How much mail can the MailDefender decontaminate?

The MailDefender can process approximately 3 lbs or 100-120 pieces of mail per cycle. A cycle takes just 45 minutes.

How can you proces more mail?

The internal dynamics of the machine perform optimally in the current size configuration. When you get away from a batch processing methodology to a flow-through tunnel approach for example, it becomes necessary to employ higher energy levels, greater power requirements, and there are increased safety concerns for the user as well. The MailDefender system is designed to scale to meet your mail capacity needs through its modular configuration.

How much does the system cost?

The cost of the MailDefender system is $60,000 per unit.

Does it use nuclear radiation?

No.

How do you know if you had someting in your mail?

There is currently no definitive method to accurately detect pathogens in the mail due to the inability of present detection
technology to "see through" the mail. The safest bet is to just kill everything.

How do you know you have killed anything?

The BioDefense proprietary algorithm synergizes multiple proven
technologies to kill deadly pathogens in the decontamination
chamber. The efficacy has been validated by the Steven's Institute of Technology to surpass annihilation standards set forth by the US Army.

Why have we not heard about anthrax in a long time?

It is true that there has not been an attack that has been
publicly reported since 2001. However, the threat has presented
itself and many National Security Experts believe that the proliferation of weapons grade anthrax from the former Soviet Union to rogue states like Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and others may have occurred. Also of concern is the fact that there are many other harmful substances besides Anthracis bacillus that have
the potential to cause mass disruption. Many of these such as Ricin have been in the news much more recently.

Is the threat of biological contaminants in the mail as large as it is portrayed?

Actually we see only the tip of the iceberg. More than 200 powder threats per month are reported across the nation, causing evacuations of thousands of employees and costing millions of
dollars in lost productivity. Related costs can be prohibitive even for a large company. Some of these incidents can be seen in our quarterly Threats & Incidents Report.

What does the MailDefender kill?

In addition to anthrax the MailDefender is effective against many deadly pathogens such as Botulism, Ebola, E. coli, Tuberculosis,
Avian Flu, Hantavirus, Plague, Smallpox as well as bio-chemical agents like Ricin.

Our Diamond package includes the ability to be on-site within a 24 hour response window. It also includes an upgrade of the firmware should the need arise to address a new strain of virus or bacteria

Are there other applications for BioDefense Technology?

Yes, our technology is based on a portable platform that =
will easily move into parallel industries such as currency, food and medical waste.

What about training?

Your mail operations will be up and running after a simple half-day training session, it's really that simple to use.

Where does the MailDefender fit into our mail-room operations?
