Camp High Harbour Response to Flu Outbreak Includes Child-Safe SpectraSan 24

EPA-Approved Disinfectant Kills H1N1 Flu Virus, MRSA, Staph and Host of Other Organisms on Hard Surfaces

Special Offer to ACA Members

North Canton, Ohio (July 14, 2009) – In mid-June, almost one third of the weekly campers at YMCA Camp High Harbour in Clayton, Georgia left early because of signs of H1N1 flu-like symptoms or parental fears.

A representative of BioTech Medical LLC heard about the camp’s situation and was confident that his company’s newly-launched product – SpectraSan 24 – would help curtail the spread of illness.

On June 20, ten donated cases of SpectraSan 24 arrived and the camp’s maintenance staff was met by the rep who explained in detail the differences between "cleaning and disinfecting." 

The next day, the camp opened its doors to the new, weekly session of campers. The SpectraSan 24 daily disinfectant became one major component of several changes instituted at the camp to help keep the number of sick campers to a minimum. The four-fold response included environmental cleaning, respiratory and hand hygiene, active camper screening and pro-active communication.

Shortly thereafter, BioTech Medical received the following email: 

"We are halfway through the week, and no one has come to the infirmary with flu-like symptoms. 

In fact, we would like to purchase additional product for continuous disinfecting throughout the summer. We have sprayed the cabins, boats, life jackets, serving counters, buses and all meeting areas such as the dining hall, amphitheatre and chapel.

I believe this may have been a blessing. Your product has helped us with the Type A Influenza and with other viruses that commonly attack us every year such as strep throat, pink eye, etc.

This has been a life-changer.  Please feel free to share my name for any other camp directors inquiring about the product.

"There are 500 disinfectants on the market that kill the Swine Flu virus on hard surfaces, but NONE of them has the 24-hour residual efficacy of SpectraSan 24", stated Andrea Goren, executive director of North Canton, Ohio-based BioTech Medical. "It kills germs 20 times faster than traditional disinfectants on the market; it has the lowest toxicity rating assigned by the EPA, is non-corrosive, non-flammable, and completely safe for child care environments. It is EPA-approved and the first patented disinfectant in over 30 years."

 "In an extraordinary measure, BioTech Medical is offering up to a 35% savings on any purchases of SpectraSan 24 made by American Camp Association members through August 31, 2009. "We are committed to helping children across the country experience a happy and healthy summer," Goren added. "And this offer is merely a testimony to our commitment."
