A Guide to Navigating Industry UV Claims


A free guide from Clorox outlines the key factors your facility should consider, including:

   • Clinical Evidence: Is device efficacy supported by reliable 3rd party data?

   • Safety: Does the device protect staff and patients from UV exposure and lamp breakage?

   • Quality: Does the manufacturer develop robust, reliable UV technology?

   • Affordability: How does the investment compare to the cost of infections in your facility?

   • Support: Does the manufacturer help with training, implementation and maintenance?

Detecting and Debunking UV Myths

Separating spin from science-backed evidence can help determine the best UV system for your facility. Be especially skeptical of unsubstantiated UV claims related to:

   • Short Cycle Times: Claims should include effective distance and pathogen reduction data.

   • Single Placement Protocols: Device must be in line of sight to be effective.

   • Surface Compatibility: Proof of testing for surface and equipment compatibility should be provided.

   • Broad Spectrum: As 254nm is the peak wavelength for UV-C efficacy, broader spectrums include wasted energy.

Clorox Healthcare is backed by over 100 years of disinfecting experience and provides extensive proof, including 3rd party evidence, validated protocols and more.
