About Prompt Care, Inc.
In August 2008, the FreshStart by Prompt Care® process received US patent 7,407,624 B2, for effectively decontaminating enclosed spaces. The process provides a highly effective low cost means to significantly reduce HAIs and patient deaths, while also reducing the health care facility's contingent liability exposure.
Healthcare Facility Study
Prompt Care is proposing a cooperative study of the efficacy of the FreshStart process in sterilizing pre-selected medical facility rooms. These rooms could be patient rooms, operating rooms or other post-op rooms where sterilization is critical to the health of the hospital’s patients and staff. It is proposed that the study encompass from three (3) to ten (10) rooms including their HVAC systems. The proposed initial study parameters are as follows:
- Medical facility and PCI jointly agree on rooms to be tested.
- Facility cleans and sanitizes the rooms according to its standard procedures, with cleaning staff unaware of any special testing to be performed.
- Facility performs Indoor-Air Quality (IAQ) tests in the room, testing for viruses and bacteria using standard protocols.
- Immediately following the initial IAQ test, PCI treats the room with the FreshStart process.
- Immediately following the PCI treatment, the facility again tests the room for viruses and bacteria, and the results of the two IAQ tests are compared to determine the process’s baseline efficacy for that facility.
Additional Applications
The U.S. EPA estimates that 50% of the homes in the United States have at least one occupant whose health is negatively impacted by indoor air pollution, including mold and other allergens. At $495 per service (test marketing was done at $495 for 1,500 ft.² with a 10 ft. ceiling height), there is a potential recurring market of $20B. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology estimates that there are 17 million Americans with asthma. These sufferers are clustered two per household, indicating a potential of over eight million homes. Serving these homes establishes another recurring market potential of greater than $4B. The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that there are over five million businesses with employees in the U.S. Serving these businesses once per year at $1,000 per service yields an incremental market of $5B.
Distribution Channel Opportunities
- Specific-use sales and/or licensing for medical facilities (i.e. health care facilities and/or governments).
- Company-owned mobile service business (fewest market entry barriers).
- Franchised operations — local, regional and/or national (additional paths for expanding market entry).
- Licensed mobile service process and/or equipment through existing regional/national service organizations.
- Equipment sales and/or leasing — mobile and/or stationary (current discussions on items 4 & 5 are under NDA).
Company Results to Date

- Received anecdotal evidence that in buildings where one or more of the occupants used antihistamines to mask their symptoms of indoor allergies, many of those individuals substantially reduced or suspended their use of antihistamines for periods ranging from three (3) to thirty-six (36) months following treatment.
- Established that a mobile service model, using the company’s patent-pending equipment, is capable of generating recurring revenues of greater than $1,200 per day, per service vehicle, at margins greater than 50%.
