The Germicidal UV Radiation Chamber utilizes powerful mercury-vapor
lamps (short-wavelength ultraviolet C), to rapidly disinfect and kill known
pathogens.
This compact unit is optimized to meet COVID-19 pandemic
needs for rapid-disinfection of masks using ultraviolet light so the masks can
be reused, helping to alleviate shortages of personal protective equipment
(PPE). It is also appropriate for disinfection of gloves, computer mice, and
other small devices, up to 3 x 10 inches in size. Effectiveness of the disinfection
process depends upon how porous the surface of the object is and UV dosing
time.
The Germicidal UV Radiation Chamber meets Food and Drug Administration (FDA),
Class 2 device requirements.
