EcaFlo Anolyte Registered with National Science Foundation

LITTLE RIVER, S.C. – Integrated Environmental Technologies, Ltd. announced the registration of EcaFlo Anolyte Excelyte with the National Science Foundation as a “D2” antimicrobial – an “antimicrobial agent not requiring rinse(ing)”.  EcaFlo Excelyte can be used to disinfect hospitals, universities, public school systems, medical and veterinary schools, cleaning services, food processing, athletic departments, veterinary clinics, medical research labs and professional sports teams as well as state, county, city and federal governments.            

The announcement allows for EcaFlo Excelyte to be marketed not only as a hard surface disinfectant, but also as a solution used to rinse fruits, vegetables and other food products prior to processing.  Because Excelyte has been proven effective against such pathogens as E. coli and Salmonella, the product has potential wide-reaching implications for the agriculture industry as a first line of defense against contamination.           

William E. Prince, president and CEO of IET said, “This latest registration, along with all the other recent announcements, proves that EcaFlo Anolyte is one of the most effective antimicrobial solutions available on the market.  That’s no longer just our opinion, it’s been validated by the federal agencies responsible for regulating such products.  We have already received multiple inquiries from grocery chains and others involved in food processing asking about how to obtain Excelyte - we believe it will only continue to grow as more federal and regulatory recognition is gained.”           

IET is actively pursuing FDA 510(k) approval for the product for use as a topical disinfectant for use in critical and semi-critical patient treatment areas and patient care devices, and will continue to seek governmental and federal approvals wherever applicable.  For more information on EcaFlo® Excelyte®, visit www.ietecaflo.com, www.excelyte.com, or call 843.390.2500.
