Testing HVAC Implementation vs. In-room application of Cluster Ions to Inactivate Pathogens
● Three years ago in June we installed Inspired Tec’s PCO (Photo Catalytic Oxidation) technology
in 14 rooms of Patricia Wray's Critical Care Unit at a cost of approximately $20,000, with equip-
ment and installation costs.
● We are now due to replace all current cells expiring in less than 60 days with newly enhanced
cells producing 10 times as many cluster ions at a cost of $4,000.
● There is “0” maintenance cost on both systems except for replacing the cells every three years
at $273.00 per cell, or $91.00 per room, per year on both the HVAC system and the CLEAR in room
units. The initial cost for the CLEAR unit is $1196.00 per room which is a onetime expense.
We appreciate Keith Downey recently testing Inspired Tec’s
new cell technology in rooms T332 and T311. Check the

With the experienced success in reducing St. Francis Health’s
CFU’s, * our mission is to install Inspired Tec’s CLEAR unit in
Karen Hunt’s AICU wing to demonstrate reductions in HAI’s.
● These units provide 24/7 output of cluster ions at a lower cost than
UVC—with patients in their rooms.
● The investment in Inspired Tec's CLEAR unit is $1,196 per room with no
maintenance costs; except for the replacement of its PCO Cell every 3
years—which is less than ¼ the investment of the unit.
● The comparison of HVAC units and Inspired Tec’s CLEAR—with new cell
technology upgrades is certain to provide the most effective results in
reducing HAI’s.
● Our vendor, Inspired Tec, LLC, asserts their technology to be more effec-
tive, and at a lower cost, while utilizing safer technology in our quest for
superior air and surface purification.
