Far-UVC: A Revolution in OR Air Quality .

Join us at Booth 2244 at the AORN Surgical Conference and Expo to learn how Visium Far-UVC can safely and continuously inactivate airborne pathogens in the OR. Utilizing human-safe Filtered Far-UVC (222nm), Visium can be used 24/7/365 in the OR to address the variable environmental factors affecting air quality and SSIs with an unobtrusive, low-energy, silent system that can deliver up to >98% inactivation of aerosolized pathogens in real-time.

Far-UVC is the evolution of germicidal ultraviolet disinfection technology that has the power to inactivate aerosolized bacteria and viruses directly where people are present, without any harm to human skin and eyes.

Why Far-UVC?

An Intro to

UVC & Far-UVC Light

Ultraviolet (UV) light ranges between 400-100nm in wavelength. While most people are familiar with UVA and UVB due to their association with the sun’s rays, UVC has rapidly grown in awareness since the pandemic due to its incredible ability to inactivate pathogens rapidly and effectively as well as sterilization of air, tools, and equipment for hospitals.

The biggest disadvantage of traditional UVC is the risk factor to humans. Traditional UVC penetrates into skin and causes skin irritations, limiting its use to unoccupied rooms, contained situations, or upper room germicidal systems where people are not directly exposed to it. 

As an alternative, Far-UVC has a shorter penetration depth (Krypton Chlorine excimer emitting 222nm), allowing for wider use. Far-UVC is unable to penetrate the tear layer of our eyes or the dead skin layer and is a human safe solution for occupied, insufficiently ventilated, high traffic spaces.

Commercial UVC can be broken down into traditional UVC and Far UVC.
