Sanitizing Wand Operation — continued
For example, if you’ve been using the Wand for 3 minutes and 20 seconds,
the Wand will show “20.” Press the button and the display will briefl y show
“03” before continuing the by-the-second count-up to minute “04.”
Step by step:
1.
To turn the Wand on, press the blue button until the Wand beeps – about
two seconds.
2.
Lift your fi nger off the button. The Wand will turn on. The fl uorescent bulb
may take another second or two to light.
3.
The display window will show the count-up timer.
4.
Begin sanitizing by holding the Wand
as close as possible
and no more
than one-half inch above the surface and moving Wand slowly side to
side in a 12" (1 foot) area. The energy required to kill micro-organisms is a
product of the light’s intensity and exposure time. The closer the Wand is to
an object, the more intense the energy* (see illustration below).
*Calculation based on eliminating 99.9% of Infl uenza A on standardized size items.
