| Altapure HJ600
The Altapure HJ600 not only engages and eliminates Healthcare Associated MRSA but affords an opportunity to engage and eliminate Community Associated MRSA. These pathogens and infections are emerging, vibrant, growing in strength and are a major expense and concern to Hospitals and the general public. Altapure is the answer to these concerns. "I was very impressed by the results of our initial challenge experiments in a test chamber last summer undertaken to evaluate the ALTAPURE technology in a simulated healthcare setting. The results confirmed that a brief exposure to the dilute peracetic acid-hydrogen peroxide aerosol totally sterilized a wide variety of solid surfaces as well as fabrics heavily monocontaminated by clinical isolates of methicillin-resistant Staph aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii and, especially, the spores of Clostridium difficile."

After six and a half years of developing the technology, Altapure, distributed by Infection Prevention Now in Charlotte, NC, introduces the HJ600. The HJ600 creates a vapor cloud in a defined room size that achieves a 100% kill of pathogens, bacteria and infectious bugs. Inclusive in these kill populations are the agents that cause Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) as well as Clostridium Difficile (C-Diff). These kills have been shown to be effective at 100% levels-which is a claim that competitors cannot make at this time.
Presently the HJ600 is in a refinement stage where operator management will be honed down to failsafe levels. The HJ600 is contained in a housing unit, approximately twice the size of a large suitcase, on wheels enabling it to be easily transported. The weight, however, may be unwieldy for a small person so there is a 'tug' component available to move the machine if necessary. Total application time, from start to finish, in a typical hospital patient size room is thirty (30) minutes. [ more ]
