Upper air UVC fixtures are recognized and recommended by the CDC, WHO, and ASHRAE as effective solutions for the inactivation of airborne microorganisms. It was manufacturing upper air UVC fixtures that American Ultraviolet started out with more than 60 years ago - safe, effective, and economical air disinfection solutions made in the U.S.A. These trusted fixtures have been successfully used to inactivate microorganisms in hospitals, schools, prisons, healthcare environments, office buildings, and government buildings, just to name a few.
The CM, TB, TB-LED, STBF, and RAM Upper Air series in-room air treatment fixtures are designed specifically for safe, continuous air disinfection, which helps clean the air in occupied spaces. The determination of the ideal upper air fixture for your application is based on the square footage of the room and intended use.
The CM, TB, and STBF fixtures incorporate adjustable louvers that safely direct UVC energy above the occupied space (7 1/2 + feet). The RAM series units are fully enclosed, and tamper-proof, and use internal fans to actively draw in and recirculate the air within the space.

- Provide an extra layer of disinfection in busy high traffic occupied spaces
- Operate 24/7 with little to no maintenance
- Produce no ozone or other secondary contaminants
