to lower the microbial load in the air and on surfaces while the wound site is exposed.
“The future of room decontamination is automation, more of a controls-based automation then a robot invasion,” Guzman added. uilt in fi tures, always available, no storage or trans- port issues, operated by the existing staff on demand, and pre-programmed for automated run times with no user input. It is a ‘set it and forget it’ approach to adding an additional layer of safety for your staff, patients and visitors. Building Automation Systems (BAS) are already used for controlling air conditioning, visible lighting, and other facilities maintenance procedures. It is a natural evolution to automate enhanced cleaning procedures like fi ed mount systems.
Casting light on air disinfection
Earlier this year, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced its Clean Air in Buildings Challenge to assist build- ing owners and operators with reducing risks from airborne viruses and other contaminants indoors.5
“Global demand for clean, reliable disinfection has and always will be a crucial requirement, particularly following the emergence of COVID-19,” said John Yerger, CEO, Eden Park Illumination. “This move by the EPA further demonstrates the growing concern over improving indoor air quality for public health.”
Eden Park Illumination’s (EPI) latest Far UV-C product in the battle against airborne viruses, MobileShield222, is a ver- satile device with EPI’s patented UltraSlim Lamp Technology,
SURGICAL/CRITICAL CARE disinfecting air and surfaces continuously in occupied spaces.
The lamp provides the output necessary to inactivate 90% of the COVID-19 virus in air at 3 feet in 12 minutes, according to current research. “Far UV-C is a technology which is safe to operate in spaces occupied by people, due to the shorter wavelength range which prevents the UV rays from penetrating even the outermost layer of human skin or eyes,” Yerger explains. “Our MobileShield222 lamp provides safe and effi cient disinfection of airborne pathogens. It is easy to use, right out of

the box, and its compact, lightweight design makes it a por- table solution. Far UV-C is the future of disinfection, creating a cleaner and safer world.”
High quality disinfection without the high cost Cost, quality and outcomes are critical to hospitals in today’s value-based environment. Implementing room decontamination solutions to reduce the risk for HAIs can help hospitals achieve all three goals – lower costs from fewer HAIs, deliver higher care uality and achieve healthier clinical and fi nancial outcomes. Sanuvox Technologies provides high-performance air and surface disinfection systems of the highest quality, without
