FAQs

Will it provide a better, safer workplace experience for building users than current UV, fogging or wet chemical methods?

OXONOX offers a genuinely new, but brilliantly simple solution, for permanent sterilisation of air and surfaces, without labour, or need for chemicals or any consumables, every minute of every day, for a fraction of the total cost (£3 per day) of manual work or alternative solutions such as UV light

Will it reduce the total man hours and consumables required for sterilisation of touchpoints?

OXONOX Plasma Solutions run continuously and use the air as raw material and have no moving parts users can expect negligible maintenance costs ( a yearly filter change)  and sub-£10 per year running costs

How could I tell asset users they are better protected?

OXONOX is something genuinely new to shout about that user/visitor wellbeing is top priority. OXONOX have a suite of marketing and communication materials, including digital signage and social media, that can easily be integrated into your social media and placed within your buildings.

Is Plasma Technology the same as UV technology?

No, they are completely different apart methods for sterilisation without human intervention. UVC technology inactivates the reproduction abilities of microorganisms with a high dosage of UVC light whereas plasma  technology from OXONOX kills all pathogenic microorganisms in seconds. 
Plasma and its sterilisation effects are not affected by reflective surfaces such as glass found in many modern buildings, leisure venues etc. UV Light Radiation would not be suitable where light can be reflected.  
UVC light radiation is affected by shadowing so can almost never cover 100% of a target, OXONOX plasma technology, as a gas, has 360 degree coverage. Safety concerns of using UV such as light radiation, risk of ozone generation also have to be considered whereas  OXONOX products simply use the air around us and exhaust super-cleansed air back into  environment. The ultra-cleansed air that is the by-product of OXONOX products is completely safe.

What does Log 5 mean and why is it important?

Log reduction is a mathematical calculation used to understand the number of living microbes that are killed when using  cold plasma technology or other method of sterilisation. This is especially important to understand how effective a product is to eliminate or reduce the spread of viruses.  
For example, a log reduction of 1 corresponds to a 90% reduction in the inactivation of the target microbe. This sees a reduction factor of 10. On the other end of the scale, a log reduction of 6 corresponds to a 99.9999% reduction in the inactivation of the target microbe, which sees a reduction factor of 1,000,000.  
This is an important and effective calculation as it explains the relative number of microbes targeted and reduced by the disinfectant and therefore prevents the further spreading of viruses.  
The difference between 99.9% and 99.99 log 5 is from 1000 microbes per 1,000,000 down to 10 per 1,000,000, enough to really make a difference to microbial activity and regeneration.

Does Plasma Technology from OXONOX contain dangerous levels of Ozone?

All gases are dispersed in safe doses within government regulations. After plasma is  generated it is filtered into harmless and super-cleansed air and exhausted back  into atmosphere.

Is Plasma Technology by OXONOX really “plug and play?

air conditioning units and escalators but as every install is different, bespoke mounts and brackets may be required.  In general, everything you need to start is included.

How often does it sterilise the area?

It provides a unique 6 hour sterilisation shield with a 30 second blast. The blast can be emitted while building users are present – there is no need to clear the space. No other method can achieve this.

What level of microbiotic kill does it provide?

Extreme kill levels typically at least 99.99% Log 4 up to 99.999% Log 5, a paradigm shift with plasma sterilisation technology, every second of every day. This means that sterilisation lasts longer with less risk of microbial resistance to treatment.
