Summary
Abstract
Hypochlorous acid rinses are proposed for plaque control and as a wound healing agent for its use in oral health, due to its low toxicity, high antimicrobial efficacy, anti-inflammatory effect, induction to cell proliferation and its background as a topical solution in the antisepsis of wounds in clinical medicine 16. HOCl has also the ability to oxidize the amino acid taurine and induce the formation of chlorine-taurine (TauCl) which has broad spectrum antimicrobial activity. The TauCl has a significant protective effect on tissues because it can inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators and thereby contribute to the processes of tissue protection.

Reading this responsibly
Published figures are obtained under controlled conditions, usually on clean surfaces or in defined matrices. Organic load, surface condition, temperature and application coverage all affect real-world performance. Use these numbers to design a protocol, then validate it on your own site with environmental swabbing.
Applying it
Concentrations in this range are within the adjustable output of every EcoloxTech commercial system, so implementing this protocol is a settings question rather than a procurement one. Where the claim needs to sit on a registered label, see HOCl-AS200, EPA Reg. No. 101112-1.
