UVC Robots Enter the Battle Against COVID

COVID-19 and its variants have been ravaging the globe for more than a year now, and hopefully the war is winding to its conclusion, with increased vaccinations and increasingly knowledgeable diligence by citizens to help curb the spread of infection.

There is another significant weapon in the fight against COVID: UVC germicidal lamp robots. Several scientific studies have confirmed UVC light’s effectiveness in killing the SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19, and businesses, particularly hospitals, are increasingly deploying robots to aid in sterilization of air and surfaces. Many hospitals across the United States are using UV light robots as an added layer of protection against the spread of the pernicious virus. 

Human resources and personal protective equipment are sometimes pressed to exhaustion during surges in COVID-19 cases. That is when UV robots can provide valuable resources with additional sterilization.  UVC robots can be programmed to enter a hospital room after the manual cleaning is complete and finish the job by killing bacteria and viruses missed by overworked staff. The robots can work tirelessly and even navigate back to their charging ports when sensing depletion of their battery power.

UVC germicidal lamps have been proven effective in eliminating causes all along the spectrum of coronavirus diseases, including Middle East respiratory syndrome (MERS) and severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS).  

UVC Robots Valuable in Many Settings

The value of UVC robots does not end with battling coronaviruses. They also reduce risk of the most common Healthcare Associated Infections (HAIs) generated from superbugs that invade hospital environments. UVC robots are increasingly employed outside the medical field where masses gather in concentrated locations, such as airports, train stations, shopping malls, and public shelters. 

As with any UVC sterilization system, the type of germicidal UV lamps is key to reaching maximum disinfection. LightSources is a leader among UV lamp manufacturers, with decades of experience, a global presence, and the leading high-tech lamp engineers in the industry.
