Use and Operation
The Model 950 is designed for air and surface disinfection of an unoccupied vehicle with closed windows
and locked doors. Inactivation of a wide variety of microorganisms is accomplished with two germicidal
lamps that emit a wavelength of light at 254 nm. The treatment time required to inactivate varies by
type of organism, humidity, and temperature. The general relationship is more energy equals more of
the microorganism population is inactivated. Energy is the light intensity multiplied by the illumination
time. The model 950 is set to a time of 12 minutes to provide the energy dose recommended by the
International Ultraviolet Association (iuva.org) of 40 mJ/cm

.
Limitations of germicidal light are shaded areas that are unlikely to be treated well enough and should
be cleaned with another method such as wiping with an EPA List N which covers disinfectants for use
against SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19).
A good complementary approach to protect both the people cleaning the vehicle and the users would
start with UVC disinfection first to reduce the bioactivity within the vehicle followed by hand cleaning of
shaded and high touch areas such as the steering wheel and door handles.
Use Example
A use example in a typical 4 door sedan (details depend on the vehicle
’
s specifics)
1.
Use the model 950 as directed across the front seat area
2.
Use the model 950 as directed across the back-seat area (or at the same time if 2 tools are
available)
3.
Remove the tool(s)
4.
Hand clean the high touch areas and areas that are shaded from the light such as
o
Steering wheel and controls (turn signals, lights)
o
Door handles
o
Gear selector
o
Handles outside of the car
