UVC Lights are Here!
A few months ago, I wrote an article about UVC light disinfection. After doing the research, I was on a mission. I always want to offer a premium office facility experience for my patients. With the focus of safety and disinfection added by the COVID age, UVC lights in my office were on my wish list.
Why, UVC? UVC kills bacteria, yeast, fungus and viruses better than any cleaner can. Plus, we can easily “treat” the whole room all at once. A dose of 50mJ/cm2 kills 99% of viruses, bacteria, yeast and fungus. We can achieve this dose in approximately 15 minutes with our UVC lights.
UVC light is harmful to the eyes. So, the lights will not be used while patients are in the room. At this point in time, we use the lights primarily just at the beginning and end of the day to sanitize our exam rooms. However, we sometimes use them between patients when needed.
Kudos to my husband Dave who engineered, built, and installed these lights in my exam rooms. So, next time you are sitting in an exam room, look up and know we’ve got you covered!
As always, we are committed to providing our patients excellent care in a caring, clean environment!
