With the power of germicidal ultraviolet light, you can take the guesswork out of decontamination. UV irradiation is an established means of disinfection and can be used to prevent the spread of certain infectious diseases. Our UVC Cleaning Systems have been used for air disinfection and surface disinfection throughout a variety of industries.
Read on below to learn about some of the most popular applications for UV disinfection devices and the industries that use them.
The prevention of COVID-19 in the dental office requires a unique approach. Dentists, dental hygienists, and dental assistants work in close proximity to their patients, and many dental procedures produce aerosols in the mouth which can increase the risk of transmission from an undiagnosed COVID-19 patient. In fact, COVID-19 risk score data shows that these roles are all in the top five occupations at risk for contracting the virus.
As such, ultraviolet radiation surface treatments and air treatments are necessary tools in your infection control protocol.
When appropriately harnessed, UVC radiation is an essential tool to help fight the spread of airborne viruses and pathogens including SARS-CoV-2 and influenza viruses. Check out one of our proud customers using the Safezone 850M9 as part of their infection prevention protocol.
Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation is becoming an increasingly popular tool for schools and universities to protect their students from the spread of germs.

The hospital environment is the primary target for UVC disinfection services. This is where multi-drug resistant bacteria exist and where the UV inactivation of pathogenic and indicator microorganisms can be most effective.
Hospital-associated infections (HAI) present a significant problem to the worldwide healthcare systems. Below is data from the Center for Disease Control (CDC) in the USA:
The CDC healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevalence survey provides an updated national estimate of the overall problem of HAIs in U.S. hospitals. Based on a large sample of U.S. acute care hospitals, the survey found that on any given day, about 1 in 25 hospital patients has at least one healthcare-associated infection. There were an estimated 722,000 HAIs in U.S. acute care hospitals in 2011. About 75,000 hospital patients with HAIs died during their hospitalizations. More than half of all HAIs occurred outside of the intensive care unit.

| Pneumonia | 157,500 |
| Gastrointestinal Illness | 123,100 |
| Urinary Tract Infections | 93,300 |
| Primary Bloodstream Infections | 71,900 |
| Surgical site infections from any inpatient surgery | 157,500 |

Chemical disinfectants are not enough to battle the bacteria and viruses found in many different work environments. UVC surface and air treatments can be used as a second measure to combat dangerous pathogens.
There are many businesses that cannot afford germicidal UVC lamps or do not have the personnel needed to operate the equipment, but they still wish to add this valuable second layer of cleaning. This is where entrepreneurs can play a role in expanding the use of UVC decontamination in athletic facilities, nursing homes, assisted living centers, daycare centers, operating rooms, dermatologists and doctors' offices, and more. UVC Cleaning Systems' flexible lease programs make it possible for startup companies to get into this market.
UVC Cleaning Systems aren't just for hospitals. Many laboratories in the biotech field can benefit from UVC irradiation of pathogens in their environment. The wall-mount W15 model is perfect for an enclosed space that is subjected to hazardous materials on a daily basis.
In addition, UVC Cleaning Systems are effective tools to reduce e-coli and listeria in the food packaging industries.
For rehabilitation centers, assisted living, memory care, and nursing homes, UVC Cleaning Systems offers limited-use lease plans. These are ideal for facilities that will benefit from an industrial strength tool like the UVC Cleaning Systems M15.
This product improves indoor air quality and brings a second layer of cleaning security that is critical to combat the pathogenic viruses that attack immune-deficient residents at a critical time in their life.
Breaking the chain of infectious pathogens within the close-knit community is possible with the right tools at your disposal. For complete sterilization, trust UVC Cleaning Systems.
