"Four Pillars of UVC Disinfection for Healthcare" – Introduction
Why utilize the 4 Pillars of UVC Disinfection in Healthcare?
UVC technology has been recognized and referenced as a valuable tool for disinfecting air and surfaces in healthcare settings since the early 1900's. Using UVC in occupied, and unoccupied spaces can help lower the number of microorganisms in the environment. UVC technology is proven, well researched, and recommended by the CDC, WHO, ASHRAE and other organizations. UVC is established as safe, considered low maintenance, and a cost-effective technology. Most importantly, it serves as an adjunct cleaning approach in many different environments, where additional disinfection of air and surfaces is needed. The 4 pillars are comprised of 4 specific applications, which in combination can offer superior air and surface disinfection.
Pillar One – Upper Air
Upper Air UVC disinfection units remove bioaerosols from air continuously in occupied rooms.
The upper air series is designed to bring safe, effective air disinfection to occupied spaces. These fixtures are selected based on room square footage. They are easy-to-install and maintain.
Pillar Two – Mobile Room Surface Disinfection
Mobile UVC disinfection units disinfect contaminated surfaces and air in unoccupied spaces. American Ultraviolet offers four differently sized mobile UVC disinfection units to fit any application. All units are equipped with 360-degree safety sensors and can be plugged into a standard 120V outlet.

Pillar Four – Fixed Mount Packages
Fixed mount packages disinfect surfaces and air with the flip of a switch or use a preprogramed cycle. This type of system is designed for unoccupied spaces and eliminates the need for extra labor hours or added employees. The installation of these systems can include a timed switch with occupancy sensors to run an automated cycle overnight or when the space is not in use.
