In November 2020, 2 independent studies have conclusively confirmed that PURO UV Disinfection Lighting’s Helo F2 pulsed Xenon light unit effectively inactivates up to 99.99% live SARS-CoV-2 virus on glass, stainless steel, plastic and N95 respirator mask material.
This is important and heartening news for a number of reasons:
Very few tests have actually been done using live SARS-CoV-2. Up to now, almost all have used a SARS-CoV-2 surrogate. We’ve tested PURO Lighting against the real virus.
These tests have proven beyond doubt our ability to effectively eliminate 99.99% of the virus that causes COVID-19.
Surfaces tested include glass, stainless steel, plastic and N95 respirator material, all common elements found in environments requiring routine disinfection.
PURO Lighting’s devices are able to achieve undetectable levels of SARS-CoV-2 on N95 masks after disinfection, giving wearers in a variety of environments confidence that their mask is safe to use.
Studies conducted in the past have used bare bulbs, or light sources for the test. PURO’s actual devices were tested as is – so all variables such as lensing and reflectance are accounted for.
This level of testing and confirmation of effectiveness against the COVID-19 virus couldn’t have come at a better time.
Today, the incidence of COVID-19 cases continues to grow across the US. Now is the time to let Pacific UVGI a central part of your disinfection protocol. Two independent labs have established conclusively – it works.
Finally, for those who might still be participating in, or interested in getting Federal CARES Act funds, those funds can still be used to pay for PPE, cleaning and sanitizing equipment and materials necessary to maintain safe operations during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. Pacific UVGI can help you put a disinfection plan together for your facility, school, office or environment.
