Current events happening around the world are raising awareness of the critical care that hospitals provide, the necessity for sterile equipment and the responsibility that hospital administrators feel to provide safe healthcare to their communities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that Healthcare Acquired Infections affect 31 people every day in the United States.
UV Light Sterilization in Air Ventilation Systems
Diseases such as tuberculosis, measles and the influenza virus are all known to be spread through the air between infected people and others in a shared space. Patients who enter a room after a person known to have a transmittable disease are at risk for acquiring infections and worsening their health condition. UV air purification systems are known to eliminate these harmful diseases and many others to protect vulnerable people in hospitals.
UVC Germicidal Lamps Used in Healthcare
UVC germicidal lamps have long been used to sterilize operating equipment and for use in overhead lamps in patient and operating rooms. Low-pressure mercury vapor lamps which emit wavelengths at an effective 253.7 nanometer (nm) are popular in surface and air sterilization applications. UV sterilization lamps improve indoor air quality (IAQ) in healthcare facilities, hospitals and many public places to protect against the spread of many harmful pathogens.
UVC sterilization lamps are proven to be highly effective, removing up to 99% of CFU counts in just one month, as reported by Avinash Kulkarni (PhD), Aeropure UV Systems Pvt Ltd, INDIA. UVC germicidal lamps used in conjunction with an air particulate filter system provide an incremental benefit to improve the air quality and drastically reduce the risk of infection.
