GH-03 Sterilizer
Air treatment
- Characteristics of Active Oxygen:
- It has a strong oxidizing power, since it is a very unstable molecule.
- It can degrade complex non-biodegradable organic compounds.
- Strong disinfectant action with a wide effective range.
- Unlike other disinfectants (such as Chlorine), it leaves no residue.
- After 20 minutes, O3 transforms into Oxygen, and does not require any treatments for removal.
Fully automatic movable device for air treatment
Active Oxygen can be used as a safe and effective agent to improve the quality of air, an essential condition to sanitize rooms. It allows to obtain the complete deodorization of rooms, eliminating smoke and bad smells.
The device can be used for the disinfection of fruit and vegetables since it degrades pesticides and fertilizers; it destroys bacteria, and inactivates viruses; it has a natural sanitizing and oxidizing action, therefore it combats the onset of pathogens not only on food products, but also on tools.
The Italian Ministry of Health with protocol of July 31, 1996 No. 24482, recognized the use of ozone in the treatment of air and water, as a natural aid for the sterilization of environments contaminated by bacteria, viruses, spores, molds and mites.
USA
Following the documentation provided by the EPRI (Electric Power Research Institute) and a group of experts who assessed the efficacy and safety of ozone in the processing and preservation of food, on June 26, 2001 the FDA, United States body To validate the compatibility of ozone with human activities, the Department of Health and Human Services admits the use of ozone as an antimicrobial agent in the gas phase or in an aqueous solution in the production processes (treatment, processing, conservation) of foods such as meat , eggs, fish, cheeses, fruit and vegetables. In particular, document 21 CFR part 173.368 (register No. 00F-1482) has labeled ozone as a GRAS element (generally recognized as safe) or a secondary food additive safe for human health.
CE mark
The CE mark certifies the compliance of “GH-O3” with the essential requirements of the European safety, public health and consumer protection standards. Despite being a device not subject to these standards, we also wanted to certify “GH-O3”, so as to offer you maximum reliability and safety. The CE mark affixed to Ozobox is not the result of self-certification, but is supported by analysis and laboratory tests.
The Ministry of Health with protocol No. 24482 of 07/31/1996 recognized ozone “natural protection for the sterilization of environments contaminated by bacteria, viruses, spores, etc.” and with CNSA of 27 October 2010 “disinfectant and disinfestant agent in the treatment of air and water”

The anti-viral and anti-microbial properties of ozone have been well documented, although the mechanisms of action are not well understood, and several macromolecular targets could be involved (Carpendale and Freeberg, 1991; Wells et al., 1991; Khadre and Yousef, 2002; Shin and Sobsey, 2003; Cataldo, 2006; Lin and Wu, 2006; Lin et al., 2007). Aqueous solutions of ozone are in use as disinfectants in many commercial situations, including waste water treatment, laundries, and food processing (Kim et al., 1999; Shin and Sobsey, 2003; Naitou and Takahara, 2006, 2008; Cardis et al., 2007), but the use of the gas on a commercial scale as a decontamination device has not been exploited. Ozone gas however has a number of potential advantages over other decontaminating gases and liquid chemical applications (McDonnell and Russell, 1999; Barker et al., 2004).
Thus ozone is a natural compound, is easily generated in situ from oxygen or air, and breaks down to oxygen with a half-life of about 20 minutes (± 10 min depending on the environment). As a gas it can penetrate all areas within a room, including crevices, fixtures, fabrics, and the undersurfaces of furniture, much more efficiently than manually applied liquid sprays and aerosols (Barker et al., 2004; Malik et al., 2006; Hudson et al., 2007).
The only significant disadvantages are its ability to corrode certain materials, such as natural rubber, on prolonged exposure, and its potential toxicity to humans. The recognition of the risk of pathologic consequences following exposure of people and experimental animals to ozone gas has led to restrictions in its use in public areas. However the latter consideration can be offset to some extent by the potential benefits of ozone therapy in medicine and dentistry (Devlin et al., 1996; Bocci, 2004; Ciencewicki and Jaspers, 2007; Huth et al., 2007).
We evaluated the feasibility of using ozone gas as an effective means of decontaminating various hard and porous surfaces containing dry or wet films of different viruses, in the presence and absence of cell debris and biological fluids. Following successful laboratory experiments, we then developed an efficient prototype ozone generator and catalytic converter that could be used in a room containing viral contaminants. We also examined a role for high humidity in enhancing the virus inactivation process, and incorporated this feature into the field tests.
