TECcare Ultra Fogging technology delivers a safer environment.
Talley Environmental Care Ltd has introduced a unique TECcare Ultra fogging (TUF) antimicrobial technology that is ideally suited for use in all environments, with proven biological efficacy and safety credentials. TUF can be deployed simply and has proven material compatibility so all surfaces and environments can be decontaminated safely without the risks and potential damage associated with using traditional hydrogen peroxide vapour, formaldehyde or chlorine-based products (including bleach).
Talley Environmental Care Ltd are at the forefront in the battle against potentially life threatening micro organisms and have completed extensive testing that proves the TUF system is highly effective at killing and destroying microbial pathogens including;
Clostridium difficile spores, Swine flu (H1N1), Noro Virus, Polio Virus, Human Influenza A (H1N1), MRSA along with a range of moulds and fungi.
By intelligently controlling the process, TUF can safely decontaminate any given environment, once the equipment is set up the decontamination process starts remotely. TECcare Ultra diffuses and engulfs all exposed surfaces and penetrates hidden areas and fabric items. By using TUF all of the walls, the doors and doorframes, the windows, the floor, the ceiling, the room contents including sensitive equipment, soft furnishings including fabrics and upholstery as well as behind radiators and in air conditioning ducts can be treated automatically, with no additional chemicals, and in a very short timescale reducing the cost and range of chemicals required to decontaminate large areas.
Reducing costs The equipment and service contracts offered by many manufacturers has been very expensive, these costs have made fogging solutions inaccessible to many and only available in selective areas for those with access. The TUF system equipment and consumables are very competitively priced with no costly service contracts making it accessible to all.
Quicker turnaround times. Many environments and facilities cannot take whole areas out of use for prolonged periods of time, especially as many of the current technologies require long contact times and surfaces need to be wiped down after the process to remove potentially harmful residues. TUF does not produce these harmful residues and a standard 5x5x3 meter area can be back in use within 1 hour of starting the decontamination operation.
Efficacy. It is not only the chemical used within the process but also the particle size of the fog generated by the apparatus that is critical. To obtain access to “dead zones” such as window sills and room corners where negative pressure points are created, the correct particle size is crucial, too small and the fog is pushed away from the “dead zones”, too large a particle means the fluid will fall out of the air before it can circulate thoroughly. The TUF System creates a fog with an optimum particle size that penetrates “dead zones” ensuring decontamination of all surfaces and has been independently tested. TUF Systems utilize TECcare™ Ultra the novel Ultra High level cold sterilant that is effective against all micro-organisms including Clostridium difficile spores plus pathogenic viruses such as Norovirus and Polio virus. TECcare™ Ultra has been proved to be effective by leading independent laboratories.
Safety. Many of the chemicals currently used to fog areas have inherent safety issues both for the operators and the equipment and furnishings within the area being decontaminated, with a risk of corrosion and damage to some materials. TECcare Ultra is safe for use on all surfaces, eliminating the need to remove equipment and furnishings from an area prior to decontamination.
Portability / Storage. Much of the equipment currently being used is large, cumbersome and complicated to operate, this results in issues with where the equipment can be stored and who can operate it. The TUF System is light, compact and robust for portability, easy storage and durability. The equipment is easy to use with a simple electronic programmable timer allowing it to be operated by local staff.
The TUF is a safe, highly effective, simple to deploy and a cost effective environmental decontamination process that is a key element in reducing the risk of spreading infectious agents from a variety of environments, including Healthcare, Hospitality and Leisure facilities, cruise liners, as well as specialized environments within the Pharmaceutical and Food and Beverage Industries.
