    Looks pretty good overall.

    Summary of important sections below:

    Test was sponsored by GICC / Dr. Arthur

    Test Organism: SARS-CoV-2, COVID-19 Virus Strain: USA-WA 1/2020, undiluted 5% FBS load

    Test Method: Standard Test Method to Assess Virucidal Activity of Chemicals Intended for Disinfection of Inanimate, Nonporous Environmental Surfaces

    Test Substance: Path-away aerosol solution

    Active Ingredients: Citrus Extract, Ascorbic Acid, Glycerine

    Surface used: Glass

    Test Substance Application and Exposure Conditions: 2.0 mL of test substance was added to the dried virus inoculum and held for the contact time of 2 minutes and 5 minutes at 21°C with 53% RH.


    TEST ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

    The test was considered acceptable for test substance evaluation due to the criteria below being satisfied:
    • The infectious virus recovered from the PRC was ≥ 4.8 Log10 TCID50 units.
    • Viral-induced CPE was distinguishable from test substance induced cytotoxicity (if any).
    • Virus was recovered from dilutions of the NE/VI control not exhibiting cytotoxicity.
    • The CVC did not exhibit CPE.

    TEST SUBSTANCE EVALUATION CRITERIA

    • According to the US Environmental Protection Agency, the test substance passes the test if the following criteria are met:
    • The test substance must demonstrate a ≥ 3 Log10 reduction on each test carrier in the presence or absence of cytotoxicity. If cytotoxicity is present, the virus control titer should be sufficient to demonstrate a ≥ 3 Log10 reduction in viral titer on each test carrier beyond the level of cytotoxicity.

    CONCLUSIONS

    • When tested as described, PATH-AWAY ANTI-PATHOGENIC AEROSOL SOLUTION, Lot Nos. 22020, 42020, and 52020, passed the Virucidal Hard-Surface Efficacy Test when Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-related Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) (COVID-19 Virus), containing 5.0%
    • FBS, was exposed to the test substance for 2 minutes and 5 minutes at 21°C and 53% RH. All controls met the criteria for a valid test. These conclusions are based on observed data.



    Questions that need answering:
    1. If the active ingredients a simple combo of the 3 things listed, what's stopping other players making it?
    2. Do GICC / Holista have any patents / registered trademarks to protect against above?
