Proper Device Maintenance
The
OMNI ULTRAVIOLET™ UV Sanitizing Wand is not waterproof and must not be exposed to
water or any liquid. To clean the device, use a clean, dry cloth to wipe it off every after use.
WHAT IS UV-C LIGHT?
UV stands for ultraviolet light. Ultraviolet light represents the frequency of light
between 100 nanometers (nm) and 400nm and cannot be seen with the
naked eye. Within the UV spectrum lie three distinct bands of light: UV-A,
UV-B, and UV-C.
UV-A (400nm - 315nm): The long wave UV light (315nm to 400nm) or UV-A
refers to what we commonly call “black light.” This is the longest wavelength
region and has the lowest energy. UV-A represents the largest portion of natural
UV light.
UV-B (315nm - 280nm): The UV-B (280nm to 315nm), or mid-range UV, causes
sunburn.
UV-C (280nm - 100nm): The germicidal UV light (100nm to 280nm), or UV-C, is
effective in microbial control.
Scientific research has proven that the most effective frequency for microbial
destruction is between 280nm and 200nm, which is within the UV-C band.
Therefore, as long as the nm frequency of a germicidal lamp is well controlled
within that range, the microorganisms will be destroyed effectively.
Please note: Opportunities for infection are abundant and virtually everywhere,
so it is important to realize that use of the
OMNI ULTRAVIOLET™ UV Sanitizing Wand
does not guarantee that the user will avoid illness. To avoid microbial infection,
one must take a wide range of precautions. The use of the
OMNI ULTRAVIOLET™ UV
Sanitizing Wand
is an important precaution, but not the only precaution one
should take.
