• The Germ Terminator™ GT100™ peace of mind

The Germ Terminator Model GT100™ is an ingenious and incredibly easy-to-use device designed to protect your long-term health by terminating germs that breed on your wet toothbrush. The Germ Terminator uses an exclusive, worldwide patented and patents-pending process designed to destroy germs through the scientifically-effective and time-tested use of steam combined with a proprietary automatic drying process. This groundbreaking medical device kills germs by steaming and drying them. The toothbrush is then stored in the Germ Terminator’s sanitized clean chamber. All you need to do is to fill the Germ Terminator’s water reservoir with water. Filling the reservoir automatically turns on the Germ Terminator’s “steam” mode. The “dry” mode is then activated automatically as soon as the “steam” cycle has been completed. Your sanitized toothbrush stands ready for your next brushing.

Microscopic cuts in our gums and tongues, often caused by sharp toothbrush bristles, may be extremely dangerous “portals of entry” for destructive concentrations of bacteria, viruses, fungi, molds, and yeast that can rapidly breed on our toothbrushes. This invasion of toothbrush-related germs into our bloodstreams may spread infections throughout our bodies, placing constant stress and strain on our immune systems.

These mouth-related germ infections have been consistently associated with “diabetes, cardiovascular disease, stroke, and adverse pregnancy outcomes” (Oral Health in America: A Report of the Surgeon General, September 2000).

*The Germ Terminator GT100™ is a United States of America FDA- regulated medical device,† a Canadian-regulated medical device, and is listed with Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL).

†Medical device manufacturers are required to submit a 510(k) to the United States Food & Drug Administration and receive subsequent clearance from the FDA if they intend to introduce a medical device into commercial distribution. (See the FDA website at www.fda.gov for more information.)

The GT100™ has been extensively tested by major independent laboratories. It was first tested at an independent laboratory that used the morning toothbrushings from human test subjects. These toothbrushings were then pooled together in an aqueous solution. The toothbrushes were dipped into the solution for 5 minutes under mild agitation. Before treating the toothbrushes with the Germ Terminator, the total live bacterial count was found in the laboratory test results to be “too numerous to count.” After treatment with the GT100™, tested separately with the toothbrush bristles facing down and again with toothbrush bristles facing up, the laboratory was unable to detect any live bacteria whatsoever when tested separately at 30 minutes, 4 hours and 12 hours after beginning the steam cycle.

The GT100™ was then tested at two of the largest and most respected FDA-registered laboratories in the country to confirm these findings. In accordance with Good Laboratory Practice Regulations, these independent labs performed microbiological testing on the effect that the GT100™ had on toothbrushes that had been inoculated with the following representative species of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, including molds and yeast:

1. E. Coli
2. Staphylococcus aureus
3. Salmonella choleraesuis
4. Listeria monocytogenes
5. Porphyromonas gingivalis
6. Neisseria meningitidis
7. Candida albicans
8. Herpes Simplex Virus - Type 1
9. Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) - Type 1
10. Influenza A Virus (Common Flu Virus)
11. Rhinovirus (Common Cold Virus)
12. Hepatitis C Virus

These tests involved contaminating toothbrushes with at least one million colony-forming units of the microorganisms per toothbrush. Tests were performed with the toothbrush bristles facing down in the GT100™, as well as with the bristles facing up.

††After treatment with the GT100™, not even a single microorganism was detected after any test. In each test, the extreme sensitivity of the test allowed the laboratories to conclude that the reduction of each germ tested was greater than 99.9999%, which is otherwise known as a greater than 6-log reduction. A test with a sensitivity down to a greater than 6-log reduction means, for example, that if the lab began testing with a microorganism population of one million, it would be able to confirm at the end of the test that not even one microorganism was detectable if such a result is achieved. Each of the 6-log reduction tests conducted with the Germ Terminator GT100™ resulted in greater than a 99.9999% reduction in the various bacterial, viral, fungal, yeast, and mold populations for which the labs conducted tests. Furthermore, in each of the tests conducted by the laboratories, no microorganisms whatsoever were detected after treatment with the GT100™.

Test results from the laboratories were submitted to the United States Food and Drug Administration as part of the Germ Terminator’s FDA 510(k)-Medical Device application. The laboratory-test results were also submitted to the Therapeutic Products Directorate in Canada as part of Canada’s medical-device licensing procedures.

Another important protective feature of the GT100™ is its dry-heated clean chamber that guards each toothbrush against cross-microbial contamination from any outside source, including germs from other toothbrushes. Once a toothbrush has been sanitized in the GT100™, it remains sanitized in the clean chamber until the next toothbrushing. Upon removing toothbrushes from the GT100™’s clean chamber 12 hours after they had been sanitized, the independent laboratories were still unable to detect even a single microorganism on the same toothbrushes that had been contaminated with massive numbers of mouth microorganisms before treatment with the GT100™.

With numerous worldwide patents and patents pending, the Germ Terminator GT100™ is the most effective, simplest-to-use device ever created to sanitize your toothbrush after every use! It takes only seconds of your time. Just place your toothbrush inside the GT100™, place the cover in position, and add water? it’s that simple. The GT100™ uses time-tested steam and dry heat for consistently thorough sanitization. With the GT100™ there is no need to expose your living environment, your toothbrush, and consequently your health (via the soft tissues and gums of your mouth, your eyes, your skin, or your lungs), to ultraviolet radiation, ozone (trivalent or activated oxygen), alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, or other disinfecting chemicals. The GT100™ is not only the most effective method of toothbrush sanitization (with a germ kill rate of greater than 99.9999% of all germs tested), it is also the safest.

You will use your Germ Terminator at least twice a day, everyday, for the rest of your life. How many products do you own that get that kind of use? Sanitize your toothbrush? it just makes sense.

In families, cross-contamination, the spread of germs from one toothbrush to other toothbrushes, may also occur without proper toothbrush hygiene.

Revolutionary oral-hygiene product kills greater than 99.9999% of the bacteria, viruses, fungi (molds and yeasts) tested. No germs detected After any test.††

Sanitize your toothbrush it just makes sense.™
