Reduce Airborne Infections in Hospitals with UV HVAC Systems

Hospital stays may create additional illnesses for people already seeking treatment for health conditions.  The Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that nearly 1 in 25 patients acquire an additional infection contracted from a hospital stay.  These healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) pose a real threat to those with vulnerable health conditions and may literally be a matter of life or death.  It is estimated that nearly 100,000 people die each year in the U.S. due to an HAI.

Stagnant air in healthcare facilities and hospitals create a breeding ground for viruses and bacteria to reproduce.  Harmful airborne pathogens can quickly become a source of infection to patients and hospital staff.  Hospitals can drastically reduce the risk of airborne infections with a UVC germicidal HVAC system.  By installing UVC sterilization lamps in air flow systems these harmful microorganisms are instantly eliminated before they have a chance to infect patients and staff.

How Do UVC Germicidal HVAC Systems Work? 

UV light emitted in the UVC wavelength, specifically at 254 nm or 185 nm for ozone production effectively eliminates harmful pathogens as they pass through the UV air sterilization system.  UVC radiation quickly penetrates the cells of these infectious airborne microbes to render them non-viable and unable to reproduce.  UVC germicidal lamps are proven highly effective on even the most stubborn, drug resistance pathogens such as MRSA, strep, hepatitis, tuberculosis, vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), C. difficile and many other infectious microorganisms.
