EHPL – ERIS

EHPL Overview

EHPL Overview

Today we are facing greater health challenges than ever before. The cost of healthcare has also been experiencing a constant rise. We at Eris believe that it’s every individual’s fundamental right to access healthcare to its fullest, and to be able to do this, Eris Lifesciences has launched a new Venture – Eris Healthcare Pvt. Ltd. (EHPL).

Under this venture, we are launching 15+ categories which cover Acute, Chronic, Over the counter (“OTC”), i.e., non-prescription products, health parameters measurement devices, surgical /disposable medical products, etc. As part of the phase 1 launch, we will be introducing more than 100 different products by May-June 2020.

FAQs FUMIGATION TABLET

How is the product to be used?
- 20 gm tablet is to be put in 500ml water in plastic containers (not less than 200ml of water).
- Room to be closed & left for 3 hours at least, preferably overnight where and when possible like offices, schools, hospitals, etc.
- 15 minutes of ventilation to be done after a specified time and the room is ready to use.
- For ventilation open all widows and on the fan, if it is closed room then on the AC for 15 minutes.
- After ventilation of 15 minutes room would be ready for use.
What kind of precautions are to be followed while using it – if any?
- Avoid entering the room when the fumigation cycle is ongoing.
- In case it is required to enter the room for a brisk time, cover your mouth-nose with a cloth and enter the room.
- 15 minutes of ventilation to be done after a specified time and the room is ready to use.
- To use the room in urgency, tie your nose-mouth properly with cloth, take the container water and discard in flush, toilet, ventilate the room and toilet for 15 min and initiate to reuse the room.
What is the size of the room this can decontaminate?
- Each 20 gm tablet for 100 ft2, (or 1000ft3 taking 10ft of height, length, and width)
Germicidal Coverage claim:
- Chlorine dioxide gas is effective and can be used to destroy or eliminate all forms of microbial life including fungi, viruses, and all forms of bacteria and their spores. Spores are considered to be the most difficult form of the microorganism to destroy. Therefore, EPA considers the term Sporicide to be synonymous with ‘Sterilizer’.
National & International recommendations:
- Chinese Pharmaceutical Association – Expert consensus on Guidance and prevention strategies – For Surface sanitation and air fumigation.
- Beijing Capital International Airport recommendation – surface sanitization.
- China National Health commission
- US-EPA – United States – Environment Protection Agency – List N: Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2
- The safety of the product is well established and tested for: Oral toxicity, Dermal irritation, Dermal toxicity, Eye irritation
- The company has an NSF (National Sanitization Foundation) certificate – hence the product by this company is attested by the American body for its effectiveness.
- The product is tested for efficacy in India by Shriram Institute of Industrial Research, Haffkine institute, IIT-Kharagpur and Roorkee
How exactly does this tablet work?
- The antimicrobial effect of ClO2 is due to the oxidation of a critical tryptophan residue of the viral protein hemagglutinin. Indeed, these findings are consistent with the observation that ClO2 can oxidize and denature proteins by modifying their tryptophan and tyrosine residues.
How long does the room stay disinfected once I have used the product?
- The currently used techniques disinfect the room or premise – once the room starts being inhabited, it has theoretically started to reduce viral – bacterial load.
- The only method of continuous sterilization known to us currently is a gel that releases Cl02 gas at the level that can kill microbes, virus and is still safe for humans incubating the place, details of this product to be sought.
What are the precautions that need to be taken while using the product?
- Precautions to be taken while putting the tablet in water:
  Put the tablet immediately in water once upon, wash your hands with soap-water once the tablet is put in water, avoid touching the hands used for removing the tablet to eyes, mouth, nose, and other parts of the body, avoid giving it to children, in case of contact with eyes, mouth, nose or other delicate body parts – wash immediately with soap water or plain water
What happens if I inhale some of the gas being produced by accident?
- Lung damage, manifested by bronchitis, bronchiolitis, or small areas of hemorrhagic alveolitis, appears to develop at 2.5 ppm (7.0 mg/m3 ) or more following repeated exposure for 7 h/day for 1 month and at 10 ppm (28 mg/m3) or more for 15 min twice per day for 4 weeks, with dose-dependent severity. World Health Organization Geneva, 2002 – Our product produces 2 ppm in air and the complete fumigation cycle is not more than 3 hours – so the exposure levels are very less than that may cause any harm.
Can the product cause any allergic reactions?
- The following acute (short-term) health effects may occur immediately or shortly after exposure to Chlorine dioxide.
- Contact can irritate skin and eyes causing watery eyes and seeing halos around lights.
- Breathing Chlorine dioxide can irritate the nose and throat causing coughing and wheezing.
- Breathing Chlorine dioxide can irritate the lungs causing coughing and shortness of breath. Higher and very long term exposure can cause a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema), a medical emergency with severe shortness of breath.
- It is difficult to predict who will develop allergies to any product. It is said that one can develop an allergy to anything under the sun, including the sun.
Is the product contraindicated for any specific class of people?
- No
Are there any precautions I need to take after I have touched the product?

