Revolutionary UVC + Ozone Shoe Sanitizing Station that eliminates up to 99.999% of the harmful pathogens

Uncomfortable Food Safety Question
How many environmental positives start with foot traffic?
We track:
• drains
• floors
• food contact surfaces
But do we track how contamination moves between those areas?
Employees walk through wet environments, sanitation zones, and corridors, then enter production areas. Shoes repeatedly contact the highest microbial load surfaces in the facility.
The UVZone advantage:
Rapid Cycles: Effective sanitation in seconds.
Standardized Hygiene: Every employee receives the same treatment.
Traffic Control: Hygiene becomes part of zone transitions.
Infrastructure Integration: No added labor required.
If zoning is critical to food safety…
Shouldn't footwear hygiene be part of the zoning strategy?

Most CCS frameworks under EU GMP Annex 1 cover HVAC, gowning, and surface disinfection. But one pathway is rarely documented: foot traffic.
Operators pass through every controlled zone and every step contacts the floor.
The advantages of automated footwear sanitation:
* Fixed Duration: Every sanitation cycle is identical.
* Hands-Free Compliance: Step on, step off.
* Standardized Process: Every operator receives the same treatment.
* Transition-Zone Control: Sanitation occurs at entry points between cleanroom areas.

The Case for Infrastructure-Level Hygiene:
Healthcare facilities rely on layered infection prevention strategies:
- hand hygiene
- surface disinfection
- equipment sterilization
Footwear is a known, but underappreciated vector. Add another layer of
environmental hygiene with UVZone®.
The advantages of an automated approach:
Predictable Cycles: Each sanitation exposure is identical.
Hands-Free Design: No added labor burden.
Entry-Point Control: Hygiene occurs at natural transition zones.
Operational Simplicity: Easily integrated into facility workflows.
Sometimes the most effective controls are the ones that operate
quietly in the background.

A Question for Cleanroom Professionals:
Air and surfaces get rigorous attention but what about personnel traffic pathways?
Footwear crosses gowning rooms, corridors, airlocks: every controlled zone. Yet floors are often overlooked as contamination reservoirs.
How does your contamination control team handle this?

Breaking the Transmission Pathway.
Hospital floors often become contaminated first.
Research has shown pathogens move from floors to socks to bedding to high-touch surfaces, mapping a clear contamination path in patient environments.
Hands-free Shoe Sanitation
Transition-Point Hygiene: Sanitation occurs before entering clinical areas.
Consistent Exposure: Every shoe sole receives the same treatment cycle.
Simple Compliance: Hands-free design enhances compliance.
Operational Continuity: No added labor or workflow disruption.
Sometimes the most overlooked vectors are the ones under foot.

Hospitals track hand hygiene compliance.
But who is tracking shoes?
Multiple studies show healthcare worker footwear frequently carries pathogens like MRSA and C. difficile. Shoes contact contaminated floors and then move through corridors, patient rooms, and nursing stations.
The advantages of an automated, hands-free approach:
1. Fixed Duration: Every sanitation cycle is identical.
2. Rapid Treatment: Effective shoe sanitation in seconds.
3. Hands-Free Use: Step on, step off.
4. Infrastructure Integration: Hygiene occurs naturally as staff move through the facility.
In environmental risk management, controlling how pathogens move can be just as important as controlling where they originate.

SQF Edition 10 shifts the conversation from reactive to proactive contamination prevention.
Foot traffic moving between facility zones is often overlooked.
The advantages of an automated footwear sanitation step:
1. Consistency: the same sanitation cycle for every employee
2. Zone Reinforcement: Transition points as clear hygiene checkpoints.
The Case for Data-Driven Footwear Control.
Annex 15 sharpens the focus on demonstrable and reproducible cleaning. When you integrate automated shoe sanitization, you aren't just "cleaning" - you're collecting data to support your Contamination Control Strategy (CCS).
The advantages of an automated approach:
- Fixed Duration: Every cycle is identical.
- No Residue: Eliminates complex cleaning validation for liquid carryover.
- Measurable Reductions: Supported by 3 to 5 log microbial reduction data.
Align your facility with the latest expectations by turning footwear decontamination into a quantifiable engineering control.

