Purify O3 Kills Coronavirus Using Ozone

Purify O3 Kills Coronavirus Using Ozone

We added a CPAP/BiPAP sanitizer called the Purify O3 to our product line lack in 2019. The Purify O3 creates ozone gas to use as the sanitizing agent. It has been a nice addition to our product offering. 

You can find out more about it from our Purify O3 webpage. You can purchase from our eBay store using this link.

If you use a CPAP or BiPAP and want to clean it using ozone without any added chemicals, the Purify O3 is a good product to consider. But now that we are in the grip of the COVID-19 coronavirus, there may be another use for the Purify O3.

Ozone has proven to be a reliable coronavirus killer in the past. Click HERE for a link for an article from the Journal of Infectious Diseases and Epidemiology that explains how ozone kills viruses. Here are some highlights from the article:

• The purpose of this manuscript is to bring attention to ozone therapy as a novel treatment for "conventionally" untreatable viral illnesses.
• Ozone therapy has been in use since the late 1800s, but is little known. It is not patentable for profit; thus, corporate interests have no incentive to develop and disseminate it.
• Ozone is triatomic oxygen (O3), the most powerful oxidant found in nature. 
• OT (Ozone Therapy) may be ideal therapy for viruses.
• Coronaviruses reportedly retain infectivity up to 9 days on surfaces, temperature dependent, and are quickly inactivated by oxidizing disinfectants [27].
• Ozone therapy has been reported as exceptionally safe [32].
• Ozone therapy is versatile and can be used for prevention and treatment of acute and chronic diseases. 
• Our offices treat both acute (non-hospitalized cases) and chronic viral and bacterial illnesses with ozone.
• There have been no reports of conflicts with standard medical care, inclusive of drug therapy.
• No funding was provided for this manuscript. Authors have no conflicts of interest to report.

The takeaway for me is that ozone may be another effective treatment for viruses that is not being explored by Big Pharma because they can't profit from it. But let's be clear. The Purify O3 and ozone therapy is not a cure-all for COVID-19 coronavirus. However, it may be another effective means like social distancing, masks, and alcohol wipes to help control the spread of this deadly virus. 

For example, how can the Purify O3 be best used during this COVID-19 coronavirus crisis? If you want to disinfect mail, food items, car keys, etc., stick it in the Purify O3's travel bag or a plastic bin with the Purify O3 and sanitize it that way.

If interested, you can purchase the Purify O3 from our eBay store at https://www.ebay.com/str/fisalesllc

You get FREE shipping and can use eBay's Make An Offer feature if you don't like our price. Who knows? Maybe we'll accept what you can offer and you will have a great way to sanitize your CPAP/BiPAP mask or just about anything. Be safe.

In this post, I want to introduce you to Positioning Sponges & Bolsters, a vital tool for x-ray.

We do offer standard Positioning Sponges like this ...

 Because of the right angles, they can often leave line artifacts. To reduce or eliminate artifacts caused by standard Positioning Sponges, we recommend our Stealth Positioning Sponges & Bolsters with softer angles.

All our Positioning Sponges are available in 3 different foam styles.

And 3 different coverings on the foam are available.

The vinyl Bolsters are designed and sealed to help reduce unsanitary unsealed areas.

Prices are all clearly shown in the catalog.

We hope you will find products of interest in our Positioning Sponges & Bolsters catalog.  And if you have interest in our other X-Ray Accessories, click the X-Ray Accessories link to see all products.

Protec OPTIMAX Gets New Look

The Protec OPTIMAX has been a rugged, reliable x-ray film processor for over 20 years. It has just undergone a facelift. Not inside though. The new-look OPTIMAX uses the same reliable parts and roller rack transport system that it has always used. Just the outside plastic housing has changed. Take a look.

Protec made the change to this housing because it can be molded from a flame retardant material. Now both the OPTIMAX and the variable-speed OPTIMAX 2010 share the same housing and look.

One other change for 2019 is that the OPTIMAX will only be available in 220-240VAC configuration. 110-120VAC processor sales in the USA have steadily dropped over the past decade due to the digital imaging revolution. However, all over the world in emerging nations, x-ray film processors are still considered state-of-the-art technology, so 220-240VAC OPTIMAX sales volume is still strong. Protec made the decision to discontinue the 110-120VAC processors, but continue on with production of 220-240VAC units.

Does that mean that the USA and other 110-120VAC countries can no longer get a new Protec OPTIMAX? Absolutely not! The solution is simple. With every 220-240VAC Protec OPTIMAX, we will include an AC-2000 110-220V Voltage Converter.

Plug the AC-2000 into the 110-120VAC wall outlet. Plug the 220-240VAC Protec OPTIMAX into the AC-2000 Voltage Converter. Simple! This solution has been proven reliable over many years of trials. 

