Atlantic Ultraviolet Announces an Alternative in the Battle Against Infectious Airborne Microbes With Their Hygeaire® Indirect Ultraviolet Air Disinfection Line
The Hygeaire® uses germicidal ultraviolet light to purify the upper room air in occupied spaces in order to reduce the risk of cross infection and exposure of occupants to infectious airborne microbes.
HAUPPAUGE, N.Y., Oct. 23, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation (AUV) is showcasing, just in time for flu season, their Hygeaire® line of upper room air disinfection fixtures to combat cross infection.
The Hygeaire® uses germicidal ultraviolet light to purify the upper room air in occupied spaces in order to reduce the risk of cross infection and exposure of occupants to infectious airborne microbes. These fixtures are designed to project the ultraviolet rays across the upper room air thereby destroying bacteria and virus that are carried into the ultraviolet field by convection currents or air circulation. The Hygeaire® provides effective protection against many pathogens such as Diptheria, Legionnaire's Disease, Tuberculosis, Coxsackie, and Influenza. Applications for these air disinfection fixtures are not limited to just the medical field, such as in hospitals and nursing homes, but can also be utilized in office buildings, schools, homeless shelters, clean rooms, and other occupied rooms. Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation® has more information about the Hygeaire®, as well as contact information and the ability to purchase these fixtures at their product page for Hygeaire® at https://www.buyultraviolet.com/hygeaire-uv-indirect-air-disinfection-units.
Ann Wysocki, COO of Atlantic Ultraviolet Corporation® says, "We all know what it's like to have a family member come home sick and how easily a virus can spread. When developing the Hygeaire® we kept in mind that it needed to be effective while safe, durable, economical, quick to disinfect, and as low maintenance as possible. And because every room is not the same, our Hygeaire models all include variable output ballast that enables the fixture to be adjusted so just the right amount of UV-C (germicidal ultraviolet) can be emitted."
In a Tuberculosis Ultraviolet Shelter Study conducted by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, using ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) is the most cost effective way to prevent tuberculosis infection compared to dilution and HEPA filtering. For this study, a number of Hygeaire® model LIND24-EVO fixtures were used in the St. Agnes Shelter for the Homeless. The study would go on to say, "Upper room UVGI is likely to become a common feature of buildings. Upper room UVGI is an effective method for cleansing the air of many types of viruses and bacteria. The technology is well-developed."
