Safe enough for neonatal units
Clinical evidence indicates that pure hypochlorous acid (HOCl) can be used safely in neonatal care environments, including settings involving premature infants. Studies show effective microbial control without harmful side effects.
View Study
Medical research conducted in neonatal units demonstrated that HOCl helped control bacterial colonization while preventing fungal growth. The study reported no cytotoxic effects and no adverse reactions, even when used on highly sensitive skin. HOCl was found to be gentle enough for use near delicate areas such as the eyes, ears, and mouth, making it suitable for clinical environments where safety thresholds are extremely high.
This research was conducted in collaboration with Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters and focused on wound and skin cleansing in premature infants.

HOCl Atomizing: Stopping Cross-Contamination
Manual cleaning alone left bacteria on nearly half of the tested surfaces. However, when HOCl fogging was introduced, cross-contamination was eliminated.
Summary: Combining HOCl fogging with routine cleaning dramatically improves hospital safety. It kills more bacteria, prevents the spread of germs, and shortens the time required to achieve thorough disinfection.

Reduced Surface Bacteria in Daycare and School Environments
Summery:
Published research indicates that hypochlorous acid (HOCl) atomization can significantly reduce bacterial presence on surfaces in daycare and early education settings, where frequent contact increases transmission risk.
View Study
A microbiological analysis conducted in a nursery school environment found that atomized HOCl achieved a 99.99 percent reduction of surface bacteria within three hours. The study evaluated a range of commonly handled items, including toys and shared surfaces.
Results showed that porous materials such as rubber and fabric toys reached effective disinfection levels within one hour, while plastic surfaces required up to three hours. The findings suggest that HOCl atomization can reduce microbial load across varied materials without the need for continuous manual wiping.
The study was published in the Journal of Infection and Chemotherapy and reflects broader adoption of HOCl atomization in kindergarten and daycare facilities across Japan as a supplemental hygiene measure.
