The Sani System is an electromedical device for high-level sanitization in environments with a high risk of biological contamination (class IIA medical device for professional use). Fields of application: sanitisation dentist’s environment - sanitisation hospital environment - disinfection doctors’ surgeries - sanitisation dentists


Clinical studies of effectiveness

The following clinical studies prove the effectiveness of Sani System in reducing biological contamination of environments. They were carried out at major universities, hospitals and microbiological research centres in Italy and abroad.

  • Sanitising of hospitals and comparison with conventional disinfection methods at the Orthopaedics and Traumatology Unit and at the Microbiology Unit, San Carlo Borromeo Hospital, Milan, Italy

    Sani System proved to have an activity in respect of several gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria and various types of fungi. Its antimicrobial activity has been found on equipment, in rooms and on inert materials such as plastic, metal and glass. In standard operating conditions, carried out with Sani System leads to a reduction of the total microbial load by 91.6%, compared to 88.8% using conventional methods (sodium hypochlorite solution for all surfaces with the exception of metal surfaces, on which an 0.5 % polyphenol solution was used).


  • Evaluation of the reduction of the microbial load in a microbiology laboratory
    Istituto Cantonale di Microbiologia, Bellinzona, Switzerland

    Sanitisation with Sani System was found to be effective to reduce the bacterial load on a work surface previously contaminated with the following micro-organisms: Escherichia coli, coagualase-negative Staphylococcus, Klebsiella pneumoniaez and Proteus mirabilis.


  • Evaluation of activity on MRSA
    Istituto Cantonale di Microbiologia, Bellinzona, Switzerland

    The bactericidal activity of Sani System in respect of two strains of Methycillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) has been analysed on different kinds of surfaces. The use of Sani System for 30 seconds has proved to be effective in sanitising different materials such as stainless steel and melamine table tops, with a reduction of the bacterial load by 4 logarithms, while on ceramic surfaces, a bacterial residue was found for the most resistant strain of MRSA.


  • Efficiency of Polti Sani System in reducing microbial load on inanimate surfaces.
    Environment and Biotechnology Centre, Faculty of Life and Social Sciences, Swinburne University of Technology, Australia.

    The Polti Sani System has demonstrated its in vitro bactericidal and fungicidal effectiveness on various species responsible for nosocomial infections. After spraying it for 30 seconds, all the vegetative species tested were completely eradicated. In addition, spraying it for the same period of time (30 seconds) enabled 97 % of the spores of Bacillus subtilis to be eliminated.


  • Evaluation of the virucidal effectiveness (H1N1) of the Polti Sani System.
    Biolab Laboratory Biolab, Vimodrone (province of Milan), Italy

    The virucidal effectiveness of the Polti Sani System was evaluated in accordance with European standard EN 14476. The test, carried out by the Biolab Laboratory in Vimodrone (province of Milan) showed that the Sani System was even more effective than required by European standards in lowering the viral load of the H1n1 virus. Polti Sani System was able to lower the viral load by over 99.99 % in only 15 seconds, thus obtaining a reduction in excess of 4 logarithmic orders.


  • Testing the effectiveness of Polti Sani System for eliminating infestations due to Cimex lectularius
    Pest2000 & Pest3000, Pest Control Management Services, March 2010, Milan, Italy.

    Testing with the Sani System has been subdivided into two distinct steps : an in vitro analysis to test the effectiveness of the system on adult insects, nymphs and eggs and a field test for evaluating the impact of the instrument in actual situations. The laboratory tests demonstrated that the Sani System is capable of eliminating all the eggs and an extremely significant proportion of the mobile stages (adults and nymphs) in a single pass. Field tests demonstrated that Sani System has eliminated the Cimex infestation completely in a number of treatments (between two and three). The combined use of steam and HPMed also enabled the de-aggregation of the viscous substance that binds the eggs to surfaces, the removal of the typical smell of Cimex and the elimination of the traces due to excrements.
