BOULDER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / August 26, 2024 / Sonoma Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq:SNOA), a global healthcare leader developing and producing patented Microcyn^® technology based stabilized hypochlorous acid (HOCl) products for a wide range of applications, including wound care, eye, oral and nasal care, dermatological conditions, podiatry, and animal health care, and its partner, the MicroSafe Group DMCC, announce that the Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) has approved extended claims for Nanocyn^® Disinfectant and Sanitizer, which is manufactured by Sonoma for its partner MicroSafe using Sonoma's patented Microcyn^® technology.

Nanocyn^® was previously approved by the TGA and entered into The Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods with a 15 second kill time against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID 19), and a 30 second kill time against Norovirus (Gastro), Influenza A (H1N1), and bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The TGA has now also approved Nanocyn® for use against Candida auris (C. auris) and Clostritium Difficile (C. diff.) in ten minutes.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has previously approved Nanocyn^® as an effective bactericidal (MRSA, Salmonella), virucidal (Mpox, SARS-CoV-2), and fungicidal disinfectant for use on pre-cleaned, hard, non-porous surfaces.

"The MicroSafe Group is proud to have Nanocyn^®'s effectiveness further validated by the TGA, especially against critical pathogens like C. auris and C. difficile," said Safa Qadumi, CEO of MicroSafe Group. These claims highlight Nanocyn^®'s rapid, non-toxic disinfection capabilities, providing hospitals and other settings with a safe and effective solution to combat harmful infections and enhance patient safety," Mrs. Qadumi added.

"We are excited to obtain these additional claims from the Australian TGA, as we continue to make advancements as a broad-use technology against harmful bacteria, viruses and fungi, while meeting high safety standards," said Amy Trombly, CEO of Sonoma Pharmaceuticals. "According to the CDC, C. auris can cause severe multidrug-resistant illness in hospitalized patients, and C. diff causes inflammation of the colon and can be life-threatening. Our Microcyn technology creates a safer environment for all patients."