Now who in the USA is still using wet film and x-ray film processors?

• Small private practices like veterinarians, chiropractors, and podiatrists.
• Scientific and research facilities using the processor for Western Blot testing.
• NDT industrial accounts.

And for export outside the USA, we can provide a mammography version of the OPTIMAX.

Surprisingly, x-ray film processor use is still alive and well in the USA. So if you need an x-ray film processor, FI Sales has them. We still have 110-120VAC ECOMAX in stock in the USA.

And now we have 220-240VAC OPTIMAX with AC-2000 Voltage Converters in stock in the USA.

                                           

FI Sales can also offer the AFP Mini-Med 90 in 110-120VAC or 220-240VAC configurations.

You can no longer purchase new Konica, AGFA, Kodak or Hope processors. While FI Sales offers so much more these days, we are now THE place to turn for x-ray film processors. Call us at 1-888-972-9777, email us at info@fisalesllc.com, or visit us online at our Protec processor webpage or at our AFP processor webpage. 

We look forward to hearing from you.

Alternative to Discontinued Konica Minolta SRX-101A X-Ray Film Processor

There is no doubt that the Konica Minolta SRX-101A was one of the finest tabletop x-ray film processors ever designed and manufactured. It certainly wasn't inexpensive, but I would venture to say that it was not a bad product for the price. It was a reliable, versatile (multi-speed) unit. I can't really say anything bad about the processor, except maybe that when repair parts were needed, some tended to be expensive.

When it was announced in July of 2014 that Konica Minolta was ceasing production of the SRX-101A, we were able to offer alternatives. There are still dedicated x-ray film users that are just not ready, willing or able to make the jump to digital at this time, but they may need a new processor. Or they may not want to have to sell a kidney to get the money required to make a huge investment in SRX-101A repair parts when they could purchase a new processor for a similar price. So what are the options?

We at FI Sales like to think that we offer an excellent option in the Protec ECOMAX tabletop x-ray film processor.

The ECOMAX is about half of what a Konica Minolta SRX-101A used to cost, so it is an inexpensive investment to make while waiting to make the move to digital imaging.

The ECOMAX is a high-quality, German-made product that does not sacrifice quality to get a low price. Clever design engineering that makes the ECOMAX the simplest fully-automatic x-ray film processor in the world also makes it so inexpensive.  We have sold thousands in over 10 years, and we can attest through minimal replacement parts sales that the Protec ECOMAX is made to last. Each Protec ECOMAX ships with a 1 year parts warranty.

The ECOMAX certainly does not have all the features that the SRX-101A had.  For example, the ECOMAX is a single speed unit, while the SRX-101A is a 3-speed unit.  But unless you want a processor that can be used for general radiography, mammography, etc., then multiple speeds on a processor is just an expensive option that drives up the price.  Click the link to see all the features that the ECOMAX does offer.

If for any reason the ECOMAX cannot meet your imaging needs, perhaps the Protec OPTIMAX can. It has more features and is correspondingly more expensive.  More details on all our processors can be found on our processor webpage.

So if you are without a good alternative for the Konica Minolta SRX-101A, we hope you consider our line of Protec processors, especially the ECOMAX.  Use the highlighted links to connect with us online, email us at info@fisalesllc.com, or call us toll-free at 1-888-XRAY-777 (1-888-972-9777).

Fischer, Protec and Level 356 Parts Stores

Believe it or not, there are still many x-ray film processors in operation in the USA and around the world. Unfortunately, there are fewer x-ray service companies around to maintain and service the x-ray film processors.  Processor owners are often challenged to maintain and service their own processors.  FI Sales acknowledges this, and now makes it easier than ever to purchase parts to keep Fischer Industries, Protec and Level 356 processors operating properly.

Fischer Industries closed at the end of 2007.  They were known for making processors that last 20+ years.  Well, FI Sales still has parts available for 30+ year old Fischer processors, as well as more recent models.  Visit our Fischer Parts Store. Here you can add Fischer parts to a Secure Shopping Cart for direct purchase from FI Sales.

Protec Medical of Germany is known for making x-ray film processors like the ECOMAX and OPTIMAX that almost never need a part replaced.  There's just something about that German engineering.  However, there are always exceptions to the rule, so FI Sales stocks parts to support the Protec processors we sell. Visit our Processor Parts webpage for more info and a price list for Protec parts.

The Level 356 dental x-ray film processor is the only processor from the Fischer Industries days that still is available from FI Sales.  It is a great little self-contained unit that requires no darkroom.  If the processor is still available, of course parts are, too. Purchase popular Level 356 from our online Parts Store.

If you need our assistance in ordering a part, call 1-888-972-9777 or email to info@fisalesllc.com.