Does this product kill the Coronavirus? Specifically, does it kill the COVID-19 virus?
- All that we know is that the molecule ClO2 is mentioned by US EPA List N as a disinfectant for use against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19.
Can I use this product to spray/wipe hard surfaces (including the floor) to clean them and disinfect them – if so how?
- Yes – this is indeed the best and most economical way to wipe new age viruses such as the SARS-COV-2 from surfaces. 1g tablet dissolved in 500ml water (for surface sterilization quantity ml ratio is different and as mentioned) – Spraying this solution or mopping on the surface can be claimed to remove SARS-COV-2. This is supported by US-EPA, Expert Consensus on Guidance and Prevention Strategies for Hospital Pharmacists, and the Pharmacy Workforce – Chinese Pharmaceutical association.
How safe is CD Gas?
- The very reason decontaminating agents are used is for the purpose of killing organisms. As such, no such agent can be truly said to be 100% safe. However, chlorine dioxide gas is the safest fumigant available, due to its physical attributes and process advantages.
Does CD Gas leave a residue?
- No, chlorine dioxide gas does not leave a residue after decontamination. One of the first commercial uses for chlorine dioxide gas was to sterilize intraocular lenses (implanted contact lenses). As such, it had to be proven that no residue was left after sterilization.
Doesn’t CD Gas form hydrochloric acid in the water?
- Chlorine dioxide gas does not react with water. It stays as chlorine dioxide in water, allowing it to kill organisms in the water and on the surface beneath. Chlorine dioxide is different than chlorine (which does react to form hydrochloric acid) just like carbon dioxide is different from carbon. Hydrochloric acid cannot be formed when using a pure chlorine dioxide as we do.
Is CD Gas explosive?
- Not at use concentrations. Chlorine dioxide gas is potentially explosive at high concentrations in a dry environment with an ignition source. Tablet does not generate chlorine dioxide gas at these high concentrations, so there is no danger of explosion when using our process. The use concentration is 250 times less than the explosive level.
Can you smell CD Gas?
- Yes, and the fact that chlorine dioxide gas has an odor is a benefit. The odor threshold is the same as the 8-hour safety threshold, so the user can start to detect chlorine dioxide gas while still at safe levels.
Can CD Gas be used in BSL-3 and BSL-4 facilities?
- Yes, many BSL-3. BSL-3Ag and BSL-4 facilities worldwide use chlorine dioxide gas for their decontamination process. In the United States, many of the Regional Biosafety Labs use chlorine dioxide gas as well.
Why use CD Gas for room decontamination?
- Remove the human factor from the decontamination process
- Reduce human exposure to disinfecting agents
- Reduce overall decontamination time due to short aeration times
- The only method that offers a complete kill
- No measurable residuals unlike formaldehyde
- Non-carcinogenic unlike formaldehyde or VPHP (confirmed animal carcinogen according to the ACGIH)
Is chlorine dioxide a carcinogen?
- No, there is no data to support that chlorine dioxide gas is a carcinogen. In fact, chlorine dioxide is used for treating drinking water and disinfecting a variety of food products.
Why use CD Gas, it has a low safety limit?
- Chlorine dioxide gas does have a 0.1 ppm 8-hour threshold, but chlorine dioxide gas provides a better safety factor due to its low odor threshold, making it possible to detect at low levels without sensing equipment. Chlorine dioxide gas has a much quicker cycle time, shortening the overall time that potentially unsafe conditions exist. VPHP and formaldehyde both have longer cycle times, where the unsafe levels exist for a longer time. Chlorine dioxide gas is also used at much lower concentrations than both formaldehyde and VPHP. Combined with the fact that chlorine dioxide gas has a quicker aeration time, this means that in case of an emergency, chlorine dioxide gas can be aerated to safe levels faster than formaldehyde and VPHP.
How is chlorine dioxide better than others?
- Our generation process creates pure chlorine dioxide, something that other manufacturers cannot say. Other methods generation of chlorine dioxide creates harmful by-products such as hydrochloric acid, chlorine, and chlorous acid along with the chlorine dioxide, which can affect materials within the space being decontaminated.
How fast are typical cycle times?
- Our chlorine dioxide gas systems offer short cycle times for all applications.
