UV-C Sanitisation

Our UVC cleaning systems are designed to eliminate problems at the source. UV-C light can kill pathogens that land on the surface, eliminating cross-contamination there. What does that mean? It means you don’t have to clean to remove harmful bacteria and viruses on your shared keyboard or handheld devices. On the other hand, UV-C room sanitisers, are secondary solutions. This means prior to use, we advise all surfaces be cleaned of visible dirt and grime using our traditional tech cleaning service.

Cabinets used and supplied by HygienicIT provide UV-C in the 253.7nm band to disinfect and sanitise surfaces in an average of 90 seconds. The drawer-like device and can sanitise anything that is placed on its retractable tray.

WHAT BENEFIT IS THE HYGIENICIT UV-C SOLUTION?

Services designed to be primary solutions provide countless benefits to end users. For example, whenever you run the keyboard through a sanitization cycle, you can be confident it comes out bacteria-free. Every time! Just imagine a world where every time you use a shared keyboard at work you can have the peace of mind that you are not picking up every germ left behind. Users don't have to interrupt their work day with constant keyboard or device wipedown sessions. Did you know there are studies that have shown shared devices to be just as dirty at the beginning of the day as the end?

WHAT IS UV LIGHT EFFECTIVE AGAINST?

Science has shown us that UV-C light can inactivate broad spectrum of pathogenic bacteria and viruses leading to infection. Examples of these infections include Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli and Clostridium difficile. When it comes down to it, UV-C light is the only way to completely obliterate harmful pathogens that are antibiotic-resistant.

SHARED DEVICES

Shared devices are objects within a facility that are used by a variety of different people. Workplaces, hospitals, schools, libraries, airport, taxis, buses, internet cafes, etc. all contain such devices. These are objects you likely use every single day! If you could visually see the bacteria on these items do you think you would touch them? Objects that have the ability to collect pathogens and bacteria, are known as fomites.

Think about how many people touch the items you touch every single day. Let’s talk about a scenario. You get picked up by an Uber and touch a shared seat belt. You arrive at the airport and touch the shared kiosk to check in to your flight. You use a shared pen to write your name and address on a luggage label. You place your hand on a shared escalator rail on your way to the top floor. You touch the shared bins while going through security. You purchase a muffin for later and touch the shared keypad to enter your pin. You sit at your gate and touch the shared arm rest. You board your flight and touch the shared handle of the overhead bin to store your luggage. You sit down and put on your shared seat belt and adjust your shared head rest. Then without thinking, out comes the muffin and into your mouth.
