Disinfection Device
South Hill, Va.-based Advanced Ultra-Violet Systems (AUVS) and Safety Net LLC have reached an exclusive agreement that will add AUVS’ highly regarded KR615 Countertop UV Disinfection Device, commonly known as The UV Box, to Safety Net’s line of proven infection prevention and safety products. The UV Box was developed specifically to target the mobile medical and non-medical devices that are known agents of cross-contamination and that threaten clinicians, patients, families and visitors with debilitating and deadly hospital-associated infections. These devices — including cell phones, tablets, stethoscopes, glucometers, TV remotes, blood pressure cuffs and personal items (from eyeglasses to car keys) — are not successfully treated by traditional and high-tech disinfection processes due to their frequent handling and mobile nature. The UV Box has been independently proven to disinfect 99.9 percent of the most difficult to treat contaminants, including C. diff and MRSA, in less than 60 seconds.
