H1N1 Concerns? Pioneer Eclipse has solutions.

With the beginning of the school year and the almost daily references in the media regarding the possible escalation of the Swine Flu (H1N1 Virus), BSC's and customers alike are seeking the most effective preventative measures. Amano Pioneer Eclipse has three very effective products to deter the spread of this pandemic virus.

NeutraQuat and Aurora HB are both effective germicidal detergents and deodorants suitable for all surfaces in public environments while Triton XLC is an extremely effective washroom disinfectant cleaner. Any of these three APEC products can be a key element of an effective cleaning protocol to preclude the spread of H1N1 virus.

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the H1N1 virus is typically spread like conventional flu viruses, i.e. person to person by exposure to coughing, sneezing or by touching a hard surface with the flu virus on it and then subsequently touching your eyes, mouth or nose before washing your hands.

While nothing yet has been identified as being effective in precluding the infection after transmission of the virus has occurred, the CDC and others have endorsed a preemptive cleaning protocol as being effective at circumventing initial transmission of the virus.

Experts believe that once respiratory droplets from an infected person are deposited on a hard surface such as a doorknob or desk, they can transmit the virus for up to 2-8 hours. This being the case, the most obvious means of reducing the possibility of transmission is to establish a cleaning protocol that cleans the surface and kills the virus on contact.

Eclipse Aurora HB is a particularly aggressive virucide, which has proven to be effective against a wide spectrum of pathogens, and meets all requirements for hospital use.

NeutraQuat is a powerful germicide/quaternary cleaner, which kills and neutralizes a broad spectrum of pathogens. NeutraQuat is also an excellent cleaner which is safe for all washable surfaces.

Triton XLC washroom disinfectant cleaner is a multipurpose germicidal detergent, which disinfects, cleans and deodorizes in one step.

APEC recommends the use of Aurora HB, NeutraQuat or Triton XLC in a comprehensive cleaning program as a highly effective means of stopping transmission of H1N1 flu virus dead in its tracks.
