard” for monitoring
decontamination and sterilization protocols.
SteraMist is currently deployed throughout hospitals,
laboratories, offices, and other facilities worldwide to assist
with disinfection against some of the most lethal pathogens on a
daily basis. In addition, iHP technology has a long history of
successfully combating pathogens causing epidemics and pandemics,
including Ebola, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. TOMI plans to continue
this legacy in the face of unexpected outbreaks, such as the recent
spread of Monkeypox virus, which has been declared by the White
House as a public health emergency.
Whether an outbreak or pandemic requires disinfection with fast,
no-touch application or decontamination of large-scale areas,
SteraMist technology provides uncompromising premium efficacy. From
infected office staff passing pathogens to coworkers to foodborne
virus moving from surface to product, SteraMist products are
positioned to deliver premium disinfection in an oversaturated
market of superficial disinfectants and ineffective cleaning
methods.
Dr. Shane, CEO of TOMI, stated, “As the world moves beyond the
COVID-19 pandemic, a shift has occurred in how the public and
business organizations view disinfection as a critical tool in
protecting health and safety in social environments. COVID-19 is
part of a pattern of an increasing number of outbreaks with
globalization and urbanization. People are more concerned with new
pathogens and businesses are highly focused on implementing
preventive measures to mitigate risks and losses. SteraMist’s quick
disinfection process results in a six-log kill with no residue,
providing comfort to customers that this product enables them to
contend with new pathogens as they arise while maintaining facility
integrity and environmental safety. Regardless of the
crises, we will always provide consistent quality and maintain
solution inventory.”
