Automatic UV Air Sanitization Reduces Airborne Germs in Healthcare Settings



Where Infections are Common

Many healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) are airborne. Stagnant air creates the perfect environment for bacteria, viruses, and mold to reproduce. According to the CDCopen_in_new, HAIs represent a major cause of preventable patient illness. Hospitals and healthcare facilities want to lessen the risk of tragic outcomes. In a hospital or doctor’s office, airborne infections can be more than a nuisance — they can mean life or death. SANITAIRE® automatic UV air sanitization can help to mitigate this risk.

Continuous operation makes the SANITAIRE® particularly effective in areas where risk of cross infection is high — such as TB treatment areas, burn centers, intensive care areas, chemotherapy rooms, and kidney dialysis centers. The SANITAIRE® UV-C Room Air Sanitizer gives healthcare professionals and patients peace of mind. They will rest assured, knowing that the air they are breathing is healthy.

SANITAIRE® models use germicidal ultraviolet (UV-C) light, which destroys the DNA structure of airborne infectious microbes — even those that are drug-resistant. Read our FAQ post on UV-C light to learn more about how it works.

  • Influenza
  • Staphylococcus (MRSA)
  • Streptococcus (strep)
  • Coxsackie
  • Tuberculosis (TB)
  • SARS-CoV-2 (causes COVID-19)

Air is pulled from the occupied enclosed space into a polished, reflective exposure chamber. Once there, it is zapped by UV-C radiation for a precise amount of time. Bacteria-free air then moves out through a louvered panel and back into room. Learn more about how UV air purifiers work.
