Careguard is not intended to be an alternative to water treatment systems or established procedures for infectious control. NEOPERL® considered many antimicrobial technologies.  Agion, Nature's Antimicrobial, was selected because it's silver technology is safer, more effective, and longer lasting than any synthetic antimicrobial, Triclosan included."  This 1.5 gpm Careguard aerator is also a water saving laminar stream model.  Laminar models are good for healthcare use because they don't introduce air into the stream, unlike aerated stream aerators.

Further Information 

Why should you be worried about faucet attachments in healthcare settings?  From the manufacturer: "Every time a faucet is turned off a few drops of water are trapped inside the aerator (or laminar device) where they stagnate, warm up and eventually evaporate. This leaves a film of scale or source of food for biofilm. While insignificant in a residential or commercial environment, such area where bacteria could possibly thrive and multiply due to biofilm are a concern, like in healthcare facilities (hospitals, senior care, medical labs)."
