V-MAX UV-C Air-Disinfection Technology – UltraViolet Devices Inc.
VALENCIA, Calif. — UltraViolet Devices Inc. (UVDI) announced its V-MAX™ UV-C air disinfection technology has achieved 99.99% inactivation of Severe Acute Respiratory SARS-CoV-2 in a single-pass in moving airstream HVAC testing. The testing was conducted at Innovative Bioanalysis, a BEI-recognized BSL-3 laboratory in California. SARS-CoV-2 is the primary viral strain that causes the COVID-19 infection, which the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has indicated can be spread by both airborne and surface transmission.1
In the independent testing, UVDI V-MAX UV-C air disinfection technology eliminated 99.99% of SARS-CoV-2 in a single pass at an airflow rate of 500 feet per minute. To confirm effectiveness against airborne SARS-CoV-2 in a moving airstream, Innovative Bioanalysis used an HVAC duct test based on a modified ISO 15714 and ASHRAE 185.1 standard. To replicate conditions in a typical HVAC duct, UVDI V-MAX 254 nm UV-C lamps were arranged in a parallel configuration.
