Level4 Bio, LLC

Company

Our Mission

Level4 Bio was founded to help protect people and business from harmful viruses and bacteria, including the world’s worst pathogens.

Using a patented power sanitizing system that is FDA registered as a medical device, and a formula and distribution method that are EPA approved and UL certified, we offer sanitizing solutions to help businesses and facilities save time, money and most importantly, lives by dramatically improving their sanitizing methods far beyond the 70+ year-old techniques still in use today.

From food factories, commercial kitchens and restaurants to hospitals, urgent care clinics, nursing homes, EMS vehicles, hotels, spas, schools, daycares, detention facilities, gyms and virtually any other business or facility where safety is a priority, Level4 Bio helps save time, money, and most importantly, lives.

Our History

Founded in October, 2011, Level4 Bio was conceived after co-founders Ruth Doranzo and Jeffrey Halmekangas shared personal stories of tragedy around family members who had contracted healthcare acquired infections and subsequently succumbed to the illnesses. That led to Mrs. Doranzo sharing details of a game-changing technology that her and a team of colleagues launched several years prior—the sanitizing systems the company uses today. Their stories and backgrounds had enough similarities to prompt them to join forces and launch Level4 Bio in a quest to prevent as many devastating illnesses and deaths as possible from preventable infections.

Today, the company serves businesses of all types and sizes that need to maintain the health and safety of both staff and customers in order to stay profitable, maintain their brand and protect people from the world’s worst germs. Despite advances in preventing infectious diseases, many organizations across industries still use complex, time-consuming, outdated spraying and wiping techniques with bleach or hydrogen peroxide with water mixtures and rags to combat infectious diseases. Level4 Bio solutions completely transform infection control protocols with powerful, one-step sanitizing using one of the most effective pathogen-killing agents known to man: alcohol. The patented technology renders the alcohol formula completely safe, non-corrosive and non-flammable, and therefore highly effective and extremely fast to apply on any surface, in any environment.

The CDC estimates that 1 in every 6 patients that enter a hospital facility contract an infection during their stay. According to Infection Control Today, hospital infections kill more Americans each year than AIDS, breast cancer and auto accidents combined. Such preventable infections are increasingly making their way into everyday community settings such as restaurants, schools, childcare facilities, hotels, cruise lines, gyms, spas and many more, where they are impacting people of all ages. Combine this with the overuse of antibiotics, both in the food supply and in direct medical use, and it is clear why infectious disease challenges continue to take lives and cost significant expense every year.

Technology

UNCONTROLLED PATHOGENS POSE RISK TO BUSINESS AND LIVES

The need for a superior method of sanitizing facilities and equipment is clear. Uncontrolled foodborne, surface and airborne pathogens cost the U.S. billions of dollars and tens of thousands of human lives every year.

While the healthcare industry faces the greatest challenges, other industries such as food manufacturing and processing, emergency services, detention facilities, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food service, hospitality, travel, transportation, public services and others must also manage the threat.

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY AND SANITIZING FORMULA

The Level4 Bio technology and formula safely and effectively sanitizes facilities and equipment, including impossible to wipe nooks and corners as well as sensitive medical equipment and fine electronics that conventional spraying and wiping methods either miss, or cannot be used due to corrosion and/or noxious fumes with significant shut-down time.

Using our proprietary chemical formula and patented distribution method, Level4 Bio kills viruses and bacteria in any environment, and on difficult surfaces and equipment where more traditional sanitizing methods are not possible.  That’s why we are dedicated to eradicating the world’s most harmful pathogens, wherever they live, hide and breed including:

• Staph MRSA (ATCC 33591)
• Staph (ATCC 6538)
• Enterococcus faecium VRE (ATCC 51559)
• Escherichia coli (E-Coli) 0157:H7 (ATCC 43895)
• Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 15442)
• Listeria monocytogenes (ATCC 19111)
• Salmonella choleraesuis (ATCC 10708)
• Type 1 (HIV-1) (associated with AIDS)
• Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)
• Norwalk Virus (Norovirus)
• Avian influenza (H5N1)
• Influenza A (H1N1)
• *Ebolavirus
  *(important note: Ebolavirus is susceptible to alcohol-based disinfectants according to the Pathogen Safety Data Sheet published by the Public Health Agency of Canada; Formula D2 is a proprietary mixture of concentrated alcohols with a four-chain quaternary ammonium compound for residual killing action; it is not lab-tested on Ebolavirus)
• and the vast majority of all other viruses and bacteria

PATENTED TECHNOLOGY, PROVEN PERFORMANCE

The Level4 Bio solution is FDA registered as a medical device, EPA approved and Intertek approved for UL certification. It has also been tested and proven in independent labs, and is compliant with most relevant industry standards.

• Sanitizes more effectively and completely than traditional spraying and wiping methods with harmful, corrosive chemicals.
• It is the first safe method for power sanitizing with a solution of concentrated alcohols.
• Kills both surface and airborne pathogens.

OPTIMAL GERM KILLING POWER

The proprietary sanitizer contains a solution of 58.6% alcohol. The solution also contains Four-Chain Quat that continues the sanitizing action even after the alcohol has completed its killing function and evaporated.

A 58.6% solution of alcohol has long been recognized as an optimal sanitizing agent, but its flammability presented a big problem. Level4 Bio uses a proprietary sanitizer containing a solution of 58.6% alcohol with a Four-Chain Quat plus a critical key to safety, CO₂ as a carrier.

This patented distribution method safely delivers the germ-killing solution thoroughly and evenly in any contaminated environment, including areas with impossible-to-reach nooks, corners and crevices where ‘superbugs’ migrate and breed.

THOROUGH, EFFECTIVE COVERAGE ON ANY SURFACE

Non-Corrosive
Modern electronic equipment isn’t compatible with corrosive sanitizers or wet-wash methods. Fabrics, leathers and plastics also break down after repeated exposure to common sanitizing chemical such as bleach. The Level4 Bio solution safely and thoroughly sanitizes sensitive components, fine electronics, leather, fabric and porous plastics in seconds without any damage or residue. That means one step sanitizing – simply spray and walk away. No rinsing or wiping required, and the Four-Chain Quat compound adheres to surfaces and continues the pathogen killing action even after evaporation.

Safe for Food Contact Surfaces
Our unique formula can be used directly on food production equipment, food contact areas, conveyors and more across the entire food facility environment. No wiping or rinsing is required after the solution evaporates.

FIRE SAFE OPERATION

Level4 Bio is flame resistant and dries in seconds yet continues sanitizing even after evaporation, leaving the area germ-free and ready for almost immediate use. Our patented distribution method envelops the alcohol mist in a stream of CO₂ propellant so the alcohol cannot ignite, even in presence of electrical spark or open flame. That means Level4 Bio is equally safe in any work environment and on any type of equipment, food processing and fine electronics, and is equally safe for people as well as the environment.
