*Laboratory testing shows that, when cleaned regularly, CuVerro® antimicrobial copper surfaces kill greater than 99.9% of the following bacteria within 2 hours of
exposure: MRSA, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterobacter aerogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and E. coli O157:H7. CuVerro® antimicrobial copper surfaces are a
supplement to and not a substitute for standard infection control practices and have been shown to reduce microbial contamination, but do not necessarily prevent
cross contamination; users must continue to follow all current infection control practices, including those practices related to cleaning and disinfection of environ-
mental surfaces. CuVerro is a registered trademark of GBC Metals, LLC and is used with permission, CW-0013-1207.
