high cost, says the company’s Chief Scientist Dr. Wladyslaw Kowalski, stating: “Sanuvox offers a wide range of UV prod- ucts designed to provide a complete solution for any type of disease control application. Our unique Biowall system for ventilation disinfection applications, with its axial lamp configuration (lamp axis parallel to the airflow) reduces lamp cooling effects and operates more efficiently than typical ‘crossflow’ systems where the lamps are positioned perpendicular to the airflow.” Dr. Kowalski says the company’s
Sanuvox ASEPT.2X whole room
disinfection unit
ASEPT.2X whole room disinfection units provide rapid disinfection of surfaces in less time than virtually any other system
available. Its ASEPT.1X systems disinfect whole bathrooms or other rooms continuously when the rooms are unoccupied, and its S300 unit recirculates room air and removes in excess of 99.9% of airborne pathogens.
Customized UVC disinfection with intelligent design Healthcare spaces vary broadly from waiting areas to surgical suites and, as defined by the CDC, from critical to non-critical items with regard to disinfection.6
“Every hospital is different. Cleanis believes that hospitals need customized disinfection solutions that are tailored to each hospital’s specific needs,” said De Ann Siebert, Product Manager, Cleanis. “More than 100 years of scientific research confirm the effectiveness of UVC disinfection, and no other method has been proven superior. Cleanis offers a wide range of customizable and economical UVC products.” OR UVC disinfects surgical sites, between procedures and at automatically scheduled times. Mobile units are available in multiple size and cost options for terminal disinfection of patient rooms. Cleanis UVC products can also continuously reduce microorganisms in pharmacies, as well as open spaces like waiting rooms.
Cleanis UVC products are environmentally friendly and leave no chemicals, no ozone, no secondary contaminants, and no waste behind, so rooms are available for immediate use. Fast cycles improve room turnover time. Intelligent design makes its products easy to use, with safety features to protect against human error. Data analytics are available with some

The five UV-C must-haves for room decontamination When asked how UVDI’s technology helps drive room decontamination effectiveness and efficiencies, the compa- ny’s Director of Global Marketing and Product Strategy Will Gerard stated:
“First, it starts with independently proven efficacy. Independently proven 99.99% inactivation of over 35 microor- ganisms in 5 minutes at 8 feet --- and proven in-field efficacy in 15 published, hospital studies. “Second, operational efficiency that fits into – as opposed to disrupts – hos- pital workflow. The UVDI-360 Room Sanitizer decontaminates an average patient room in 10 minutes.” “Third, enhanced ease of use. The UVDI-360’s new Smart Device commu- nications automatically transfer usage data to the cloud, and enable simple operation via on-device touchscreen and intuitive remote control.” Fourth, 360° surface coverage con- firmation technology during-and-after use to ensure all targeted surfaces have received a sufficient dose of germicidal UV-C. “Fifth and foremost, the UVDI-360 is carefully designed for operator safety. Polymer-encapsulated UV-C lamps that will not shatter if broken. Long-range motion sensors immedi- ately shut down the device if people are present. The device is lightweight at 88 lb for ease of mobility by Environmental Services professionals.” With regards to what improvements in room decontamination he foresees happening in the future, Gerard added: “Effective, enhanced environmental hygiene is possible today – and increasing in the future - without necessitat- ing extra work. Technology enhancements that streamline operational steps and the amount of work required to get the job done. Advancements such as what we see in our homes more and more frequently – smart devices that automatically communicate with each other and humans to make things happen quickly.” HPN
