Note: Laboratory testing shows that, when cleaned regularly, antimicrobial copper alloys kill greater than 99.9% of the following bacteria within 2 hours of exposure: MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli O157:H7. Public health claims are only permitted against the five above bacteria. Antimicrobial copper alloy surfaces are a supplement to and not a substitute for standard infection control practices and have been shown to reduce microbial contamination, but do not necessarily prevent cross contamination; users must continue to follow all current infection control practices.
Disclaimer: As of now "Germ Smart" Patches are positioning to be marketed with public health claims based on the EPA registration of antimicrobial copper alloys.
