Airborne Infection Control:
Overhead Light System Purifies Air 24/7
It looks like an ordinary overhead light fixture, but it's really a contin-
uous air purification system called UV24 from surgical lighting man-
ufacturer Nuvo. Using UV-C and filtration, the UV24 can neutralize
nearly 100% of airborne pathogens than can cause hospital-acquired
infections, says the company. Because it's built within the casing of a
standard-sized overhead light fixture (fluorescent or LED), the UV24
can operate in any occupied space 24/7 without any risk of UV expo-
sure, and without taking up valuable floor or counter space.
