† UV-C light kills up to 99.9% of germs, viruses and other micro-organisms on hard surfaces. Note that sanitizing
times and effectiveness may vary for non-solid surfaces.
‡ Studies are based on laboratory tests. UV-C light is effective on test organisms, in the laboratory on hard
surfaces, under controlled conditions. MRSA refers to Methicillin-Resistant; H1N1 refers to A/Swine/Iowa Swine
Influenza A (ATCC 333). Staphylococcus Aureus (ATCC 33592).
* UV-C direct light exposure is effective on certain allergen producing organisms such as Mold A and a reduction
in dust mites.
§ When used as directed.

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 Suncatcher Personal Sanitizing Wand does
not guarantee that the user will avoid illness. To avoid microbial infection, one must
take a wide range of precautions. Use of the Suncatcher Personal Sanitizing Wand is
an important precaution, but not the only precaution that one should take to protect
oneself.
