Anti-viral & anti-bacterial screen protector suitable for Siemens SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0): continuous and automatic disinfection of the display

Neoxum virucidal and microbially active display films are tested according to DIN ISO 21702 or DIN ISO 22196 against

Corona viruses (SARS-CoV-2) Noroviruses Adenoviruses Influenza viruses Staphylococcus Aureus bacteria E.Coli Bacteria Many nosocomial hospital germs

Why anti-virus and anti-bacteria protective film when there are disinfectants?

Any disinfection of a surface only works until the next person touches or contaminates that surface. And this is exactly where the permanently virucidal and microbially active display film from Neoxum comes into play: the active coating continuously kills pathogens and germs and steadily reduces the viral or bacterial load. Up to 99.9% of germs are killed within around 30 minutes. In this way, the Siemens SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0) display is permanently disinfected without having to be disinfected with a disinfectant after each touch. Ideal for use in the food sector, e.g. on displays of scales, in nursing homes, retirement homes, in doctor's offices, on tablets of field staff, signature pads, e-health terminals and payment terminals and touchscreens of coffee machines in companies. But school tablets can also be effectively kept hygienic to prevent the transmission of pathogens.

The germicidal (and harmless) effect takes effect immediately and within a few minutes up to 99.9% of the viruses and bacteria on the Siemens display are killed - continuously after contamination

Anti-viral effectiveness

Within a few minutes up to 99.9% of the pathogens on the surface of the touchscreen display protection film for Siemens SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0) are inactivated. The following graphic clearly shows that, for example, 99.9% of the corona viruses were destroyed after just 15 minutes. Influenza viruses, which can cause severe influenza, are 99.9% killed after just around 3 minutes of contact with the anti-viral display film. Diarrhea pathogens, such asThe norovirus is 99.9% eliminated after a good 5 minutes of direct contact. An infection with the norovirus is therefore quite unlikely, as there is now a significantly lower viral load on the display.

Antibacterial effectiveness

Even bacteria such as E. coli, also known as coli bacteria, which cause dangerous urinary tract infections, cause blood poisoning and are feared as the cause of nosocomial hospital infections, are 99.9% eliminated after around 5 minutes. Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus = MRSA) is a feared multi-resistant hospital germ that sometimes leads to inflammation or purulent ulcers, severe wound infections of open wounds, especially after operations, inflammation of individual organs of the human organism, such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia or bloodstream infections, and even severe sepsis (= medical emergency) (source: BZgA).

Antiviral and antibacterial activity tested according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196

The antiviral and disinfecting antimicrobial effect has been proven and validated by accredited testing laboratories according to DIN ISO 21702 and DIN ISO 22196. Details of the test reports are available for download. Please contact us!

How long does the corona virus survive on surfaces?

Statement by the RKI (Robert Koch Institute) on the topic of disinfection of PC hardware and touch displays

In its statement of April 5, 2019, the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) describes the importance of touch-sensitive screens and computers in the chain of infection:

" The use of computers and devices that are operated via touchscreen is everyday life in healthcare facilities, including in patient-related environments. Since keyboards and touchscreens are surfaces that are often touched by hand, they represent a possible route for the transmission of pathogens [...] and should therefore be taken into account in the hygiene plan [...]. "

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

The following figure illustrates, according to a recent study by the CSIRO (Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation) from October 2020, that the SARS-CoV-2 virus survives on various surfaces for a longer period of time and remains infectious.

Mechanism of action of the antibacterial and antimicrobial screen protector for Siemens SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0)

The surface of the durable screen protector suitable for Siemens SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0) is equipped with a patented virucidal and bactericidal coating. Disinfectants and chemicals that may trigger allergies are completely avoided. Instead, the antiviral and antibacterial effect of copper, which has been known since ancient times, is relied upon.

Antiviral and antimicrobial activity of copper

Copper ions, embedded in an extremely robust coating, react with the oxygen that is always present in the air and produce reactive oxygen species.

If pathogens such as bacteria or viruses, such as

coronaviruses noroviruses adenoviruses influenza viruses Staphylococcus aureus bacteria E. coli bacteria many nosocomial pathogens

come into direct contact with the active coating of the display foil for Siemens SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0), a so-called redox reaction is triggered: oxygen molecules from the ambient air react with the copper ions embedded in the antiviral and antibacterial active layer and form virulent or bactericidal active intermediate species that effectively attack and destroy the protein shell of virus and bacterial proteins. The now exposed virus mRNA (RNA) or bacterial RNA is also immediately attacked and inactivated and is no longer infectious.

Permanent disinfecting activity on the Siemens SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0) display

The reactive copper ions change their so-called oxidation levels between copper I and copper II in the virucidal reaction. However, the active copper ions are not used up, but are available again for the continuous disinfection of the Siemens touchscreen display surface. In this context, the surface disinfecting effect is actively virucidal and bactericidal for up to 12 months and automatically denatures viruses and bacteria within a few minutes without the use of additional disinfectants.

How can pathogens be transmitted?

In smear infection and contact infection via touch display, pathogens are passed on through contact with hands contaminated with viruses and bacteria.

Immediate transmission of pathogens from person to person

If a person infected with the flu or influenza virus sneezes into the palm of their hand, a huge number of infectious pathogens remain on the palms. The infectious germs can then be transmitted from person to person, for example when shaking hands. If this person brings the contaminated hands to their mouth, nose or eyes, the entry points for pathogens, this person could become infected with the pathogen.

Transmission of pathogens via contact surfaces of touchscreens and touch displays

Pathogenic viruses and bacteria can stick to touchscreen displays. It is not only medical and health facilities such as hospitals and clinics, nursing homes and retirement homes that are exposed to the increased risk of infection with pathogens. Viruses and bacteria can also survive on screens of

mobile phones point of sale kiosks, ticket and card machines portable payment systems cash registers school tablets coffee, snack and drinks machines

and infect the user.

Touchscreens have become an indispensable part of our everyday lives. Every time the SIMATIC HMI MTP700 Unified Comfort (6AV2128-3GB36-0AX0) touch panel is touched, a small amount of grease is transferred from the finger.

Infectious people also face the risk of transmitting pathogens via the infection vector via the touch display, which should not be underestimated. In the operational environment, there are coffee machines, drinks machines, machine control panels, touch terminals and many other touch screens. During the working day, the touchscreen is used by different people

Neoxum antiviral and antibacterial display films are also effective against many other pathogens