The conversation around cleanroom contamination control has evolved. Annex 15 and the Case for UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Stations.

Real results in the cleanroom. When it comes to USP compliance, personnel traffic is a top contamination risk. But how are you actually mitigating it?
AdventHealth took a proactive approach by adding the UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Station to their daily protocol. The result? Negative growth in both air and surface samples.
By addressing the "contamination gap" at the threshold, they’ve strengthened their environmental control and created a more robust, defensible inspection narrative.

The Annex 15 Advantage: Automated Validation.
Annex 15 demands that cleaning processes be reproducible and scientifically justified. Manual footwear methods (sprays/wipes) introduce too much variability for modern validation.
Why UVZone aligns with Annex 15:
Zero Variability: Automated 10-second cycles remove operator error.
No Residue: Eliminates the need for complex chemical carryover documentation.
Measurable Data: Provides a fixed, repeatable process that correlates with your EM trends.
Stop treating footwear as an afterthought. Turn it into a validated engineering control.

"Clean enough" doesn't pass a USP inspection.
Independent lab data shows that 10 seconds of footwear microbial reduction can achieve a 4-5 log reduction of high-risk pathogens, including:
- C. diff
- Candida auris
- Listeria
When environmental monitoring reveals recurring floor isolates, "more cleaning" isn't always the answer. Proven engineering controls provide the defensible data you need to satisfy regulators.

Don’t Let Your Healthcare Facility be a Step Behind
In 2014, the CDC estimated that on any given day, 1 in 25 hospitalized patients would develop at least one HAI.
From the beginning, Green Earth Medical Solutions (GEMS) has been a different kind of company. A company whose business is focused on prevention, not treatment. We use a 100% natural state-of-the-art disruptive technology and innovative products with the goal of reducing the spread of deadly healthcare-associated infections, and by so doing, saving as many lives as possible. And that’s why we created PathO3Gen Solutions.HAIs (Healthcare-Associated Infections) have become an all too common problem in today’s hospitals.
Many technologies aid in reducing the infections that cause large numbers of remittances and even death of patients. Unfortunately, the current protocol in healthcare is reactive and for many, that’s too late. Approximately 300 people die every day, over 100,000 annually. Today’s infection control programs such as hand hygiene, cleaning and disinfection – are not eliminating the number of HAIs coming into hospitals. And research from the University of Houston and others show contaminated footwear is a major source and transmitter of bacteria in hospitals.Until now, no one has taken a proactive approach to killing these deadly foot-borne pathogens.
The idea for PathO3Gen Solutions was born in 2009 through founder, Asher Gil, an aeronautical engineer, entrepreneur, and visionary with 30+ years’ experience inventing innovative products. After three years of product research, design and development, Asher collaborated with the Department of Cell Biology, Microbiology and Molecular Biology at the University of South Florida (USF) in Tampa, FL. While working together, they developed one of the first footwear sanitizing stations (FSS). The purpose of an FSS is to kill germs and sanitize the soles of shoes. However, our device used a proprietary and later patented technology. It combines UVC + Ozone (O3) to pe*****te the shell and denature the DNA, stopping replication. After several tests, USF “certified” the product prototype for its effectiveness and four patents were granted by the USPTO (the United States Patent and Trademark Office). Designed from the ground up, our devices’ sole purpose is to quickly reduce the microbial burden and its potential to spread HAIs in all healthcare facilities. See Our Product Page.
HAIs don’t just affect healthcare facilities. In the future, we will turn our focus to eradicating life-threatening superbugs in other industries. Hospitality, public buildings, manufacturing, and many others that conduct business in high traffic spaces. We’re passionate about saving lives, not just in the United States but, around the world.
