The recent outbreak in China has created heightened societal awareness around health and wellness.  We’re being asked a lot about the new Coronavirus and whether or not we can help.  The most important thing to recognize about this pathogen is that it is new, and hence, has not been studied anywhere near as much as the other infections we’re more familiar with.  This results in a lot of fear because people don’t like uncertainty.  However, the CDC has recently issued very sensible advice for Coronavirus: wash your hands with soap and water, and if this is not possible, sanitize with an sanitizer gel with at least 60% alcohol.

Our products (PullClean & TurnClean) are designed to make hand sanitization easier in order to reduce the harm and cost caused by avoidable infections.  Our sanitizer is 70% alcohol and while we follow the CDC’s advice in suggesting people concerned about Coronavirus wash their hands with soap and water wherever possible, we’d be proud to help any organization that wants to help increase rates of hand sanitization by installing our products on their doors.

At this time of heightened concern, if you want to increase your organisation’s barriers to infection and increase the opportunities for your customers and staff to sanitize their hands, please get in touch by calling us at 1-888-959-0211 or sending us an e-mail at customersupport@altitudemedical.com for special offers.

Our CountClean product is in use in hospitals, universities and aged care facilities across the country, but we are now seeking to expand its use into the services industry. CountClean uses patented technology to produce rich, ongoing, and highly useful data on rates of hand sanitization. We believe that CountClean enabled handles could have a dramatic effect on staff hand hygiene where the handle is positioned so as to maximise use. We are interested in working with partners who prioritize hand hygiene and would like to supplement their current audit approach with 24/7 monitoring of hand hygiene. Please get in touch!

We were delighted to receive a full and highly positive writeup in the Plain Dealer, Ohio’s largest daily newspaper.

A quick note to remind everyone that we’ll be at the National Restaurant Association show again in Chicago on the 18th to 21st of May. We’re on booth 10166 and looking forward to discussing how TurnClean and PullClean can improve hand sanitization in your restaurant (and sports bar, and coffee shop, and kitchen…). If you would like to book a meeting with one of our sales team, please get in touch.

After a very successful run in London’s Science Museum, the Superbugs: The Fight for Our Lives exhibition will tour India and China. PullClean is featured as a design solution that could help prevent Anti-Microbial Resistance (AMR). PullClean, and our related CountClean hand sanitization monitoring product, are described as ‘elegant solutions to the problem of hand hygiene’.

We are delighted to announce that our new TurnClean product has been given a limited release and we now have test units running at 50 sites nationwide. TurnClean fits over the handle over turning handles, making installation very easy. TurnClean handles are suitable for single-stall restrooms and with PullClean, mean that we are able to offer full hand sanitization solutions to all facilities.

Altitude Medical’s OpenClean Technologies showed off a device that actually sanitizes hands as guests and employees leave the restroom. The PullClean sanitizing doorhandle — made for push multi-stall restrooms —  and the TurnClean sanitizing doorhandle —  designed for locked single-stall restrooms —  assist with a critical food safety component: hand hygiene.
The company’s CountClean technology offers real-time remote monitoring for hand-sanitizing compliance in restaurants and virtually all public restrooms, after initial introduction in hospitals, the company said.

OpenClean Technologies an Altitude Medical company is pleased to announce their most advanced solution for sanitizing your hands as you leave the restroom. OpenClean Technologies consists of PullClean a sanitizing door handled designed for push multi-stall restrooms and newly introduced TurnClean a sanitizing door handled designed for locked single-stall restrooms.

Invented by Altitude Medical UK co-founders, Dr Alex Oshmyanksy and Dr Jake McKnight, when they were students at the University of Oxford, PullClean encourages people to clean their hands every time they enter and exit a room, making hand hygiene simple and trackable.
