Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI)
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation (UVGI)
- Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is a sterilization method that uses ultraviolet (UV) light to kill airborne micro-organisms. Bacteria, viruses, and micro-organisms (like mould spores) have less protection from UV and cannot survive prolonged exposure to it. V STICK E2/75H-ST-NX-NT is a commercial grade dual lamp germicidal device with control timer panel and four wheels for easy mobility. It works on the principal of direct radiation at 360 degrees and sterilizes irradiated air and surfaces. The UV-C lamps, with emission peak at 253.7 nm (nanometres), have a strong germicidal effect against micro-organisms (moulds, bacteria, and viruses). UV-STICK can be operated within many target zone environments to achieve a deep disinfection of air and surfaces. UV-STICK provides deep air and surface disinfection in any type of healthcare and pharmaceutical environment. Traditional cleaning methods alone are at times often not sufficient to ensure high levels of hygiene. The process of disinfection can be greatly improved by introducing the use of UV-C technology. In the health and pharmaceutical sector, all critical environments need to be disinfected to meet regulatory hygiene standards. With UV-STICK, it is possible to perform a deeper disinfection of all room site locations, in a simple, immediate, and safe way, without developing heat, without using liquids and without any contraindications or resistance.
- In little time the disinfection level of UV-STICK can achieve a reduction of over 99.9% on live bacteria strains such as Bacillus, Coli, Clostridium, Legionella, Vibrio, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Staphylococcus etc. A higher level of disinfection can be achieved depending on surfaces and extended cycle times selected by the operator.
- Thanks to natural air circulation, even microbes located in hidden areas are continually drawn towards the irradiated area, so that their overall level progressively decreases. In which to avoid exposure to harmful UV-C rays, the operation of UV-STICK is permitted only in the absence of personnel and only by facility trained and authorised operators. UV-STICK is a direct Irradiation product, personnel-individuals must not be present during operation.
- WHAT IS UV-C RAYS? Light in a broad sense can be divided. Visible infra-red and ultraviolet rays. Ultra-violet rays (invisible) can be classified in:
- UV A (with tanning properties)
- UV B (with therapeutic properties)
- UV C (with germicidal properties)
- UV-C technology is a physic disinfection method with an optimal cost/benefit ratio, it’s ecological and unlike chemicals it works against every microorganism without creating any resistance. No nasty chemicals.
