UV light has been used for over a century to disinfect environments by inactivating viruses and bacteria. However, most UV light is also harmful to human tissue, which means people cannot be present in the room when the light is on.
Luckily, this has all changed with UV222.
UV Medico's Excimer lamp innovation brings unparalleled virus deactivation to everyday spaces, merging safety with efficiency in a compact, user-friendly design, revolutionizing preventive health measures
UV Medico’s Far-UVC lamp consists of a tube filled with krypton chloride gas. This gas has the unique property of emitting UVC-light at 222 nm when a discharge is applied to it. When the lamp is turned on, electricity creates a discharge that excites the gas and after a short period, UV-C light at 222 nm is emitted.
A Far-UVC lamp without a filter emits light in a narrow band around a 222 nm peak, but also releases secondary emissions around 235 nm and 250 nm. These extra wavelengths are known as side-bands or side-emissions. These wavelengths harm humans, but the unique and patented safety filter in UV222 blocks them before they are emitted into the surrounding environment.
The safety filter technology in the lamp from UV Medico is a thin filter that only lets through light at around 222 nm and blocks all other unwanted radiation. It works much in the same way as sunglasses with UV protection, blocking the UV radiation from passing through and entering the environment, making the light from UV222 safe.

UVC light, particularly at the 222 nm wavelength, is redefining disinfection practices across industries
UVC light at 222 nm offers a disinfection solution that's safe for humans, allowing for continuous operation in occupied spaces
Leveraging peak absorption wavelengths, UVC light effectively disrupts microbial DNA, ensuring thorough disinfection and reduced transmission risks
From hospitals to hospitality, UVC light is integrating seamlessly into various sectors, providing a sustainable and effective defence against pathogens
