How? It utilizes filtration media to prevent dust and particulates from entering the bays in order to maximize efficacy by eliminating shadowing. Additionally, its disinfection bays are constructed of quartz to ensure the shelf the mobile device is placed on isn’t shielding any of the UV-C light. So if you insert your phone into the device for a disinfection cycle, there won’t be a spot that remains unaffected by the disinfection process.
Speaking of which, the disinfection process is also something to marvel at. It has customizable cycles based on workflow and efficacy needs ranging from as fast as one minute to the more comprehensive six-log kill rate in six minutes. That’s 99.9999% efficacy. This means you are far more likely to be struck and killed by lightning in your lifetime than a microorganism is to survive six minutes in this device. A microorganism on your phone when you use this cleaning device is like a single guy with a pocketknife going up against the entire US Army.

Now you might be thinking: Why does that matter? How does this affect me? If you are a healthcare professional, this actually does matter to you. A lot. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that 1.7 million people a year are developing healthcare-acquired infections, leading to almost 100,000 annual deaths. Healthcare workers’ failure to wash hands is considered to be a main cause, but it’s a bit more complicated than that. The CDC estimates that 80% of infections are transmitted by hands. But what happens if you touch your unsanitized phone a second after washing your hands? Or worse, what happens if you had previously been interacting with contagious patients?
