 SANOTRACIN RTUQUICKLY AND SAFELY KILLS C. DIFFICILE IN JUST THREE MINUTES

ST. LOUIS, May 31, 2012 -- In the United States Clostridium difficile or “C. difficile” is now recognized as one
of the most dangerous and fastest growing Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) in existence. Now surpassing
even Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), C. difficile infections tripled between 2000 and 2005
(http://shea.confex.com/shea/2010/webprogram/Paper2801.html).


BioMed Protect, LLC has announced the introduction of EPA-registered Sanotracin RTU™ (“RTU” meaning,
“Ready-To-Use) the effective and affordable surface disinfectant with a three-minute C. difficile spore claim at
99.9999% – the fastest efficacy in the industry. Recognized as “the point of protection,” patented Sanotracin
RTU is proven safe and cost effective with a verified unmatched efficacy rate as a bactericide, virucide,
tuberculocide, fungicide, and sporicidal disinfectant cleaner.


Sanotracin RTU is a hospital grade disinfectant cleaner for use in all health care facilities including surgical and
obstetrical suites, patient rooms, physical therapy departments, nursing services, autopsy facilities, and nursing
homes.


More importantly Sanotracin RTU provides sporicidal effectiveness without the use of bleach.
(http://voices.yahoo.com/bleach-health-dangers-effectiveness-3068416.html). In addition to being the only
product with a three-minute efficacy claim, Sanotracin RTU also contains no alcohol, does not require rinsing
and leaves no film on surfaces to which it is applied unlike many competing disinfectants with bleach.


Sanotracin RTU provides Environmental Services Directors and front line Environmental Services staff the
fastest acting product to clean and disinfect surfaces exposed to C. difficile spores with maximum efficacy. “As
hospitals and healthcare facilities become more efficient in handling HAI’s they need the tools and processes in
place to provide healthy spaces for patients,” said Mark Regna CHESP. Sanotracin RTU disinfectant provides a
one-step process to disinfect, eliminate and prevent the spread of C. difficile spores, MRSA, VRE Acinetobacter
baumannii, and 50 other pathogens.


According to the Centers For Disease Control (CDC), C. difficile infections are linked to 14,000 deaths in the
US each year and deaths related to C. difficile increased 400% between 2000 and 2007, due in part to a stronger
bacterial strain. Most C. difficile infections are contracted by individuals while in the process of receiving
medical care. More than 90% of deaths occur in people 65 and older.
(http://www.cdc.gov/hai/organisms/cdiff/Cdiff-patient.html - gen).


Sanotracin RTU is a critical component in the battle against HAI’s because of its rapid three-minute efficacy.
The fatality rate and the associated cost make the control of C. difficile a grave issue. According to the CDC, in
the United States, one in 20 hospital-acquired infections are fatal (http://www.cdc.gov/HAI/burden.html).
Healthcare-associated infections result in associated costs of $35 billion to $45 billion every year through such
factors as loss of life, litigation, prolonged hospitalizations and unrecoverable treatment expenses as has been
cited by economist R. Douglas Scott.


Over the past three years, BioMed Protect has devoted its resources to research and development of the
Sanotracin RTU formula with improved efficacy and safety (for both the Healthcare Professional and the
greater environment) as primary goals. The Sanotracin RTU patented formula and process provide an EPA
registered product that cleans and disinfects a broad spectrum of bacteria on hard and non-porous surfaces in
two minutes while killing C. difficile in just three minutes – almost twice as fast as any other product.


“At BioMed Protect we are very pleased to announce the revolutionary surface disinfectant Sanotracin RTU is
the first EPA registered surface disinfectant with a three-minute C-Diff spore claim,” said BioMed Protect CEO
Ronald Pass. “BioMed Protect’s initiative to bring this disinfectant to fruition has been a three-year project
guided by our mission to provide ‘Environmental Prevention through Design,’ a program to assist the healthcare
industry with the right tools and chemicals to reduce HAI’s. We believe that Sanotracin RTU provides the
correct efficacy and reliability that is needed to assist the healthcare community in the fight against HAI’s.
We’re gratified that BioMed Protect is delivering 21st century technology for 21st century HAI’s,” Pass said.


BioMed Protect(TM) Sanotracin Disinfectant will be ready for shipment in mid July 2012. Sanotracin RTU
will be available in a 32 oz. spray, pour top and in 128 oz. bottles. For more information or to request product
