Frequently Asked Questions
Clinical Use & Compatibility
What is Breezy Blue™?
Breezy Blue™ (Breezy) is a touchless whole-room disinfection system that applies aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP) to disinfect hospital rooms, equipment and facilities. It removes greater than 99.9% of pathogens, neutralizes odors, and is operated at the push of a button.
How does Breezy work?
Breezy emits a dry fog (micron-sized particles) of aHP disinfectant that fills a room and uniformly covers all surfaces—including hard-to-reach areas, equipment and fabrics—without leaving residue or moisture. Fogging cycles typically last between 30 seconds to 120 seconds and are followed by a 10-minute contact time.
Within which areas of a hospital can Breezy be used?
Breezy is suitable for:
| Physical Space | Application |
| Patient rooms | Terminal cleaning, particularly for enhanced disinfection after isolation patient discharge |
| Equipment rooms | Deep disinfection of multiple pieces of equipment during one-hour aHP cycle |
| ORs, Emergency Departments, PACUs, Sterile Processing Departments | Deep disinfection of entire space during regular decontamination cycles when unoccupied |
| Restrooms, waiting rooms, break rooms and other shared spaces | As part of regular cleaning, when closed |
| Ambulances and mobile care units | Rapid disinfection between transport patients or between shifts |
Can Breezy be used during clinical downtime or within a short turnover window?
Yes. Most spaces are ready for reentry within 20 to 30 minutes (including 10 minutes of fogging contact time and 10 to 20 minutes of ventilation).
Can Breezy be used in occupied areas?
No. Breezy should not be used in actively occupied spaces. It is designed for use between patients, during shift changes, or when spaces are unoccupied.
Is Breezy safe to use around electronics and medical equipment?
Yes. The dry fog is non-corrosive, leaves no residue, and is safe around monitors, electronics, and medical equipment.
What PPE is required during fogging?
No PPE is required while fogging if you remain outside the room. If reentering within 10 minutes after fogging, wear eye protection and a mask.
Efficacy, Compliance & Safety
What chemicals can be used within Breezy Blue™?
Breezy BioCare™ RTU and Breezy BioPure™ RTU. Both are available from Breezy Med or your local distributor.
What pathogens does Breezy BioCare™ RTU kill?
Breezy BioCare™ RTU is registered with the EPA (Reg. No. 90748-1) and has been tested in a third-party laboratory adhering to the Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) regulations. The following pathogens were tested and are registered with the EPA for these specific test conditions.
• Staphylococcus aureus, MRSA
• Norovirus, Rhinovirus, Feline Calicivirus, RSV
• H1N1, Human Coronavirus
• Pseudomonas, Salmonella, E. coli, Listeria
• Trichophyton mentagrophytes (ringworm)
Is Breezy effective against COVID-19, emerging pathogens, or measles?
Yes. Breezy BioCare™ RTU is on the EPA’s List N (COVID-19) and List Q (Emerging Viral Pathogens). It meets efficacy requirements for Tier 1–3 pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, Ebola, and Monkeypox. Measles is not a particularly challenging virus to kill. It is a very reasonable assumption that Breezy BioCare™ would kill the measles virus, using Rhinovirus and Feline Calicivirus as reference pathogens.
What clinical studies have been done?
Aerosolized hydrogen peroxide (aHP) is a common method of disinfection within a healthcare environment. There are many published studies on the benefits of aHP to combat disease spread in various hospital applications. Here are two AIJC studies as examples:
• Evaluation of aHP disinfection for the reduction of C. difficile hospital infection rates
• Disinfecting noncritical medical equipment using aHP
A new study on the use of Breezy Blue™ for regular deep disinfection at Presbyterian Santa Fe Medical Center will be published soon. Jessi Workman, the Chief Nursing Executive at the hospital explained “We have been using Breezy Blue as part of our disinfection protocols within our operating rooms for nearly two years. Our results have been outstanding, and we are now adding Breezy Blue to other departments.”
Can disinfection efficacy be verified in my hospital?
During deployment at your hospital, we use electrochemical sensors to validate aHP dosages for >99.9% germicidal efficacy that correlate to the Biological Indicator (BI) testing and third-party laboratory testing described in the previous FAQs. And hospitals can monitor Breezy Blue™ usage and efficacy logs using the Breezy Cloud dashboards at any time.
Does Breezy leave residue, odors, or damage surfaces?
No. Breezy's fog does not wet surfaces, damage electronics, nor interact with floor cleaners. Breezy BioCare™ RTU is fragrance-free and acts as a true deodorizer by killing odor-causing bacteria.
Is Breezy BioCare™ RTU safe, green, and compliant?
Yes. It is:
• EPA registered (Reg. No. 90748-1)
• Practically non-toxic (CAT IV toxicity)
• Biodegradable
• Free of VOCs, carcinogens, bleach, and phenols
• Green Clean Institute certified
Here is the SDS for Breezy BioCare™ RTU.
Operational Simplicity
How is Breezy Blue™ operated?
Breezy Blue™ is extremely simple to use. This video shows Breezy in use. In general, there are three modes of operation:
1. Electronic buttons on Breezy’s Smart Controller,
2. Manual push-button (for use without the Smart Controller), or
3. Scheduled autonomously (e.g. unattended overnight use).
What is the approximate coverage capacity and time to fog with Breezy Blue™?
| Physical Space | Room Volume | Fog Time | Disinfectant Used | Disinfections per gallon |
| Shared Restroom | 600 ft3 | 15 seconds | 0.015 gallons | 67 |
| Exam Room | 1,200 ft3 | 30 seconds | 0.03 gallons | 33 |
| Patient Room | 2,400 ft3 | 60 seconds | 0.06 gallons | 16 |
The following formula may also be used as guidance where T is the fog time in seconds and L, W and H represent the dimensions of the room measured in feet: T = (L x W X H)/40
What is the role of the Breezy Smart Controller?
The Breezy Smart Controller configures settings, schedules fogging, pushes updates, and tracks device usage. It connects via Bluetooth (no Wi-Fi needed) and logs activity to Breezy Cloud.
What are the training and maintenance requirements?
Breezy requires minimal training. Environmental services staff are typically up and running in less than 30 minutes. Cleaning involves occasional filter checks and wiping the exterior. No routine maintenance is needed.
Will the fog set off smoke detectors?
When the Breezy foggers are used according to our instructions for use, the dry fog will not set off smoke detectors. Do not point the Breezy foggers directly at a smoke detector.
Are there any objects or materials that I should not fog around?
You can safely fog around most objects and materials including electronics, fabrics, papers, most metals, leathers, and wood surfaces. Avoid fogging people or pets. Avoid fogging around untreated soft metals like aluminum and brass, and avoid fogging any antiquities on which you would not allow water. Contact Breezy Med if you have specific compatibility questions.
Can Breezy integrate with hospital automation platforms?
Yes. Breezy Cloud offers API access for integration with hospital automation and Real-Time Location System (RTLS) software platforms. Breezy is presently integrated within the BedWatch bed management platform.
Procurement & Cost
What are my procurement options?
Hospitals can purchase a Base System or enter a 12-month subscription that includes all equipment, warranty, data platform, upgrades, support and training. Pricing details are available online.
Is Breezy cost-effective compared to UV systems?
Yes. Not only does Breezy offer more complete whole-room coverage and higher efficacy than UV systems, Breezy is about 10% the cost of a UV system. Here is a detailed comparison of aHP vs. UV disinfection within a healthcare environment.
