Anti-Corona screen protector suitable for ICP AFL-12A-N270

Neoxum anti-viral and antimicrobial effective screen protectors are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

• Many nosocomial hospital germs
• SARS-CoV-2 viruses
• Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria
• Adenoviruses
• Influenza viruses
• E. Coli
• Noroviruses

Why anti-virus display film when there are disinfectants?

Every disinfection of a surface is only good until the next person touches or contaminates the surface. And this is exactly where Neoxum's long-term antiviral or anti-microbial display film comes into play: the effective coating continuously kills viruses and bacteria and continuously reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of pathogens are killed within a matter of minutes.

99.9% of viruses and bacteria are deactivated within a period of a few minutes

Anti-viral activity

Within a few minutes, up to 99.9% of germs are inactivated on the anti-viral and anti-bacterial coated protective film for ICP AFL-12A-N270. The following figure clearly shows that, for example, 99.9% of the Covid-19 viruses on the surface were inactivated after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza disease, are 99.9% inactivated after just 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral touch film. Diarrhea pathogens such as the norovirus are decimated by 99.9% after just 5 minutes of direct contact.

Antibacterial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which trigger dangerous diseases of the urinary tract, pathogens of sepsis and are feared as the cause of nosocomial infections, are reliably inactivated by 99.9% after 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a multi-resistant hospital germ that sometimes leads to swelling or accumulation of pus, severe wound infections, especially after operations, inflammation of selected bodily organs of the organism, for example urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even severe sepsis (medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The anti-viral and disinfecting effect within minutes was tested and validated by accredited testing laboratories in accordance with DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196. Details can be found in the test reports.

Survival time of the coronavirus on various contact surfaces

Statement by the RKI on the importance of disinfecting PC hardware and touch displays

The RKI already describes the importance of touchscreens and computers in the chain of infection in its statement of April 5, 2019:

New research results from the CSIRO (Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research)

The following figure explains, according to a cutting-edge Research by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) = Australia's government agency for scientific and industrial research) from October 2020 shows that the COVID-19 virus can survive on various surfaces for a longer period of time and remains virulent.

Viral and bacteria-killing effect

Based on the antiviral and antimicrobial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, a proven disinfectant surface coating is created that inactivates viruses and bacteria very quickly without the use of chemicals.

Antiseptic and anti-bacterial activity of copper

Copper ions, included in an incredibly robust matrix, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and produce active oxygen molecules.

If pathogens such as Bacteria or viruses (Noroviruses, Adenoviruses, Influenza viruses, E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, many nosocomial pathogens or SARS-CoV-2 virus) in contact with the active anti-viral and antibacterial layer of the protective film for ICP AFL-12A-N270, a so-called reaction is set in motion. Oxygen molecules from the air interact with the copper ions, included in the anti-viral and anti-bacterial coating, and develop quite bactericidal active intermediate molecules that attack and destroy the protein shell of viruses and bacterial proteins extremely effectively. The exposed viral mRNA (RNA), or bacterial RNA, is accessible and immediately destroyed. Many nosocomial pathogens, Adenoviruses, SARS-CoV-2, Escherichia Coli, influenza viruses, noroviruses and Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria are effectively killed and are no longer contagious.

Constant decimation of pathogens on the ICP AFL-12A-N270 screen

The reactive Cu ions change their so-called oxidation states between copper I and copper II in the virus-killing reaction. The active Cu ions are by no means exhausted, but are once again available for the continuous disinfection of the ICP industrial panel touchscreen surface. The self-disinfecting activity is actively bactericidal for up to a year.

Transmission routes of infections

Direct transfer of pathogens from person to person

If a person suffering from the flu virus sneezes into their hand, the virulent bacteria stick to the palms of their hands. If the infected person now shakes hands with another person, the viruses could be transmitted further. If this person then puts their own hand to their mouth, nose or eyes, they can become infected with the pathogen via the mucous membranes.

Transmission of the SARS-CoV-2 virus via displays

SARS-CoV-2 viruses are even found on objects. Not only care institutions such as hospitals, nursing homes and retirement homes are exposed to the increased risk of Covid-19 infection.Screens of TV sets, mobile phones, vending machines, mobile payment systems, cash registers, school tablets and POS kiosks are also contaminated with viruses and bacteria.

Germs are passed on via the hands. We undoubtedly touch our faces with our hands several times a day. Bacteria and viruses now migrate unintentionally from the contaminated surface of the ICP AFL-12A-N270 via the hands to the mouth, nose and eyes. Pathogens such as the corona virus are thus transmitted.

Neoxum Anti-Covid-19 and antimicrobial films can also be used against many other pathogens.
