exeCutive CoRneR (continued from page 2) “Before the ICM Symposium, we had recently purchased an ATP device, but really did not know what we were measuring or how to properly use it. The information presented was very useful,” says Patrick Fragomeni, Regional Manager for Janitronics and 1st ICM event attendee. “Since the ICM event, we have been using our ATP device on a daily basis. So much that we have gone through two cases of swabs and just ordered more! We are collecting data in an office environment, surgical suite, and school; and at the present time, we are setting benchmarks and determining the rates of resoiling under various conditions. The ATP device has allowed me to better understand that measurement is the only definitive way to indicate that a surface is clean. We are also better positioned to sell services predicated on science-based methods, rather than aesthetics.” Listed to the right is the tentative schedule for the event in Las Vegas.
