1 Tesng HVAC Implementaon vs. In-room applicaon of Cluster Ions to Inacvate Pathogens ● Three years ago in June we installed Inspired Tec’s PCO (Photo Catalytic Oxidation) technology in 14 rooms of Patricia Wray's Critical Care Unit at a cost of approximately $20,000, with equip- ment and installation costs. ● We are now due to replace all current cells expiring in less than 60 days with newly enhanced cells producing 10 times as many cluster ions at a cost of $4,000. ● There is “0” maintenance cost on both systems except for replacing the cells every three years at $273.00 per cell, or $91.00 per room, per year on both the HVAC system and the CLEAR in room units. The initial cost for the CLEAR unit is $1196.00 per room which is a onetime expense. We appreciate Keith Downey recently testing Inspired Tec’s new cell technology in rooms T332 and T311. Check the graphs below for his favorable results at reducing CFU’s * Colony Forming Units With the experienced success in reducing St. Francis Health’s CFU’s, * our mission is to install Inspired Tec’s CLEAR unit in Karen Hunt’s AICU wing to demonstrate reducons in HAI’s. ● These units provide 24/7 output of cluster ions at a lower cost than UVC—with paents in their rooms. ● The investment in Inspired Tec's CLEAR unit is $1,196 per room with no maintenance costs; except for the replacement of its PCO Cell every 3 years—which is less than ¼ the investment of the unit. ● The comparison of HVAC units and Inspired Tec’s CLEAR—with new cell technology upgrades is certain to provide the most effecve results in reducing HAI’s. ● Our vendor, Inspired Tec, LLC, asserts their technology to be more effec- ve, and at a lower cost, while ulizing safer technology in our quest for superior air and surface purificaon.
