UVC-AirTM is a GERMICIDAL AIR EXCHANGER

Human respiratory activity continuously

introduces aerosol viruses and bacteria
into the air we breathe. A Germicidal
Air Exchanger is a device that actively
reduces the air’s microbial load
through Ultraviolet Germicidal
Irradiation (UVGI). This action
significantly reduces the risk of infection
through respiratory transmission.

UVC-AirTM is a Germicidal
Air Exchanger. It irradiates
pathogens using a UVC
lamp with an optimum
wavelength of 254 nm.
The radiation immediately
neutralizes airborne
pathogens that cause
illnesses.

VIRUS AND BACTERIA NEUTRALIZED
BY UVC EXPOSURE
The germicidal lamp inside the UVC-AirTM disrupts
the DNA structure of viruses and bacteria. This
exposure renders the microorganisms harmless.

 UVC-AirTM MITIGATES AIRBORNE PATHOGENS IN ENCLOSED
SPACES

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention now says the coronavirus
can be spread through airborne particles that can linger in the air “for
minutes or even hours” – even among people who are more than 6 feet
apart.

The CDC still says that SARS-COV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19,
is most frequently spread among people in close contact with one
another, through respiratory droplets produced when an infected person
coughs, sneezes or talks. But in a new guidance published Monday on its
website, the agency also acknowledged that under certain circumstances,
people have become infected by smaller particles that can linger in the
air in enclosed spaces that are poorly ventilated.
GERMICIDAL AIR-EXCHANGER
USED IN HEALTHCARE

UVC Germicidal Air-Exchangers is an

established disinfection technology used in
healthcare facilities to augment other
disinfection protocols.

Health Care facilities are subject to microbial airborne hazards

that can cause infection in both patients and health care
workers. Hospital-acquired, or nosocomial infections have been
a persistent problem in hospitals and they can have complex
multifaceted etiologies. It is possible that as much as a third or
more of all nosocomial infections may be the result o airborne
transmission at some point and if so, air disinfection
technologies may be able to reduce the nosocomial rate.

If the direct contact route predominates, as many experts

believe, then surface disinfection technologies could also have a
major impact. Combining air and surface disinfection may be an
optimum approach to reduce infection rates and may very well
be economical to implement. Existing health care guidelines for
ventilation system design, pressurization, filtration and
disinfection procedures have historically held the problem at bay
but
PARTIAL LIST OF
INACTIVATED
VIRUSES AND BACTERIA
EXPLANATORY NOTE ON
THE VIRUS & BACTERIA
INACTIVATION TABLES

The “Inactivation Table” presents a partial list of

airborne viruses and bacteria that will be
inactivated when initially exposed to the irradiation
within the device.
• 1 means it will be inactivated
upon the 1st irradiation exposure.
• >1 means it will take more than 1
irradiation exposure before the
virus can be inactivated.

1. Most airborne viruses are inactivated upon a

single pass through the UVC-AirTM models listed.

2. Viruses have no ability to repair UV damage and

successive UVC exposure will lead to inactivation.

COVID 19 Inactivation:

The irradiation dosage required to inactivate

COVID 19 is currently unknown. However, COVID
19 is a strain of coronavirus. To be inactivated,
coronaviruses only need a single irradiation
exposure.
EXPLANATORY NOTE ON
THE VIRUS & BACTERIA
INACTIVATION TABLES
Inactivation Dosage (J/m2)
@D90 is the required radiation
dose to inactivate a
microorganism with 90%
confidence. Inactivation
Dosage is determined by the
exposure time of the
microbe to the irradiation
energy.

In a germicidal air-
exchanger, radiation
exposure time of microbes in
an airstream is in milliseconds.
Irradiation energy received
by the microbe is increased
by minimizing the distance
between the lamp and the
particle.
Science has determined the rates at which various
microbial populations are neutralized due to exposure to
UVC irradiation. Generally, viruses are the least complex
and the smallest among pathogens. Hence, they will most
likely require the least amount of radiation to be
inactivated.
