Setting the Standard For Large Area High-Level Disinfection ™

New Demands Require New Solutions

Altapure ® – Meeting the new demands of the “end of the antibiotic era” by providing state-of-the-art equipment like the Altapure AP-4.

The AP-4 high-level disinfects by eliminating the threat posed by viruses, bacteria, fungus, and spores, on all exposed surfaces in the treated space. The Altapure technology consistently achieves at least a 6 Log elimination of C. difficile (C. diff), VRE, CRE, MRSA, and C. auris.

The process performance can be easily validated with internationally recognized spore strip challenges. It is the ability to eliminate and not just reduce bioburden that sets Altapure apart from UV light products.

The C. difficile (C-diff) Spore Response

Clostridium difficile (C-diff) is still the leading cause of hospital acquired infections. Altapure has a proven track record of eliminating C. difficile (C-diff) and its spores from contaminated hospital spaces and stopping facility-wide infections.

The Candida auris (C. auris) Fungus Threat

Resistant strains of C. auris continue to spread throughout the United States and the world, endangering at risk patients. Altapure has a proven track record of eliminating C. auris and its spores from contaminated hospital spaces. Elimination prevents distant contamination.

Introducing Altapure's

PC-R.E.D

The AP-4 ™ High Level Disinfection System (HLDS ™) has consistently killed 100% of pathogens (i.e. C. difficile spores, VRE, CRE, MRSA, C. auris, & viruses such as coronaviruses) in a treated space using an EPA approved cold sterilant. Patient rooms are ready for reoccupation in less than 50 minutes. No other option can match this performance! *See the scientific studies set forth herein.

Papers by Dr. Curtis Donskey, W. Rutaha Ph.D, Dr. S. Raju found the following:

Process meets EPA definition for Hospital Disinfection / Sporicide.

Full room coverage and efficacy; all exposed surfaces contacted.

Helps hospitals meet OSHA requirements.

Reduces infection risks for patients and staff.

Single compact unit (aerosol generator + vapor removal system).

Wireless control and data reporting.

50 minute patient room turn time (entry to exit).

The AP-4 ™ High Level Disinfection System (HLDS ™) is an enhanced ultrasonic product that consistently delivers a 6 Log kill when using an EPA disinfectant that is approved for fogging as an adjunct to cleaning on all exposed surfaces.

The AP-4 ™ delivers a dense cloud of sub-micron fog droplets for the high-level disinfection of large spaces such as those found in medical facilities, clean rooms, pharmaceutical facilities, biotechnology facilities, hospitals - including patient rooms, ICUs, and operating rooms. The dense sub-micron aerosol delivers gas-like performance that offers three-dimensional coverage in large areas.

What Others Are Saying

“In 2012, our Infection Prevention team implemented the Altapure HJ30i disinfection system. We choose Altapure over other options on the market due to the assurance of complete disinfection on all surfaces. Altapure has contributed to a decrease in cross contamination in our inpatient locations. In our outpatient clinic areas, it has successfully halted seasonal viral outbreaks among staff.”

"The Altapure High Level Disinfection System has been an outstanding addition in mitigating the risk of environmental contamination of patient rooms.  Elmhurst Hospital went live with the use of Altapure 2 years ago (March 2016).  Beginning in July of 2016, we lowered our SIR <1 and have sustained an SIR< 1 for over 1 ½ years now. Our lowest SIR has been 0.452. We continue to strive for zero HO infections!"

"This system represents a revolutionary change in how we clean. It eliminates the variability that happens when a person disinfects a room," says Pamela Dunley, Vice President, Chief Operating Officer/Chief Nursing Officer, Elmhurst Hospital. "Now when we clean rooms that were exposed to higher-risk (organisms), we can exactly reproduce the same process each time. It's safer for the staff, as well as the patients."

IU Health Goshen began using the Altapure unit in November of 2014.   We chose it over a UV system, because the Altapure system disinfects everything in the room.   We use the Altapure unit for disinfection of rooms that house patients on contact precautions for selected Multi Drug-Resistant Organisms.

It fits into the workflow of our Environmental Services department, since while it is running in one room they are able to clean another.

It is reassuring knowing that all surfaces in the room have been disinfected.   Our representative actually brought biological test strips (used to test that an autoclave is properly functioning and sterilizing instruments).  IU Health Goshen placed them in multiple areas in a patient room and bathroom.  We ran the unit in the patient room with the bathroom door open.   They were sent to an independent company for results.  The biological indicators passed.  This was just amazing to me.

The company has been very responsive when we need anything.   Our representative usually calls within a few minutes of me hitting “send” on an email to her. It would be our choice if we had to make the choice all over again.”

"Our patients come to us because they are sick or injured. We are determined to prevent them from acquiring an infection while they're in the hospital.  Over the years, we've strived to achieve a zero rate of healthcare-acquired infections. The Altapure disinfection system is an enhanced component of the prevention measures already in place.  Staff have said, 'I feel comfortable and safe having my loved ones come to Elmhurst.' I feel that way, too. Peace of mind comes from a process like this that shows a true commitment and dedication to patient safety."
