One full year into the COVID-19 pandemic and we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, with widespread vaccinations and people everywhere doing what they can to reduce the spread of infection. With several studies documenting the effectiveness of UVC germicidal lamps to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, businesses are taking notice and investing in UV disinfection systems to protect their staff and the public. In addition to typical UV light water, surface and air sterilization systems, UVC robots are in high demand.
Many hospitals across the country have invested in UV light robots to provide an added layer of protection against spreading disease. In spite of the most meticulous manual cleaning regimen, hospital staff can be pushed to the limit and operating with limited personal protective equipment. A UVC robot can be programmed to enter a hospital room after a manual cleaning process, and effectively kill bacteria and viruses often time missed even with the most diligent attempt at disinfection. UVC robots aid weary hospital staff without being on the payroll or needing a break, they simply make their way back to the charging station when required and deliver powerful germ killing UVC light to eliminate viruses and bacteria.
UVC Robots Proven Effective
Several studies have now been conducted which verify the effectiveness of UVC germicidal lamps to kill the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which is a member of the beta coronavirus family similar to MERS and SARS. Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) are in the same coronavirus family and have been known to be effectively eliminated by UVC radiation. UVC light effectively inactivates these viruses as shown in a recent study by PURPLESUN which shows dosage and exposure time required to inactivate various types of coronaviruses as well as exposure time required to effectively kill drug-resistant bacteria.
Not only will UVC robots help hospitals to prevent the spread of COVID-19, they also continue to reduce risk of common health care associated infections (HAIs) from superbugs often found in hospitals. With UV light sterilization gaining in popularity, UVC robots are now seen outside of the medical field in places such as airports, train stations, shopping malls and public shelters.
