Optical Phusion introduces UV-C light solution for sanitation

June 24, 2020

Optical Phusion Inc. has introduced its Clean Solution, featuring ultraviolet UV-C Light, according to a press release.

The OPI UV-Clean Solution consists of low-level UV-C lights that can be integrated for use with your existing high-touch devices.

A small UV-C light can be mounted on to touchscreens with a motion sensor and UV-C light sanitizing stations can be set up in locations to sanitize handheld devices.

Safe for people, and for devices, UV-C light kills 99% of microorganisms, and sanitizes quickly and automatically, without the use of any chemicals, according to a press release.

High-touch technology, like touchscreens, PIN pads, and mobile computers, can carry and spread dangerous pathogens, according to the release. SARS and MERS viruses, like COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2), are able to live 2-4 days on a touchscreen.
