Original Press Release:
IOGEAR Prevents Workplace Bacteria With a Click of Its Self-Cleaning Laser Mouse
New Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse Continually Cleanses Itself With Protective Outer Layer
IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 25 / -- IOGEAR today introduced its Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse, disabling the survival of bacteria with an auto-disinfecting surface. The mouse, ideal for use in highly-trafficked public areas, such as offices, libraries and schools, is able to inhibit a wide range of antibodies, viruses and algae.
According to a recent survey from the University of Arizona, the average desk harbors 400 times more bacteria than the average toilet seat(1). Despite this, office workers rarely have time to clean their desktops frequently or thoroughly enough to be effective. As a result, the presence of microbes contributes to the spread of pneumonia, the flu, pink eye and strep throat, among other extremely contagious viruses.
Designed to address this health issue, the outer shell of IOGEAR's new Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse is covered in nanocoating, consisting of titanium oxide and silver nanoparticles that can prevent or deactivate bacteria with 99% efficiency. The titanium oxide attracts water and oxygen molecules. When these molecules are combined with the electrons of the titanium oxide and light, free oxygen ion bases are given off. The ions restrain, clean and eliminate parasites while creating water, carbon and oxygen molecules, starting the cleansing process over again.
"With the manifestation of germs and pathogens on our hands, it is important to keep our most frequently used devices clean," said Mirandu Su, vice president of sales and marketing at IOGEAR, Inc. "Our new Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse addresses this problem with a continuous cleansing process. Regardless of location, the peripherals are able to stay bacteria-free, helping reduce the spread of common viruses and infections."
The Germ Free Wireless Laser Mouse is priced at $39.95 (MSRP) and is available immediately from all major catalog resellers, online resellers and selected retail outlets. It comes with IOGEAR's standard three-year warranty.
