On October 2, 2012, BioNeutral Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced, jointly with Barnabas Health of West Orange, New Jersey, the results of an initial collaborative research program (the “Research Program”). A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The White Paper
In conjunction with Company’s announcement Barnabas Health issued a White Paper describing the Research Program and its results which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Exposures to blood and/or body fluids from used surgical instruments continue to occur on a daily basis. Other than engineering and work practice controls, there is little else available to protect healthcare workers responsible for cleaning used instruments. This Research Program was performed to determine the feasibility of using a disinfectant/sterilant chemical as a pre-treatment for used surgical instruments to protect healthcare workers from exposure to blood and/or body fluids when processing contaminated surgical instruments. The Research Program included using the chemical in a variety of settings including exposure to human blood that had dried for twelve (12) hours. The results of the Research Program confirm that the Ygiene 206 chemical may be used to disinfect surgical instruments as a precursor to cleaning and prior to terminal sterilization.
In this Research Program of about fifty (50) surgical instruments conducted at Saint Barnabas Medical Center, a Barnabas Health facility, Ygiene 206 Sterilant was shown to effectively remove microorganisms in the presence of blood from contaminated surgical instruments in 90 seconds to two minutes. In this controlled and limited study, Ygiene 206 was effective as a disinfectant in the presence of blood on surgical instruments even when the surgical instruments were grossly soiled and remained in the closed position.
