FAQS

EMist is a better way to apply disinfectants. Better, faster, and less cost. Using the system decreases the amount of labor and chemicals by up to 50%. The system allows the chemistry to achieve proper contact time for maximum kill claims stated by the EPA registered chemical. The current “wipe-and-go” disinfecting method introduces human error with the potential of missing high/low touch surfaces, minimizing kill claims by chemicals with reduced, varying contact times, and introducing the potential for cross-contamination by touching every surface. It also has the potential to expose workers to surface pathogens due to touching surfaces.

Yes. EPA studies (EPA-600-R-15-279 and USEPA 2015b) show that compared to traditional sprayer systems, an electrostatic spray technology is more efficient, reduces waste, and delivers a more uniform distribution of liquids over uneven surfaces.

Those involved in preventing and controlling preventable infections require a balanced approach to cost and quality to improve outcomes. Existing disinfection methods, including wipes, spray and wipe, fogging, and UV lighting, are ineffective or expensive. As environmental surface contamination and healthcare-acquired infections have become more defined, EMist sprayers present an effective, approved, and cost-effective alternative to applying disinfectants.
