Mentions of UVC Germicidal capabilities by Universities and the FDA *Ohio State University Study Karen M. Mancl (Bacteria in Water-1989) “Ultraviolet (UV) light has disinfection properties that kill bacteria, viruses, and some cysts”. “The ultraviolet irradiation kills or inactivates microorganisms almost instantly. Ultraviolet light is a very effective disinfectant”. “The die-off rate in the outdoors varies from one pathogen to another, but can be anywhere from a few seconds to a few minutes for a 90-99% kill of viruses or contagious bacteria”.

2) “Some properly designed, and well-maintained, UVGI installations have proven highly effective, as in certain hospitals, and studies performed in schools.” “Viruses are especially susceptible to UVGI”

Ultraviolet Light:
*Thomas Petrie of Energex Systems (Developed System to kill Hepatitis C in blood stream)
"Einstein said that if something absorbs a photon from light, it will have a reaction." The C band of UV light, he says, is a "low invisible light with a bandwidth of about 254 nanometers" that is "extremely germicidal" and able to produce "a biological change."
Germsweepers use only high quality UVC bulbs that allow for maximum germicidal effect. We take safety considerations very seriously and include a short primer on UV light and kill dosages. We also provide goggles in all packages.
Warning labels are posted on the fixtures as well. Our fixtures provide maximum reflectivity so as to reduce the amount of time necessary to eliminate biohazards such as Anthrax, HIV, Salmonella, Tuberculosis, influenza, AVN 51 etc. in under a second when applied properly.
Our product also eliminates odors due to the presence of bacteria and mold. Germsweepers also kill dust mites and molds on surfaces, in vents and HVAC systems.
Our products can be used by office Workers, Mothers/family, Boat/Car/RV enthusiasts, restaurants, food service operators and industry, janitorial services, hospitals, medical facilities of all varieties from private to public, institutions both governmental and non-governmental, sporting goods (camping), emergency survival kits, health clubs, hardware and law enforcement (city, State and Federal) and most certainly the TRAVEL INDUSTRY!
GERMSWEEPER SBD with Remote Control!
FACTS:
This 28 inch long wall unit is the most powerful unit of it's kind available for under $1,000. It will literally sanitize (change the air) up to six times in a 400 sq. foot room. It use 108 watts of UV lamps. The air stays clean and workers reduce the their risk of airborne illness and diseases...substantially. It kills influenza, TB and the common cold jettisoned into the air by coughs or sneezes.
ABOUT HEALTH-RELATED LOSS AND COST OF PRODUCTIVITY IN THE WORKPLACE
1) Cost employers $25 billion, of which $16.6 billion is attributed to on-the-job productivity loss, $8 billion is attributed to absenteeism, and $230 million is attributed to caregiver absenteeism
2) Up to twenty percent of an office can be afflicted in a short period of time by coming into contact with the discharge (in various forms from sneezing to using the same telephone, office equipment etc.).
4) Depending on the employee’s position within the company, each day an employee is ill can represent the loss of thousands of dollars in potential sales, delays in shipping and reduction in satisfactory customer service. All of these factors can cost a company directly and indirectly for a substantial period of time.
5) A parent giving care to a sick child or significant other may lose additional days
6) 22 million school days are lost by children and teachers annually.
Real Estate:
In a very competitive market the seller needs all of the advantages he or she can get to sell property. The buyer wants to know they are getting a clean investment, especially if they have allergies and are not especially fond of other people's germs, odors (pet or personal).
To know that you are buying a home that has been sanitized by ultra violet light and has been ridded of it's previous occupants odors, asthma causing dust mites, allergens and germs is very important to many potential customers. Just sending in a cleaning crew doesn't have the same effect.
Be ecks has set up a service strictly for real estate agents who want to add value to their inventory and peace of mind for their clients.
TRAVEL INDUSTRY:
We manufacture our lights to be used onboard naval ships and cruiselines to help reduce the threat of noravirus and a number of other illnesses common to sea going vesslels.
We also offer toothbrush containers that the traveler can use to sanitize his/her toothbrush after each use. No longer does one have to worry about what the maid did with the toothbrush when they cleaned the room or what possible illness they may receive from improper handling.
Our fixtures even sanitize drinking water!
MEDICAL:
Is there a waiting room anywhere that isn't festering with disease causing germs? Has anyone ever seen the cleaning process that takes place in the average waiting room? It consists of monthly lysol spraying, vacuuming and general tidying. Meanwhile, MRSA is out of control in hospitals and now locker rooms and clinics. We can do very little to prevent the spread. Our antibiotic wipes and solutions aren't solutions at all. Our Germsweepers should be used daily in every room of every hospital on earth...period.
With 90,000 deaths on secondary infections suffered by hospital patients annually it doesn't take a genius to know that something is very wrong with our state of infection control in our medical facilities.
Our fixtures can and should be used to sanitize furniture, office fixtures, machines and all the examination rooms across the country. There is no excuse for medical facilities not to be using UV light to the extreme to destroy if not at least substantially reduce the threat of infection. Unfortunately, hospitals seem to be taking their leads from the Pharma industry because all they really want to do is sell chemicals and not cheap light bulbs!
