NAGAIKI Veterinary Hospital pays close attention to ensuring excellent air quality. For Toshiya Koba, director of the hospital, who knew about the effectiveness and safety of hypochlorous acid from an early stage, ziaino® was the product he had been waiting for.

Challenge: To become a hospital with excellent air quality

Aiming for thorough hygiene management, NAGAIKI Veterinary Hospital has been using hypochlorite since first opening its doors. While initially it used medical-use bleach containing diluted sodium hypochlorite, around 20 years ago it introduced 2 machines that can generate hypochlorous acid, creating a safer system for improved disinfection and deodorisation. With more benefits than alcohol disinfectant, and safe to use with both humans and animals, the hospital had been using hypochlorous acid in various ways, including in sprays, as a hand cleanser prior to treating animals, and for cleaning animals’ mouths and bodies.

At the same time, it had installed ventilation equipment in its waiting and treatment rooms to ensure a constant flow of fresh, clean air, and built positive pressure cleanrooms. With thorough hygiene management measures in place and a knowledge of the benefits of hypochlorous acid, the hospital had long been aware of ziaino®, and introduced a ziaino® product into its waiting room.

ziaino® sucks in dirty air, cleaning it with hypochlorous acid within the unit, before releasing the purified air back into the room. Koba has noticed how this air treatment cycle ensures a constant flow of purified air within the hospital. He has also been incredibly impressed at how the unit does everything from automatically generating hypochlorous acid to vaporizing it and releasing it into the air.

Koba says, “During the pandemic, we paid special attention to the air environment and hygiene management, such as frequently measuring CO₂ concentration level in the waiting room. Our plan is to continue using ziaino® to provide a hygienic air environment for those visiting the hospital. ziaino® is a high-profile product in Japan, so from a management perspective, there are huge benefits for us if customers can see we are using ziaino® and know we strive to ensure excellent air quality.”

Koba is also representative of the Tokyo Jonan Regional Veterinary Medicine Promotional Association, which offers emergency nighttime treatment for cats and dogs, he has also introduced ziaino® products in the association. Treatment at NAGAIKI Veterinary Hospital is by appointment only, and so hospital staff know the condition of the dog or cat in advance. At the emergency clinic, however, staff do not know when and in what condition animals will arrive, and so it is even more important to ensure hygiene management. Here, Koba believes ziaino® has even greater value.
