Low Hanging Fruit:Anyone using alcohol based sanitizers.

They are already committed to sanitizer.

Alcohols’ efficacy is good for about 2 minutes.

You reapply Protec-4 every 4 hours.

We can save the customer money – 2 uses of

Protec-4 per 8 hours versus 8 or more for alcohol.

At less than 4 cents per application (less than a

penny an hour over an 8 hour workday), Protec-4

is very economical when compared on a daily

basis.

Protec-4 won’t dry their skin.

Better compliance with hand washing protocols.

Better hand sanitation usually means lower

absenteeism.

Selling Against Gloves:Almost every health department says the same

thing: They don’t like gloves either but their use is

driven by public perception.

Many studies have been done showing little or no

difference between hands that are frequently

washed versus using gloves.

Protec-4 is not a replacement for gloves –

HOWEVER! If your customer is using gloves, what

is going on inside that warm, moist atmosphere

around the hand? It’s a breeding ground for

bacteria.

Based upon various research conducted, the

incidences of breakage and leakage with vinyl and

plastic gloves is estimated to be between 15% and

70%.

With Protec-4 we can help drastically reduce the

threat of cross contamination.

We can help reduce the skin irritation frequently

associated with glove use.

Absenteeism:According to US Department of Labor Statistics,

the average employee is absent 10.4 days per

year.

We know that they are not typically sick for all ten

days. However, if we can reduce absenteeism by 2

days per year, the average employer with 500

employees can save over $60,000 per year after

the cost of Protec-4.

An employer with 50,000 employees can save over

$6,000,000 per year after the cost of Protec-4.

Using Protec-4 two times per day (8 hour workday),

5 days per week, 52 weeks per year, the average

annual cost of Protec-4 per employee is only

$18.20 Anecdotally, we have customers tell us they have

experienced a 15% to 30% drop in absenteeism.

Health Departments:Some potential customers may want you to seek

health department approval.

Health departments don’t typically approve

products.

Protec-4 is registered by the NSF (National

Sanitation Foundation) International. Companies

receive NSF registration by being deemed safe to

use in food prep areas. That can be restaurants,

hospital/assisted living kitchens, food

manufacturing plants, etc. All health departments

that Protec-4 has contacted directly recognize the

NSF registration.

FDA approval is not required for Protec-4 because

it is not considered a ‘new drug’.

Protec-4 is in compliance with the FDA OTC (Food

and Drug Administration Over-the-Counter)

Topical/Antiseptic Monograph.

The NSF process also includes a check to insure

compliance.

Health Departments:How are we in compliance?

o Active ingredient is on the FDA list as an

antiseptic hand wash.

o Inactive ingredients are listed in 21 CFR

(Code of Federal Regulations) 178 –

Indirect Food Additives: Adjuvants, Production

Aids, and Sanitizers as regulated for use as

a food additive with conditions for safe

use (all ingredients except Aloe).

o Listed in 21 CFR (Code of Federal

Regulations) 186 – Indirect Food

Substances affirmed as generally regarded

as safe for use in contact with food (Aloe).

Active Ingredient:Triclosan

Active ingredient has been used safely in the United

States for over 30 years.

Triclosan is considered an ‘antimicrobial’ and not an

‘antibiotic.’ o It’s effective on a wide variety of bacteria and

other microbes.o No ‘super bugs’ have been known to develop with

the use of Triclosan. Antimicrobial soaps and other OTC products such as

toothpaste often use Triclosan as their active ingredient. Active ingredient can be effective on ‘gram positive’ (bad

bacteria) and very often leaves ‘gram negative’ (good

bacteria) alone.

Hand Washing:

All healthcare professionals agree that

frequent hand washing is the best way to stop

the spread of germs.

We recommend following all appropriate hand

washing protocols as Protec-4 is not a

replacement for proper hand washing.

We also know that most people either do not

wash their hands often enough or wash them

LONG enough.

Additionally, soaps and alcohol sanitizers can

have a negative effect on hands – they can

dry hands out quickly.

This can create a disincentive to properly

wash hands.

Protec-4 is a lotion with Aloe and Coconut Oil.

When used as directed, Protec-4 can help

keep skin feeling smooth and moist.

This can help create incentive to follow all

hand washing protocols.

Health Care:CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention)

Guidelines recommend the use of alcohol sanitizers in

hospitals. This guidline was put in place before our

product was available.

Many health care facilities follow CDC guidelines due to

potential liability issues and to maintain scoring on

JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of

Healthcare Organizations) accreditation tests.

Guidelines also call for the use of hand lotions to help

offset the effects of contact dermatitis. HOWEVER, there

was a reported incident where regular lotion was found to

be a carrier of bacteria.

A key element of our lotion is that it also helps your skin

retain more of its own moisture in addition to having aloe

and coconut oil in the formula. Alcohol can be used on top of Protec-4 with no change in

efficacy.Guideline for Hand Hygiene in Health Care Settings

(October 25, 2002 Vol 51 No. RR-16) page 33-34

paragraph 5 A. recommendation: “Provide Healthcare

workers with hand lotions or creams to minimize the

occurrence of irritant contact dermatitis associated with

hand antisepsis or hand washing.”

“The most important

thing that you can do to

keep from getting sick is

to wash you hands.”- Centers for Disease Control

and Prevention

Simply Put:

Alcohol rubs, sanitizing wipes and

antibacterial soaps dry out the skin (by

removing natural oils) as they kill bacteria.

Common sense and personal practice

indicates that people with dry chapped

hands try to avoid further drying out of the

skin (washing) and the stinging effects of

alcohol.

Protec-4 moisturizes the skin while killing

bacteria – a simple effective solution.
