The Challenge: Ultraviolet (UV) light is widely recognized for its ability to kill harmful pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. However, traditional UVC light, while effective, can be harmful to humans and animals if exposed to the skin or eyes, which raises concerns about its use in environments like homes, healthcare facilities, and public spaces. As a result, many people are hesitant to trust UVC-based technologies due to potential safety risks.
To address this concern, Xermosol developed its Smart Self-Cleaning UV Door Handle using Far-UVC technology, a safer form of ultraviolet light that does not pose the same risks to humans and animals.
The Solution: Xermosol’s Far-UVC-enabled Smart Self-Cleaning UV Door Handle was designed to provide continuous pathogen elimination without any harmful exposure to humans or animals. Unlike traditional UVC light, Far-UVC operates at a wavelength of around 222 nanometers, which has been shown to be effective at killing harmful pathogens while being safe for regular human and animal contact.
Our device utilizes this safe yet powerful wavelength to sanitize door handles continuously, ensuring that high-touch surfaces remain free of harmful bacteria, viruses, and other pathogens, all while being safe to use around people and pets.
Far-UVC Light Technology: Unlike traditional UVC, which can damage the skin and eyes, Far-UVC light operates at a wavelength of 222 nanometers. This wavelength is scientifically proven to destroy pathogens while being harmless to humans and animals because it cannot penetrate the outer layer of the skin or eyes.
Continuous Sanitization: The UV light is activated only when the door handle is not in use, continuously sanitizing between interactions. The light is safely contained within the device to ensure it does not escape and come into contact with users.
Safe for Humans and Animals: Far-UVC light has been extensively tested to prove that it is safe for daily exposure in occupied spaces, making it ideal for environments with regular human and animal interaction, such as homes, hospitals, and pet-friendly spaces.
Innovative Design: Xermosol’s UV technology is embedded within the door handle, ensuring that only sanitized surfaces are exposed to users, preventing direct exposure to the UVC light.
Since integrating Far-UVC technology into the Smart Self-Cleaning UV Door Handle, users will enjoy the benefits of continuous sanitization without any safety concerns. Key outcomes include:
No Risk to Humans or Animals: Whether in a hospital, home, or pet-friendly environment, the use of Far-UVC ensures that there is no exposure to harmful UV radiation, providing peace of mind for families and healthcare providers alike.
Enhanced Public Confidence: Hospitals, clinics, and offices using the technology have reported increased confidence from both staff and patients, knowing that the technology offers a safe, effective way to maintain hygiene.
Ongoing Pathogen Elimination: The door handle remains continuously sanitized, killing 99.9% of pathogens without the need for manual cleaning or harmful chemicals.
Xermosol’s commitment to safety and effectiveness is evident in our use of Far-UVC technology, which has been shown to be both harmless to humans and animals while being highly effective at killing pathogens. The Smart Self-Cleaning UV Door Handle offers a unique solution to pathogen control without any of the safety risks typically associated with traditional UVC light. With Xermosol’s Far-UVC technology, you can trust that your space remains safe and clean—without compromising the well-being of those who matter most.
