Manoeuvering the Ultra-V
™
equipment
The Ultra-V
™
is designed to be operated by a
single person. Secured on four fully steering
castors with a 360 degree handle
(F)
the
Ultra-V
™
unit is very easy to turn left or right.
Most of the weight is at the bottom of the unit,
which makes it very stable and easy to move,
although care must be taken while pushing
the Ultra-V
™
, especially up gradients. Maintain
an upright posture and avoid lowering your
shoulders to push the machine as this can put
undue pressure on the lower back area. Never
attempt to lift the Ultra-V
™
.
Take particular care when manoeuvring the
equipment outside. Avoid any drops like steps,
kerbs and loading bays - do not attempt to
wheel the Ultra-V
™
down steps! Always follow
best manual handling techniques and practice.
Care should be taken to avoid sharp knocks
and bumps, particularly on the lamps of the
Ultra-V
™
. For your safety, the lamps of the
Ultra-V
™
(B)
are provided with a polymer
coating sleeve which is designed to safely
contain any glass in the case of a breakage.

NOTE:
When manouvering the Ultra-V
™
decontamination system, only use the handle.

Setting up the treatment area
The system does not require the use of chemicals to disinfect, unlike other
technologies. The pre-treatment set up required is therefore minimal compared
to other disinfection technologies. However, the use of the Ultra-V
™
technology
requires you to follow a protocol to ensure the maximum efficiency of the
process:
Exposed surfaces -
Ensure the maximum
number of elements and surfaces are going
to be exposed to the UV-C light. The Ultra-V
™
technology relies on the UV-C light to reduce
the surface contamination, the surfaces that
are directly exposed to the UV-C light will
receive the highest dose of UV-C light while
the surfaces that are exposed to indirect
UV radiation will present a lower grade of
decontamination.
Cleaning –
Ensure the room has been manually
cleaned to remove gross soiling, dust and dirt.
Dirt and dust interfere in the effectiveness of
the decontamination process by shielding the
microorganisms and not allowing the UV-C
light to directly irradiate the surface to treat.
In this context cleaning is:
The removal of organic matter
The removal of adhesive residues
and films and spills
The removal of dust and visible dirt
Free from waste materials
Free from loose or compromised surfaces
Block possible UV-C leaking areas –
UV-C
light must not be transmitted to any adjacent
area. In order to avoid this, the operator must
ensure that all the openings are closed and
gaps are sealed off to block the transmission of
UV-C light from one area to another.
Location of the Spectromes around the
treatment area –
Spectromes monitor the
amount of UV-C light they are receiving
from the main unit. This helps them control
the process and ensures an effective
decontamination process. Therefore,
Spectromes must be located around the
treatment area (see section 4.6), ensuring that
all the surfaces receive a sufficient amount of
UV-C light for an effective decontamination.
The Ultra-V
™
process lasts for a maximum of
45 minutes. In the case that one or more of the
Spectromes have not received enough UV-C
light after the 45 minutes of treatment, the
process monitor will indicate which areas have
not been properly decontaminated, allowing
the operator to relocate the Ultra-V
™
system
and rerun the decontamination process.
