What is Super Oxidized Water, Hypochlorous Acid Water or HOCl?
CDC Guideline for Disinfection and Sterilization in Healthcare Facilities, Excerpt –
In October 2002, the FDA cleared super oxidized water as a high-level disinfectant (FDA, personal communication, September 18, 2002).
The microbicidal activity of a new high-level disinfectant, “super oxidized water,” hypochlorous acid (HOCl). has been examined.
The concept of electrolyzing saline to create a disinfectant or antiseptics is appealing because the basic materials of saline and electricity are inexpensive and the end product (i.e., water) does not damage the environment.
The main products of this water are hypochlorous acid (e.g., at a concentration of about 144 mg/L) and chlorine. As with any germicide, the antimicrobial activity of super oxidized water is strongly affected by the concentration of the active ingredient (available free chlorine)
One manufacturer generates the disinfectant at the point of use by passing a saline solution over coated titanium electrodes at 9 amps. The product generated has a pH of 5.0-6.5 and an oxidation-reduction potential (redox) of >950 mV.
Although super oxidized water is intended to be generated fresh at the point of use, when tested under clean conditions the disinfectant was effective within 5 minutes when 48 hours old. (It has been found in some cases to be self-stable for several months)
In October 2002, the FDA cleared super oxidized water as a high-level disinfectant (FDA, personal communication, September 18, 2002).
“Superoxidized water” has been tested against bacteria, mycobacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores.
Freshly generated super oxidized water is rapidly effective (<2 minutes) in achieving a 5-log10 reduction of pathogenic microorganisms (i.e., M. tuberculosis, M. chelonae, poliovirus, HIV, multidrug-resistant S. aureus, E. coli, Candida albicans, Enterococcus faecalis, P. aeruginosa) in the absence of organic loading.
I have other studies which show that Super Oxidized Water or Hypochlorous Acidic Water has an ever-larger list of pathogen kills than the one above,
You can purchase one of these Super Oxidized Water generators for your home, office or business.
We have several models to choose from to fit your budget. Payment plans are available.
