Testimonials
21 facility leaders across healthcare, food processing, and public facilities on PathO3Gen UVZone shoe sanitizing.
Clean room air and surface samples negative after adding shoe sanitizing stations
“To help improve our compliance with USP 797 and minimize the risk of pathogens contaminating our Clean room, we added to our department's action plan your PathO3Gen Solutions Shoe Sanitizing Station. The stations are now part of our process that each employee uses prior to entering our clean room. Our last Air and Surface samples were negative for any growth in both rooms. We will continue to utilize the PathO3Gen Solutions Shoe Sanitizing Station in our Ante room because the more tools we have to minimize risk for our patients helps us provide safer patient care.”
Staff, residents, and families respond positively to visible shoe sanitizing at entry
“The PathO₃Gen Shoe Sanitizing Stations, located just inside the employee entrance and another just inside the front entrance to the main building, allows this assisted living facility to continuously and passively reduce bacterial pathogen transmission reducing infection risk to their residents and employees: "The response and feedback from our employees, residents and families has been overwhelmingly positive" said Jim Biggins, CEO and Owner of Cypress Creek. Mr. Biggins goes on to say, "Employees are thrilled that we're doing something to protect the residents that also protects them and their families. Our Residents and their families rave about the PathO₃Gen FSS and love stepping on the FSS for a few seconds to completely sanitize their shoes. One home health nurse told us she no longer keeps an extra pair of shoes in the trunk of her car." There are many factors to consider when choosing an assisted living facility and the PathO₃Gen FSS helps us maintain our competitive edge.”

What does human error look like in food processing environments?
Manual sanitation practices can vary from shift to shift and person to person, creating unnecessary variability in your contamination control strategy.
Liquid Chemicals
Most Common Issues
- Mismeasured chemicals
- Contact times reduced or left too long
- Water temperatures for mixing not adhered to
- No rinse violations — forgetting or not fully rinsing surfaces
Shoe Covers
Most Common Issues
- Improperly cleaned hands contaminating shoe covers
- Improper fit increases likelihood of tears and contamination spread
- Adjusting shoe covers after they're fitted contaminates hands
- Time required to don shoe covers can cause bottleneck in gowning areas
Foam & Powder Chemicals
Most Common Issues
- Inconsistent contact time with employee footwear
- More easily stepped over / avoided
- Difficult to ensure the same amount and time applied to each employee, especially at high-traffic times like shift change

UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Stations can help your facility
Reduce human variability
Replace manual interventions with an automated, standardized hygiene step.
Reduce the need for costly consumables
i.e. shoe covers, quat powder, foot baths and foaming solutions.
Reduce environmental impact & labor
Using, changing and disposing of consumables requires significant labor and impacts the environment negatively.
Increase hygiene compliance
Strategically placed UVZone stations can increase not only shoe hygiene compliance but also compliance with other protocols like hand hygiene.
Lonestar Dairy saw a 40% increase in hygiene compliance in 6 months. Learn more
Improve audit readiness
UVZone provides a consistent process, repeatable conditions and defined control point supporting HACCP and GMP standards.
Lone Star Dairy Products
Food Processing / Dairy Production
Challenge
Lone Star Dairy Products, processing over 2 million pounds of milk daily, needed to improve hygiene compliance at critical transition zones to maintain product safety and quality.
Solution
In late 2020, Lone Star Dairy adopted UVZone technology, strategically placing Shoe Stations at hygiene transition zones. The 8-second treatment cycle allowed staff to simultaneously sanitize hands and adjust protective gear.
Results
- Hygiene compliance increased from 56% (January 2021) to 96% (June 2021)
- 40% overall increase in compliance over a 6-month period
- When a station was temporarily removed in March, compliance dropped from 78% to 74%, demonstrating direct impact
"We have been utilizing UVZone Shoe Sanitizing Technology since October 2020. The dairy industry is highly regulated. This technology has helped us to achieve proactive clean in our facility. We have been quite pleased with our audit results as well as the support we have received from the Path03Gen Solutions team."
