With the resurgence of tuberculosis (TB) cases in the United States, healthcare professionals, facility managers, and janitorial staff are seeking solutions to curb the spread of this persistent bacterium. Vital Oxide (EPA Reg. No. 82972-1), is a disinfectant that provides a reliable solution for eliminating Mycobacterium bovis-BCG, the surrogate organism used in disinfectant efficacy testing against TB.

A One-Step Disinfecting Solution

Unlike traditional disinfectants that require multiple steps for proper application, Vital Oxide is a hospital-grade disinfectant that cleans, eliminates odors, and disinfects hard, nonporous surfaces in one step on previously cleaned surfaces. It effectively eliminates tuberculosis-causing bacteria and other harmful microorganisms, including viruses and fungi, with no rinsing required.

Tuberculocidal Claims

Under the EPA’s stringent disinfectant guidelines, Vital Oxide meets the criteria for tuberculocidal efficacy with a contact time of 10 minutes. This designation confirms its effectiveness against hard-to-kill pathogens, making it a trusted solution for hospitals, healthcare facilities, schools, public transportation, and other high-traffic areas.

Suitable for Daily Use

Vital Oxide is non-corrosive and does not produce harmful fumes, making it safe for frequent use in enclosed spaces. It is also free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), ensuring safer air quality for facility occupants and cleaning staff.

Proactive TB Prevention with a Proven Disinfectant

With tuberculosis cases on the rise, facility managers and cleaning professionals must take proactive measures to mitigate its spread. Vital Oxide is an industry-leading solution for infection control to help break the chain of infection high-touch surfaces.
