Falck & Far-UVC: Keeping Ambulances Decontaminated

 UV Medico Installed our UV222 Ambulance lamps in 56 new Falck ambulances in Region Zealand - Denmark, a significant step forward in improving ambulance disinfection and safety standards. To assess the antimicrobial effect, UV Medico collected samples before and after Far-UVC exposure. After two hours of exposure, the bacterial load was significantly reduced across all tested surfaces

Some Long-Term Benefits of Using Far-UVC in Emergency Vehicles

• Proven Efficacy Against HAIs

  Reducing Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) is one of the most significant benefits of using Far-UVC. HAIs can lead to longer hospital stays, additional treatments, and higher medical costs. Our lamps showed a remarkable reduction in microbial load, decreasing pathogen presence by up to 99.9% on ambulance

• Safe Operation

  The lamps operate safely around humans, utilizing a Far-UVC light at 222 nm, which does not penetrate human skin or eyes, ensuring it poses no health risks during operation.

• Cost and Environmental Advantage

  Cost-effectiveness and environmental advantages make Far-UVC a smart choice for decontamination. Traditional chemical cleaners can be expensive and generate waste that is harmful to the environment. Far-UVC, on the other hand, leaves no residue and requires minimal maintenance.

• Seamless Integration

  The installation of UV222 systems was executed without disrupting the normal functions of the ambulance service, showcasing the practicality and adaptability of this technology in critical healthcare settings.
