Halosil International & The Importance Of Disinfection In The Healthcare Setting

On July 22, Maryalice StClair, the chief commercial officer with Halosil International, spoke to TASCS members about eliminating pathogens in healthcare facilities. During her presentation, she explained the importance of having a simple and affordable solution at ambulatory surgery centers.

Halosil International was established in 2008, with a line of products that help decrease healthcare-associated infections. The company prides itself on having superior disinfection solutions that achieve a 6-log kill, meaning they are extremely effective at killing pathogens and reducing the risk of spread — even more so than competing technology, such as UV lights or electrostatic sprayers.

 

 

 

 

During her presentation, StClair pointed out that, statistically, 1 in every 31 hospital patients acquires at least one healthcare-associated infection. With this knowledge and the continuing threat of COVID-19 and its variants, it’s critical that medical facilities invest in a proper disinfection process to prevent the spread of pathogens. 

 

The Halo Disinfection System is unique from other disinfecting equipment in that it emphasizes whole-room disinfection through fogging the entire area, ensuring no surfaces are missed. The fogging system works against all kinds of pathogens, including those that are of higher resistance to disinfectants. Beyond that, the system also has excellent material compatibility, meaning it won’t damage electronics, computer screens or any other instruments in the room.

After a room has been fogged, staff may re-enter the room safely with personal protective equipment or, after a couple hours, re-enter the room without any PPE. The Halo Disinfection System is also the first EPA-registered fogging system, so it is not only highly effective but also environmentally friendly.
