Yuvee®
Pioneering UV-C disinfection technology
Yuvee® technology uses light properties to achieve High-Level Disinfection (HLD) for medical devices by delivering germicidal UV-C radiation that disrupts cellular DNA, RNA, and proteins, reducing the risk of cross-contamination. Supported by decades of research and development, our Yuvee® technology is a leader in UV-C HLD.
The history of UV-C disinfection
Ultraviolet-C, or UV-C, comes from the sun and artificial sources, including some fluorescent lights. Its germicidal properties render harmless microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, mycobacteria, and spores.
As far back as 1877, public health experts observed that sunlight could slow bacterial growth. Commercial water treatment systems turned to UV-C in the 1950s.
Today, UV-C is used in a range of applications such as robots for room disinfection, air treatment in operating rooms, and for the disinfection of reusable medical instruments.
Yuvee® UV-C technology applied
Our Chronos® and Antigermix® systems leverage Yuvee® technology to achieve reliable, chemical-free HLD.
They feature:
- An intuitive handling and simplified use with a single control button to begin the cycle,
- A unique and independent control system monitoring each disinfection cycle,
- A reflective chamber eliminating shadow areas, ensuring full exposure and disinfection,
- An embedded software enabling viewing and downloading cycles data
