Fully-Automated Handwashing System kills germs for up to six hours
    for the improved protection of patients and healthcare workers.
GOLDEN, Colo.--(Business Wire)--Meritech, a division of Resurgent Health and Medical and the
leader in automated handwashing and sanitizing technology, announced
today that Buttercup Dental is now using the CleanTech(R) 500EZ
Automated Handwashing System. The dentists and staff are using the
system to make handwashing quick and easy. The CleanTech system
increases staff compliance for an effective and sanitary hand hygiene
program.

   "The safety, cleanliness, and sanitation of our office is a top
priority and by using the CleanTech system, we are assured we are
practicing proper hand hygiene at all times," said Dr. Darrell Park of
Buttercup Dental. "We have embraced a modern approach to dental care
and utilize the latest technologies available - the CleanTech system
is another step towards providing the best practices for our patients.
The machine is automated and easy to use."

   The touchless system performs a fully-automated fifteen-second
wash, sanitize and rinse cycle. Using Meritech's proprietary
Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CHG) sanitizing solution, the single cycle
removes over 99.9% of pathogens and continues to kill germs for up to
six hours. The FDA certified CHG-based sanitizer contains mild skin
conditioners to improve skin health while removing dangerous
pathogens.

   The system further boosts compliance by ensuring a pleasant,
uniform handwash using high-pressure water jets that perform a
consistent wash-and-sanitize cycle every time the machines are used.
