You must have heard about virus H1N1, a better version of SARS disease, which have taken away lives of many innocent people around the globe. And now traveling has become a burden, especially with the existence of this virus globally, and thus, scientists have sees this as a new opportunity to create a portable consumer product to ease the burden of those frequent flyer or highly mobile people.
Hammacher has a device that uses a UV wand to eliminate the H1N1 virus from surfaces using safe UV-C light. The same technology trusted to sanitize hospital surfaces. It is called the H1N1 Destroying UV wand. According to test performed by an independent antimicrobial testing laboratory, the wand showed a capability to destroy up to 99.98% of the H1N1 virus after a five second exposure when held 3/4-inch above the suspected contaminated surface.
It also capable of killing MRSA, mold, and dust mites, the UV-C light penetrates viral and bacterial membranes and destroys their DNA, rendering the microorganisms incapable of reproduction and survival.
And unlike liquid disinfectants, UV-C light can sanitize keyboards, upholstered furniture, cell phones, or any delicate surface that harbors germs. The cordless wand shuts off automatically if the light is turned upward. Operates for 90 minutes after an eight-hour charge via an AC power outlet.
