. >> the robot has a xenon lamp. xenon is an inner, non-toxic.ercury bulbs have it around and they have disinfecting capabilities for 100 years but they are very slow. this is ultra fast when it -- and when it pulses it is 25,000 times brighter than sunlight. it can disable the dna of bacteria, viruses, and spores and that is how i can work against ebola and against the serious hospital associated infections every single day. >> cost. >> $100,000 for robot. when haitian or hospice a patient looks at it or hospital looks at it it could be [inaudible] >> what about manufacturing? in san antonio, texas. we have 90 people who make the robot and sell the robot. we are excited about it because even in our current price point if they prevent three infections that cost $25,000 in infection it pace with the robot for the year and they can do that in the first or second month. >> does it take any special training to operate this? >> we sent a team out, they are buying between two and 12 of the devices. we send a team out and train the housekeepers. the hou

. >> it is xenon gas. it is inert gas. completely non-toxic.n you pulse at high power, it is 25 times power brighter than sunlight. it disables dna all pathogens. ebola, everybody is concerned about, gone. 90 seconds. spores? four minutes. melissa: how much does machine cost? >> the machine costs $104,000. the real way to think about it it is about a dollar per patient day. so $3 per patient room. melissa: these are already around the country, right? how many are out there? >> they're in 250 hospitals, leading institutions, md dickint of mass general system, ucla, you name it they have have it. melissa: does somebody else make something like this? do you have competition. >> no we have no competition this is the only pulse xenon combination. melissa: you see more interest since ebola. >> absolutely, 1.7 million get sick. this is a big deal. thank you so much for bringing this in and showing it to us. >> my pleasure. melissa: real interesting stuff. >>> sounding the alarm. tensions flair up across the globe. we'll tell you why it is time to take

xenon, krypton, argon are all emitted, and they say, "oh, it's just routine," like i could say, "oh, you've just got a routine cancer, don't worry about it." that sort of thing. plutonium doesn't escape until there is an accident like a meltdown or an explosion like fukushima or chernobyl. three mile island had a meltdown. i remember when i first read a book about nuclear power and it was called "poisoned power" by dr. gofman and tamplin, my hair nearly fell out on the desk. i'd never read anything so dangerous...and i still got along with it. i can't tell you how indignant as a physician i feel about that, having helped so many children die of cystic fibrosis, the commonest fatal genetic disease of childhood, which will be increased by plutonium, having helped children die of leukemia. what are we talking about? how precious is life? we going to kill people? >> so going forward, dr. caldicott, what would you like to see done? >> i want an informed democracy. that's what jefferson said, "an informed democracy will behave in a responsible fashion," and it's like i have to inform a pat

inside the column with a xenon tube in it. it puts out light that's 25,000 times brighter than night. it basically can disable the dna of any kind of virus, pathogen, spore out there. >> it's uv emissions. >> uvc that does the disinfections. >> kills viruses, kills bacteria. if you were to bring this into a typical hospital room, how wide is the radius over which she has power? >> it's going to go somewhere between 2 to 3 meters around the machine. that's why we recommend running it on the left side of the bed, right side, and ten minutes later the room is disinfected. ebola isn't in most of the hospitals, thank god, but when it would get rid of middle eastern respiratory system. we did this a few weeks ago in orlando health to stop the, meth a cillin, all the things that people are scared of contracting in the hospitals, it does. >> do you recommend using these machines only in the rooms that are treating the most highly infectious patients, or is it better to treat every single room? >> it's better to treat every room. you'r
