Portability & Convenience
Today, field-based operations face
compounded sanitization challenges
-
Being ‘on-the-go’ can increase risk AND increase the consequence
-
Being out ‘in the field’ increases the potential exposure to pathogens
-
Sanitization requirements reduce the number of visits or efficacy of travel planning
You are on the go, and want to stay that way without the risk of taking pathogens with you, or needing to return to your location to sanitize or switch equipment which impacts travel time and costs. If you’re ‘on-the-go- for a competition or event, then any failure of managing cross-contamination can potentially compromise performance or lead to missing events.
Relying on detergents means not only the hassle of safely packing around chemicals and PPE, but also managing inventory so that you won’t run out while you’re on the road. Similarly, using UV requires safely transporting equipment with breakable bulbs, and the potential for a bulb to need replacement while you’re out onsite.
How Clean Play helps:
Deployment Flexibility
-
No chemicals or PPE to manage or transport
-
Reduced risk of equipment failure while in the field
-
Battery operated - no need for electrical outlet
​
​Clean Play’s use of cold plasma technology means that you can confidently pack your SaniChest knowing that it will consistently provide high-efficacy sanitization no matter where you are. No additional chemicals or spare bulbs required, at 25lbs and 7.7 cubic feet for the SC80 model, it’s easy to fit in your vehicle, and it’s manageable to carry. You can focus on your animals, your next client, or your next trophy, without worrying about your next infection.
Primary Use Case - Justine
Vet
Justine is a mobile vet and often called to visit clients in remote parts of B.C. Because she provides veterinary care to both domestic pets and livestock, she is especially aware of the need to minimize all types of cross-infection. Being able to fit in a vehicle, run on a rechargeable battery, and not require additional components or supplies every cleaning cycle would provide a reliable, simple sanitization process wherever she is, and a 5 minute cycle time could mean she’s back home with her own family earlier, knowing that they and her clients are protected from cross-contamination.
Industry Data & Operational Evidence
Alberta’s “Biosecurity in Practice” manual (ABVMA) lists controls for Ambulatory Veterinary Staff (farm/house calls) including waterless hand sanitizer and disinfection/sanitation procedures between visits, even noting the need for returning to the veterinary practice entity prior to the next appointment for disinfection/sanitation.
Mobile large-animal work is often literally “on the road all day,” and spending the day making multiple herd-health farm calls, relying on packable sanitation because there’s no fixed cleaning room between stops.
Horse Welfare Canada’s event biosecurity guidance notes that strict biosecurity measures and hygiene practices are likely the most effective means of preventing disease spread during equine events, where people, horses, tack, tools, and surfaces mix rapidly creating a higher cross-infection risk.
A single outbreak of Rhinopneumonitis was estimated to cost the French equine industry $4.5-5.5 Million Euros (c. 8M CAD), and spread was attributed to mixed populations during competitions and breeding.
