The Arrow Hart (TM) line from Cooper Industries and CuVerro(R) when cleaned regularly, kills more than 99.9% of bacteria (MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli O157:H7) in a laboratory within 2 hours and continues to kill 99% of this same bacteria even after repeated contamination. Antimicrobial Copper has been registered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a surface that continuously kills those same exact bacteria within 2 hours.
CuVerro(R) touch surfaces are made of 100% copper-based alloy, and have a professional medical grade appearance that is tarnish resistant. Antimicrobial Copper continuously kills bacteria between touches and regular cleaning. The EPA states that standard environmental services cleaning protocols, along with hand-washing, must still be followed.
