Mark Schwartz, Vice President of PDT, an Astronics Company, said, "We are excited to announce our partnership with 3Oe Scientific, share the news of this critical product launch, and look forward to supporting Iggy™ through production. We believe this and future iterations of Iggy™ will be an important weapon for hand hygiene and the ongoing fight against COVID-19."

Aqueous ozone is a natural disinfectant that eliminates hand-rubbing, use of soap, or harsh chemicals. Iggy™ features a miniaturized ozone generator, sensors, and mechanical water forces to deliver ozonated water that kills bacteria and viruses, including coronavirus. The patented technology utilizes a mechanical array of 10 nozzles to create an ozone-infused water spray that completely covers hands with no rubbing necessary and eradicates pathogens in seven seconds. Iggy™ prototypes underwent rigorous testing conducted at clinical research laboratories, proving efficacy, and reducing the risk of transmission of infectious diseases with 99.9% effectiveness. This initial order will provide Iggy™ devices to schools with additional applications in testing for healthcare, travel, and public health environments.

"3Oe Scientific is thrilled to partner with the innovative team at Astronics to bring Iggy™ to life for the good of our public health," said Dr. Thomas Foust, Founder and CEO of 3Oe Scientific. "Mark and the product wizards at PDT have been with us every step of the way, ensuring that our vision, technology, and science are delivered in a device worthy of the potential of Iggy™."
