These mobile ultraviolet units utilize eight UV lamps and are designed for operating rooms, sterile areas, laboratories, unoccupied patient rooms, clean rooms and all other applications where permanent UV fixtures are not practical. Each mobile UV unit is equipped with casters for maximum portability.

Why it is important to disinfect surfaces with germicidal UV
   1. Bacteria, including VRE, MRSA, TB, C.diff and Streptococcus, and viruses can survive for months on dry surfaces.

   3. In hospital environments, surfaces with which hands come in contact are often contaminated with nosocomial pathogens, and may serve as vectors for cross-transmission.
   4. Contaminated hands can transfer germs to five more surfaces or 14 other subjects and can also recontaminate a clean surface.
   5. There is overwhelming evidence for low compliance of healthcare workers with hand hygiene (about 50%), therefore all contaminated surfaces must be properly cleaned and disinfected.

Mobile UV Sterilizers Installation Instructions:
The mobile UV sterilizer is shipped assembled and wired for 120Volt, 60Hz operation. The only procedure necessary is installation of the eight 4-pin GML100 germicidal UV lamps.

Fomites and Infection Transmission

German researchers found that viruses and bacteria, including VRE, MRSA, TB, C.diff and Streptococcus can survive for months on dry surfaces. These pathogens are frequently found in patients with nosocomial infections. In the hospital environment, surfaces with which hands come in contact are often contaminated with nosocomial pathogens, and may serve as vectors for cross-transmission. Contaminated hands can transfer germs to five more surfaces or 14 other subjects and can also be the source of recontaminating the surface.

"Compliance rates of healthcare workers in hand hygiene are known to be around 50%. Due to the overwhelming evidence of low compliance with hand hygiene, the risk from contaminated surfaces cannot be overlooked.” said the researchers.
