How Does the Pocket UV-C Sanitizer Work?
The Power of UV-C Light
The Pocket UV-C Sanitizer is precisely engineered to emit UV light at 260-280 nanometers (nm) - a germicidal wavelength within the ultraviolet light type C (UV-C) range. When used as directed (see How to Sanitize with UV-C Light and Safe Usage Guidelines) it is capable of eliminating up to 99.9% of bacteria and germs by destroying the bonds that hold together their DNA and RNA, stopping them from working.
How Do You Know it’s actually working?
Healthful Plus Pocket UV-C is equipped with a unique LCD Disinfection Timer Display to ensure correct time exposure while sanitizing. However, just like bacteria and germs themselves, the effects of ultraviolet light aren’t visible to the human eye.
Scientists can measure UV light electronically with optical sensors, or chemically with UV-C cards that change colors with dose. At Healthful Plus, we’ve conducted in-house bacteria swab tests on used face masks (pictured below) and engaged a third party laboratory to conduct external tests with the Pocket UV-C Sanitizer to validate its effectiveness against common bacteria strains. You can read about the official lab test report below.
Full technical specifications of the Pocket UV-C Sanitizer can be found here.
