Occupants from a few persons to a building full generate fresh and oft infective microbe content, including many billions of the inventive and equally dominant virus – that cannot be caught by any air filter known to man. Their threatening distribution is common to any enclosure from the hospital to the airliner, other place of business or entertainment or the home whenever persons are breathing. Many conceive of microbe kill as a simple process: it is much more of a challenge than proposed with most any method in the marketplace today. We stress that millions become ill or die because of a lack of appreciation for this statement, especially in the healthcare arena. There is presently, in building or airliner air systems today, no objective method of kill-removing the devastating microbe at terminal rate.

HEPA filters of the ‘finest’ mesh cannot hold virus and smaller cellular life, all of which are extremely pathogenic from the common cold to any Flu variety. Filters capture larger organisms (mold spore) and other microbes, and become feed beds for all microbes, a culture fed by the air circulation system.

This is the primary source of hospital acquired airborne infection – improper, not simply inadequate, but totally improper technology and ancient outmoded as pre-Pasteur ‘prevention/cure of blood-letting'. Today in responsible hospitals rooms are wiped down daily with anti-microbial solution – while the HEPA system spreads its contaminate air death (MRSA, etc.) and infection to every nook and cranny thereof. Some airlines do ‘cleaning’ of the interior on a trip basis, when within seconds the ship interior is re-infected with new passenger loading, e.g., to be breathed by the new passenger and to contaminate every surface within seconds.

Products & Programs: Background

International standards of microbe kill dose used in current devices and methods was established by Lambertian values and the Inverse Square Law of light intensity. [Physicist Lambert expressed light intensity and defined these values mathematically and geometrically.] Though a physics principle, Lambertian dependency used throughout the world inventory of water and air ultraviolet ‘purification’ equipment, unavoidably includes fringe outcome as a result. This has incurred an excess world use of power, and globally common discrepancies of microbe kill achieved by ultraviolet. 

Below left, an early (circa 1994) MolecuCare device, the "Virucidal Chamber", dental/surgical gloved-hand sterilizer: this design lead to development of the Prosthetix© Article Sterilizer (right).

Above right, is the world’s only instant in-and-out, (6 second cycle) "first surface" sterilizer (all exposed surface only). This device does not require toxic agents as a kill-method to achieve sterilization: article "first surface" sterilization, however complex the surface may be, does not require high temperature energy, but operates at ambient room temperature. Developed for use in prosthetic and transplant surgical procedures (dental prosthetics and burrs, heart valve, Pacemaker, bone inserts, joint hardware, etc).

This unit was tested on dental prosthetics and small articles (syringes, glassware, and sundry hygienic, infant and personal care articles). Extended tests at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry acclaimed this device as "the best sterilizer performance ever studied". Named “Virucidal Chamber”, later renamed Prosthetix©, trials were delayed by the FDA as interrupted by MolecuCare for strategic reason and costs. MolecuCare is researching a market re-positioning of Prosthetix© for both public use (dentures, personal hygiene devices, infant ware and food containers) and physician care (stethoscope, mouthpieces, phlebotomy vials, IV components, etc), as an introduction to public healthcare in this era of microbial disease prevention awareness.  This unit is currently not in production.
