The HaloFogger is a portable disinfection device designed for use in various environments, including healthcare facilities. It operates by dispensing a dry mist of HaloMist™ All-Purpose Disinfectant, a hydrogen peroxide-based solution, to achieve broad-spectrum disinfection. The device is available in 110V and 220V versions, catering to different electrical standards.

Function Description:

The primary function of the HaloFogger is to provide whole-room disinfection by aerosolizing a disinfectant solution into a fine mist. This mist disperses throughout a room, reaching all surfaces, including hard-to-reach areas, to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi. The device is designed for ease of use, with a digital timer that allows users to set the fogging duration based on room size. After the fogging cycle, a specified re-entry wait time is required to allow the hydrogen peroxide concentration to drop to safe levels. The HaloFogger is intended for use in unoccupied rooms and requires users to follow strict safety protocols, including wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling the disinfectant and during re-entry before the wait time has expired.

Important Technical Specifications:

Power: Available in 110V and 220V models.
Disinfectant Capacity: The reservoir holds two gallons (7.6 liters) of HaloMist™ All-Purpose Disinfectant.
Fogging Time Settings: The digital timer allows setting fogging times from 10 to 60 minutes, corresponding to room sizes ranging from 1,400 to 10,500 cubic feet (40 to 300 cubic meters).
Re-Entry Wait Times: Minimum wait times range from 110 minutes for a 10-minute fogging cycle to 210 minutes for a 60-minute fogging cycle. These times are crucial for safety and effectiveness.
Nozzle: High-precision nozzle designed to dispense a dry mist.
Mobility: Equipped with large wheels for easy maneuvering.
Data Logging: Features an integrated HaloLog™ Data Logger with Bluetooth 4.0 connectivity. This logger records up to 30,000 run cycles, including date, time, and run duration. It has an internal back-up battery that requires charging for 24 hours before first use and overnight every three months if used infrequently.
Compatibility (HaloLog™ App):
- Apple Devices: iPhone 4 or newer, iPad 3rd generation or newer.
- Android Devices: All Android devices with OS 5.x+ (Lollipop).

- Run Events Screen: Displays a list of all downloaded Run IDs with specific information (Run ID, Room, Building, Operator, Date, Cycle Start/Stop Time, duration).
- Run ID Screen: Allows adding specific information for each treatment cycle (room number, building name, operator, comments).
- Billable/Non-Billable Events: Users can mark run events as billable or non-billable, which affects their inclusion in downloadable CSV files.
- Deleting Events: Allows marking events as "DELETED" for error correction, preventing them from appearing in CSV files or affecting total run time.
- Email Functionality: Facilitates sending logged data via email for reports, archiving, and data backup.
- Utility Screen: Monitors data exchange between the HaloFogger and the iDevice in real-time and allows erasing data logs from the iDevice (without affecting the internal data logger).
Room Preparation: Specific instructions for fogging rooms with a second interior room (e.g., bathroom) and special room prep for bathrooms (e.g., lifting toilet lid, opening shower curtains).
Safety Warnings: Emphasizes the importance of using only HaloMist™ disinfectant, positioning the device securely, using the supplied electrical cord, unplugging before moving, and protecting the device from impact or fluid entry.

Maintenance Features:

Nozzle Cleaning and Alignment:
- Recommended for optimum performance (e.g., weekly if used daily).
- Involves disconnecting the power cord, removing the nozzle with a 5/8" wrench, separating the main bolt from the nozzle insert, soaking parts in soap and water, rinsing, reassembling, and reinstalling.
- Crucially, the main bolt must be positioned to ensure a uniform gap around the nozzle tip for proper stream.
Funnel Cleaning:
- Regular visual inspection for debris.
- Wiping with a clean, water-dampened towel if debris is present.
- Ensuring the funnel screen is in place.
HaloLog™ Data Logger Battery: Requires overnight charging every three months if the device is used infrequently to maintain the internal back-up battery.
