April 24, 2006—Now available from Steril-Aire, Inc., is a new mobile decontamination unit equipped with multi-patented, high output UVC technology. Called the Remedial In-Room Decontamination System (RIDS), it provides a safe and effective way to decontaminate surfaces infested with mold (such as Stachybotrys and Aspergilous), viruses (colds, flu, SARS, bird or avian flu, and measles), and bacteria (including TB, Legionella, E.coli, Listeria, Salmonella, and whooping cough).
The user wheels the RIDS unit into the infested area, leaves the room, and turns on the unit remotely, allowing the energy from the high output UVC Emitters to decontaminate walls, tabletops, and other surfaces. A 12-ft. square area can typically be decontaminated in approximately 24 hours. Multiple RIDS units can be used to treat larger areas.
Steril-Aire UVC technology uses no chemicals, produces no ozone or other toxic contaminants, and minimizes worker exposure during the decontamination process. The high output UVC energy quickly kills or inactivates microorganisms that contribute to poor IAQ and/or the spread of infectious disease.
Applications include residential and commercial surface mold remediation; food preparation and processing areas; surface decontamination in hospitals and healthcare facilities; and surface treatment in DNA labs to prevent cross-contamination.
