IMPORTANT: The Ultra-V
™
system should only be used by trained & competent operators.
4.11
Identify, Cordon
and Secure the area to be
treated against general
access. Stick “NO ENTRY –
decontamination in progress”
signs on every access door.
Fill all required entries on the
Warning sign sheet. Enter the
area location, room name,
date, time, operator, etc
4.12
Wheel the Ultra-V
™
main unit into the centre of
the treatment area & apply
brakes.
4.13
Unhook the process
monitor from the main unit by
lifting it and placing it outside
the room.
4.14
Take the Spectromes
out of the storage tray
and place them within the
treatment area as far from the
Main Unit as possible. Make
sure The Spectromes sensor
eye is facing the Main Unit.
By doing so, the Ultra-V
™
unit
will automatically calibrate
to the size of the treatment
area and will ensure that the
right amount of UV-C light is
emitted. (Refer to Spectrome
placing diagrams page 23)
4.15
Fully extend the main
cable (D) of the unit by
grasping the main plug and
pulling. Plug the main cable
into a convenient socket, using
an extension lead if necessary.
If an extension lead is used,
it must be in accordance
with site rules, approved CE
marked 13A extension lead
and must be fully unwound,
not left in a coil.
4.16
Connect the Process
Monitor to the convenient
mains socket by using
supplied Power Adapter
(AA)
. If required, use supplied
Cable Extension for extra
cable length. Use ONLY Inivos
approved Power Adapters
and Cable Extensions.
4.17
Process Monitor will
connect to Ultra-V
™
System.
You will be prompted with the
confirming message on the
screen
(BB)
.
4.18
Close the door of the
area to be treated. Ensure the
warning signs are displayed
at all entrances to the space.
Use Supplied Door barriers
to secure all entrances to
the treatment area. Block
any gaps using Inivos Tape
provided.
4.19
When asked - If you
are satisfied that it is safe to
start the decontamination
process then present your
key card.
(CC)
. Ultra-V
™
Process Monitor will now ask
if you are ready to start the
decontamination process.
4.20
Check to ensure that
the entrance/exit points
to the treatment area are
closed locked and sealed
so that no UV-C light is
going to irradiate outside the
treatment area, then press
“YES (start process)” on the
process monitor screen.
4.21
The system will
now perform a Baseline
calibration.
4.22
Once the Baseline
calibration has finished, the
process monitor will show
the status of each Spectrome.
Thumbs up symbol would
mean that Spectrome is
working and communicating
with the system. Thumbs
down symbol would mean
that Spectrome is not working
or communication is lost.
Low battery sign would
mean that the batteries need
replacing. If either of the
last two symbols appear,
re-enter the room, replace
the batteries, or reset the
Spectrome by placing it back
into the holder. Press ‘’NO
(start again)’’ button on the
process monitor. Process
monitor will reset the system
and will repeat the Baseline
calibration – Steps 4.17 to
4.22. The Ultra-V
™
system can
be used with fewer than 6
Spectromes if necessary.
4.23
If all in use Spectromes
appear with the thumbs up
symbol, Baseline Calibration
has been successful. Now,
press ‘’YES (ready to start)’’
on the process monitor
screen. Decontamination
process will start after 30
seconds. You will hear a
warning sound prior to the
UV-C lamps activating.

Ultra-V

warning sign
The Ultra-V
™
warning signage is a simple and highly
visible single use sign to inform personnel of the Ultra-V
™
process.
The sequentially numbered signs come in pads of 50,
glued and stitched at the spine and perforated to remove
the sign before use. The ‘proof of process sign stub’
retained in the spine of the book has space to complete
process time, date, location and operator details and
can be retained as proof of process for later reference.
There is space for the operator to complete the predicted
process times and contact details in case of emergency.
There is also a handy pre-process checklist on the
reverse to ensure all necessary preparations are carried
out prior to the process in order to achieve maximum
efficacy of decontamination and safety in operation.

Ultraviolet-C light Decontamination
Ultra-V™ is a UV-C light decontamination device. It emits light specifically at the
wavelength 254nm through 10 powerful lamps.
UV-C light has been proven to kill vegetative bacteria by destroying the nucleic
acid in DNA.
4.24
The decontamination
process will now run for a
maximum time of 45 minutes.
The duration time of the
process and Spectromes
status will appear on the
process monitor screen.
4.25
At any time during the
decontamination process,
the Ultra-V
™
process can be
Stopped and/or paused.
4.26
Once the process
is complete, the process
monitor will show the final
status of in use Spectrome.
Process is considered
successful when all in use
Spectromes are indicating
Thumbs Up. If there are any
thumbs down for the in use
Spectromes, then the success
of the decontamination of the
room needs to be evaluated
by a competent person.
Inivos can provide guidance if
necessary.
4.27
Once the Ultra-V
™
decontamination process has
completed successfully, enter
the room, switch off at the
wall sockets and unplug the
process monitor and the main
unit. Give a light pull on the
unit’s cable to disengage the
ratchet and allow the cable to
retract. Store process monitor
power adapter neatly in the
Storage box provided
(AA)
.
4.28
Collect all Spectromes
and place them back in the
storage tray
(E)
, stow Process
Monitor back on the main
unit, and wheel Ultra-V
™
system out of the treatment
area. When the area is ready
for patients, inform the staff
involved and ensure the room
is clear.
Ultra-V
™
Plug Guard
You should always ensure
that your Ultra-V
™
unit
is allowed to complete
its cleaning process un-
interrupted. Our Ultra-V
™
plug
guard has been specifically
designed to prevent the
accidental removal of the
unit’s power supply from
the mains wall socket . The
unit features high visibility
warning messages, and is
produced in durable non-tear
synthetic paper. The plug
guard simply fits over the
mains plug of your Ultra-V
™
unit, creating a highly visual
barrier to help prevent the accidental removal of the plug.

Ultra-V

Door Barrier
You should always ensure that your Ultra-V
™
unit is
allowed to complete its Decontamination process
uninterrupted. Our Ultra-V
™
Door Barrier Kit has
been specially designed to prevent accidental
access to rooms being treated. This is achieved
by preventing access to the door handle. The unit
features a Telescopic pole, Door Barrier Sign Clip,
and a Door Barrier Sign. The telescopic pole has
been designed to fit securely into the door frame.
The door bar sign is then slotted into the door bar
clip, and then this in turn is clipped to the pole at a
height which obscures access to the door handle.
The barrier also features a write on/wipe clean
section for the details of the process running, and
of all other emergency and technical helplines.

Inivos sealant tape
To operate the Ultra-V
™
system safely within your organisation,
you will require appropriate sealant tapes to prevent possible
UV-C light leakage and visually mark the areas during the
decontamination cycles for safety reasons. Our branded
sealant tapes have been validated for the effective containment
of UV-C light during the Ultra-V
™
decontamination cycles.
These 75mm wide tapes are designed for the easy sealing
of doors, windows etc. They are specially developed to
ensure successful adhesion without leaving a residue
or removing paintwork from surfaces.
