Bactericidal principle of hypochlorous acid
Hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is a naturally occurring substance that is part of the human body’s innate immune system. White blood cells produce HOCl to fight off infections. It is also a powerful yet gentle disinfectant. When compared to traditional disinfectants like bleach (sodium hypochlorite), hypochlorous acid has a significantly lower pH and a neutral charge. This unique chemical structure allows HOCl to penetrate the cell walls of bacteria, viruses, and fungi more effectively. Once inside, it disrupts the internal processes of these microorganisms, leading to their rapid inactivation.

Hypochlorous acid generator advantages
1. Surface Disinfection
Hospital surfaces, from patient rooms to operating theaters, are constantly at risk of contamination. Pathogens can survive on these surfaces for hours or even days. Hypochlorous acid generators provide a continuous and efficient solution for surface disinfection. They can produce a fine mist of hypochlorous acid solution, which can be easily spray onto surfaces. This mist covers every nook and cranny, ensuring that even hard – to – reach areas are disinfect. For example, in intensive care units (ICUs), where patients are most vulnerable, the regular use of hypochlorous acid for surface disinfection can greatly reduce the risk of healthcare – associated infections (HAIs).
2. Air Disinfection
The air in hospitals can also be a carrier of pathogens. Meanwhile, hypochlorous acid generators can be used in air – handling systems to disinfect the air. As the hypochlorous acid mist is release into the air, it reacts with airborne microorganisms, neutralizing them. This is especially crucial in areas such as waiting rooms, where there is a high volume of people coming and going. By disinfecting the air, hypochlorous acid generators help to create a cleaner and safer environment for everyone in the hospital.
3. Equipment and Instrument Disinfection
Medical equipment and instruments need to be thoroughly disinfect to prevent cross – contamination. Therefore, hypochlorous acid is gentle enough not to damage sensitive equipment, yet strong enough to kill a wide range of pathogens. It can be used to disinfect everything from stethoscopes and blood pressure cuffs to more complex surgical instruments. For instance, endoscopes, which are use for invasive procedures, require a high – level of disinfection. Hypochlorous acid can effectively disinfect endoscopes without leaving behind harmful residues, ensuring the safety of patients.
