Industry Leading Infection Control Technologies

The surface of your monitor has an added material known as SteriTouch®, an antimicrobial product, that offers protection against a range of bacteria including E.coli, MRSA, Salmonella, and Legionella, as well as black mold growth, biofilm, and fungi1.

A statement from SteriTouch® manufacturer states “Coronavirus COVID-19 is an enveloped virus, so called because of its fatty outer membrane or ‘envelope’. Several of the active substances we use have been successfully tested against other enveloped viruses, such as Influenza, Avian flu, and SARS. It would be reasonable to imply that those same active substances would be effective against COVID-19, but at this stage testing against COVID-19 is not available .”

D-piece™ Valves
The D-piece™ contains a one-way valve and an integrated infection control filter with the ability to filter out viral particles and bacterial spores. The D-piece™ filters have been independently tested for the prevention of cross-infection. We are happy to announce that based on this data Bedfont concluded that bacterial and viral pathogens including (COVID-19 / SARS-COV-2) will effectively be removed by the D-piece™ filter at an efficiency rate of

99% (bacteria) and >97% (viruses).
