Sterilization You Can Count on
The FirstResponder® Triatomic Oxygen Generator and the SteriZAP™ UV-C Sterilizers (Ultraviolet Germicidal Light Sterilizers) are the strongest and most comprehensive methods for elimination of harmful pathogens. Both decontaminate with no harsh chemicals or residue.
FirstResponder® Triatomic Oxygen Generator
-
Produces high levels of ozone gas ions that completely destroys potentially harmful pathogens for EMS/Police/Fire vehicles, contained rooms, bunker gear, and EMS/Police gear.
-
After the ozone ion fumigation cycle finishes, the patented FirstResponder® Scrubber Technology removes all remaining ozone within minutes by converting it to oxygen, allowing fast and safer access to the sterilized vehicle/room and bunker gear/equipment.
-
Helps eliminate chronic odors.
SteriZAP™ Ultraviolet Germicidal Light
-
UVGL is a disinfection method that uses short-wavelength ultraviolet (UV-C) light to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting DNA replication.
-
UV-C works in seconds simply by exposing the infected area to UV-C light.
-
Disinfects surfaces in EMS vehicles, medical offices, hospital rooms, locker/restrooms, or any other contained area.
-
Helps eliminate odors.
What's on the Surface
We've done extensive testing, and the results are frightening. The FirstResponder® Triatomic Sterilizers produces high levels of ozone gas/ions that can reach every cubic inch within an EMS vehicle (ambulance, police, fire) and enclosed room (restroom, locker room, holding cell). Read below to learn more about our testing and results.

| Location | Pre-treatment * | Post-treatment * |
|---|---|---|
| Door Handle | 14 | 0 |
| Biohazard Container Top | 4,705 | 18 |
| Gurney Handle | 272 | 0 |
| Ceiling Handrail | 17 | 0 |

| Driver Steering Wheel | 24 | 0 |
Test #1
In-house testing using the Bio Reveal system SURE II™ ATP bioluminescence luminometer and Hygiena Ultrasnap™ swabs. As shown in Table 1, the highest Luminometer reading was 4,705 RLUs prior to FirstResponder® Sterilizer treatment, yet a reading over 30 is considered “surface contaminated” according to manufacturer. Post-treatment Luminometer readings were taken after FirstResponder® Sterilizer one hour treatment and readings show a dramatic reduction or elimination of surface contaminant as in Table 1 (all readings were done in triplicate to insure accuracy).
Test #2
Via a certified environmental consulting expert and a third party independent testing laboratory (Aerobiology Laboratory Associates, Inc., Golden, Colorado). Table 2. shows the elimination or dramatic reduction in species-specific bacterial contaminants. Samples were taken from 12 discreet locations inside an ambulance and immediately sent on ice to testing laboratory.

| BEFORE FirstResponder® | AFTER FirstResponder® | |
|---|---|---|
| Bacillus species | 6100 | 0 |
| Coag-negative Staphylococcus | 800 | 0 |
| Pseudomonas straminea | 195 | 0 |
| Roseomonas | 70 | 0 |
How does it work?
Ozone is a molecule made up of three atoms. Our First Resonder Ozone Sterilizers generate this ozone seen in step 3. This molecules is unstable however, so the extra oxygen atom readily bonds with viruses, bacteria, fungus, prions, etc., and causes holes to form in cell walls of organisms and viral coats, leading to rapid destruction of microbes. It's clean, it's natural, and it's efficient!
