Overhead Air Purification System VidaShield UV24

Overhead Air Purification System VidaShield UV24

Leading hospitals are combatting contaminated air with a proven, patented UV-C air purification system uniquely designed inside a lighting fixture called VIDASHIELD UV24. Housed in a shielded UV chamber in the ceiling and ideally located for maximum effectiveness, VIDASHIELD UV24continuously reduces harmful bacteria and fungi from treated air while improving air quality and minimizing odors

Defend patients, staff and visitors from airborne bacteria, viruses and mold throughout your facility with the VidaShield UV24 system. Overhead, out of sight, the patented system provides continuous ultraviolet protection against airborne pathogens, all safely hidden behind standard-sized fluorescent or LED ceiling lights. The fast, continuous VidaShield UV24 air purification system works around the clock to provide fresh, clean air to breathe. It combines an ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) chamber and air circulating fans with an overhead ceiling light to allow for 24/7 operation in occupied spaces and can treat a volume of air equivalent to a 10’ x 10’ x 8’ room, four times per hour.

Studies demonstrate that UV-C can be a meaningful defense against healthcare acquired infections (HAIs) such as MRSA, C. diff, Staph, Ebola, Tuberculosis, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Clostridium difficile. Ideal for use in hospitals, nursing homes, surgery centers, and daycare centers, anywhere airborne pathogens can impact patient and staff health.

The VIDASHIELD UV24 effectively fills the gap created when terminal cleaning isn’t an option. Protect patients and staff from The Invisible Threat of contaminated air posed by episodic cleaning.

VIDASHIELD UV24 is ideal for use in critical care areas with the highest risk of HAIs – where proper cleaning can be difficult and crowds may limit access for terminal cleaning devices.

VIDASHIELD UV24 reduces the levels of bacteria and fungi in treated air and reduces the settling of viable bacteria and fungi from treated air onto surfaces. In a recent patient outcome study, a long-term acute care hospital in Kentucky reported 60% reduction in their overall infection rates.

How UV24 Works:

• Air containing airborne microorganisms is drawn into system through a discreet vent opening on the face of the fixture.
• A replaceable MERV6 filter sits just inside the vent opening and captures large particulates such as dust.
• The fans create differential pressure to continuously draw 50 CFM of air into fixture.
• Safety baffles guide microorganisms through the UV-C chamber and prevent UV-C leakage into the room.
• The ultraviolet lamp operates at 253.7 nanometers, reducing bioaerosols from room air 24/7.
• Treated air is pushed through second set of baffles.
• A 30 degree angle on blades of the exit vent disperses treated air evenly throughout the room.
