Why American Ultraviolet for Healthcare


Why American Ultraviolet Solutions for Healthcare Environments

In 1960 American Ultraviolet began providing healthcare institutions with ultraviolet germicidal disinfection equipment designed specifically to control the spread of microorganisms. The TB Series wall mount fixture, and other Upper Room UVC Disinfection Solutions we designed and manufactured, specifically for continuous upper air UVC irradiation, are still in in use today, more than a half-century later. These trusted ultraviolet light fixtures effectively inactivate microorganisms in hospitals, prisons, clinics, laboratories, clean rooms, government buildings, and many other environments - any place a concern for disinfection exists.

Additionally, American Ultraviolet manufactures a series of Mobile UVC Solutions, including the ARTZ 2.0®, MRS®, and Blade™, for various applications. Because we designed our first mobile UV solution in 1984, we have tremendous experience in this area - experience we believe will be very valuable to you and your institution.

Whether you require a mobile solution, like the data-logging, WiFi -controlled ARTZ 2.0®, or a smaller MRS system; the handheld, lightweight, Blade; or a more permanent solution, like a Fixed Mount Package, you can trust that American Ultraviolet provides the most affordable, efficient, and effective UV light disinfection solutions for reducing unwanted surface and airborne microorganisms in all healthcare environments.
