According to the EPA, there is growing evidentce that the Covid-19 virus can remain airborne for longer
times and further distances than originally thought. The EPA recommends increasing ventilation and air
filtration. Medical grade HEPA 13 filters are placed throughout our facilities and in every treatment room.
These filters remove 99.9% of airborne particles of size down to .01 micron, ensuring that no pathogen remains
in the air.

Some procedures generate aerosol and water droplets. In addtion to medical grade air filters, we use high
volume external suction systems in our treatment room during those procedures to eliminate the presence of
these potentially infectious fluids in the air. These units also contain UV light inside the unit to kill all
pathogens in the air that is drawn in.

Ultra Light Volume fogger allows fine droplets of disinfectant to be sprayed on every surface in the room.
In addition to our existing strict infection control protocols, we now spray our treatment rooms after each
patient. Our waiting room and bathrooms are periodically sprayed as well, so that all hard contact surfaces can
be safe to touch.

Care providers are tested weekly with a SARS-Covid-2 antibody rapid test kit. Antibody tests have an
accuracy rate of 90% and a 10 minute response time, giving us instant results before putting patients at risk
for infection.
