Far-UVC Solutions

What is Far-UVC?

Far-UVC Technology destroys 99.98% of pathogens in the air and on surfaces, including COVID-19, MRSA and SARS. It is commonly used by the medical industry to disinfect surgical equipment, but is now being utilised in a wider array of settings.

Whilst exposure to regular UVC light is dangerous for humans, FAR-UVC has a much shorter wavelength that cannot penetrate human skin or eye cells. This means it is safe to use in occupied spaces such as offices, gyms, and cinemas.

Products range from compact light fittings and handheld wands, to large entrance arches and HVAC air duct cleaning units. Moore MedTech bring together a range of products to create tailored solutions to help businesses combat the current pandemic, and the next.

How Does it Work?

Key Benefits:

Destroys all pathogens - Including COVID-19, MRSA, C. difficile, SARS and VRE. These pathogens routinely compromise working environments.
Reduced absenteeism - Far-UVC technology helps organisations battle the increasing burden of sickness in the workplace by reducing cross contamination of colds, flu and other viruses. The cost of absenteeism is estimated to be over £77 billion per year.
Long-term protection - Instant start lamps provide the utmost in safety, quality, efficiency and longevity for over 30,000 hours of continuous use.
Environmentally friendly - Dry, chemical-free disinfection for green cleaning.
Free from harmful materials - No mercury or other dangerous materials are contained in the lamp.
Powerful technology - Far-UVC produces up to 1000 times greater destruction than any other UV source.
Reduced reliance on cleaning - minimises cleaning routines and provides around the clock protection.
Adaptable to most working environments - The technology can be used in many settings including laboratories, production facilities, offices, transport, hospitality and leisure.

Where Can Far-UVC be Applied?

Far-UVC has a role to play in the prevention of disease transmission across all industries. As shown below, the products in our range can be combined to create a complete bespoke solution for each organisation.

Hospitality or retail

Office or classroom

Lighting

Many different types of lighting applications are available, from single tiles that sanitise a toilet cubicle to large luminaires for open plan offices and halls.

The lights come with timer options or PIRs and require minimal maintenance once installed.

HVAC

Powerful Far-UVC lights sit inside air ducts, killing all viruses and bacteria within seconds as they pass the light. This reduces the spread of airborne pathogens such as Covid-19. It also significantly reduces the number of pathogens that settle in the environment.

Once installed, maintenance is minimum and bulbs last up to 3 years.

Entrance Arches

As with the lighting, there are several different types of entrance arch units ranging from the simple arch illustrated above, to a more advanced tunnel that incorporates a sanitising fog that leaves a protective layer for long-term protection.

What is the difference between UVC and Far-UVC?

The UVC spectrum ranges from 200 to 280 nm. Regular germicidal UVC light is typically at 254nm which can be a health hazard to human skin and eyes.

Far-UVC operates at a much shorter wavelength of ~222nm. This means it is capable of destroying pathogens, but is unable to penetrate skin or eye cells.
