CurrentAIONX® is defining the new class of continuous, self-cleaning technologies. We have developed a platform technology for use in healthcare settings that continuously cleans treated surfaces, without any manual assistance from cleaning staff. Our platform solution uses silver and copper in a novel and efficient way to actively force the rapid release of antimicrobial metal ions into any contaminated media that contact the treated surface. Our system dynamically responds to external stimuli to release antimicrobial ions only as needed.The unique efficacy of the AIONX® technology comes from its patented combination of silver and copper, along with a microampere electrical current to stimulate and an insulator to control the metal’s inherent antimicrobial properties.* When contaminated media contact treated surfaces, a low energy circuit is completed thereby releasing antimicrobial metal ions, which clean the surface.*AIONX® is producing disposable covers incorporating the AIONX® technology for hospital bed rails and other high touch surfaces in hospital rooms. Third party researchers have conducted a variety of studies involving the AIONX® technology generally, and the AIONX® bed rail covers in particular. The AIONX® technology is registered with the EPA (EPA Reg. No. 91681-1) as an antimicrobial agent that effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, algae, mold, and mildew that cause unpleasant odors, discoloration, staining, deterioration or corrosion on surfaces to which it is applied, including hospital surfaces. The EPA has not reviewed or approved, nor does AIONX® make, any claims that its technology has efficacy against any particular pathogenic microbes.
