2 Vioguard is committed to developing innovative products that help organizations stop the spread of harmful bacteria and viruses. The Vioguard TM Self-Sanitizing Keyboard uses the germicidal properties of ultraviolet light (UV-C) to automatically disinfect the keyboard surface after every use. The Problem Our own hands are often infection vectors for the microbes that make us sick. In some environments these microbes can be deadly. Did you know that in the USA Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) kill more than 100,000 people every year? That s more than breast cancer, AIDS and auto accidents combined. Over 2,000,000 HAIs occur every year in the USA at a cost of billions of dollars to the economy. As shared workstation computers become more prevalent with the advent of electronic medical records, so does the potential to spread deadly pathogens through cross-contamination. Computer keyboards and mice are identified as two of the top five vectors for cross-contamination. The Vioguard Self-Sanitizing Keyboard stops the spread of dangerous microorganisms that would otherwise be transmitted at shared workstations. Our product saves lives and money. Conventional computer keyboards have been identified as a key point of transmission for viruses and bacteria, especially within the medical setting. The Vioguard keyboard takes the guesswork out of sanitization efforts, reduces labor costs and absenteeism and helps fight the spread of harmful and deadly superbugs.

3 Computer Keyboard & Mouse Cross-Contamination Preventing deadly diseases such as methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), C. difficile and norovirus is a top priority for hospitals, however, many organizations struggle with the challenge of manually disinfecting shared surfaces in busy environments. The Vioguard self-sanitizing keyboard is 99.99% effective in killing these harmful microorganisms and is a completely automated system capable of disinfecting the keyboard within seconds after every single use. According to a study by The US National Sanitation Foundation, the average bacterial count on keyboards is 562 per square centimeter greater than the bacterial count on a toilet seat, which was measured at 465 per square cm! Harmful Microorganisms are Costly The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that one of every 22 patients, or 2 million patients, will get an infection while hospitalized this year. These infections directly cost the U.S. economy from $28 to $45 billion per year.

4 The Solution Vioguard is the only FDA and CE approved UV germicidal device. UVGI - A Superior Technology Since the early 20th century, ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) has been used as an effective disinfectant in HVAC, water treatment facilities and hospital environments. Hospital-borne pathogens can be killed or rendered harmless with the use of UVC in appropriate dosages by effectively disrupting microorganisms DNA and RNA while preventing colonization. Unlike their resilient response to chemical disinfectants, micro organisms are unable to develop UVC resistance. Our UVC solution operates automatically ensuring consistent and reliable disinfection. Stop the Transfer of Pathogens Preventing Disaster Healthcare Acquired Infections (HAIs) take lives. Over 100,000 people die each year in the USA from the 2,000,000 HAIs that occur.
