Problem
Senior living facilities face a persistent challenge in preventing the spread of infections, leading to increased healthcare costs, staff absenteeism, and compromised resident well-being. Traditional disinfection methods are often labor-intensive, disruptive to daily routines, and may not provide continuous protection against airborne and surface pathogens.
Solution
UVX's SafeRay™ technology offers a continuous disinfection solution utilizing 222nm far-UVC light, which is safe for human exposure while effectively eliminating pathogens in occupied spaces. This technology provides 24/7 air and surface sanitization, reducing the risk of infection transmission in senior homes and other high-risk environments. By continuously disinfecting, SafeRay™ minimizes the need for frequent manual cleaning and reduces operational disruptions, contributing to a healthier and more efficient environment. The always-on disinfection helps operators decrease infection risk, decrease PPE and HVAC costs, and increase staff retention and productivity.
