Yes, systems designed for use in  unoccupied  spaces incorporate multi-layered strategies to prevent accidental human exposure per the UL8802 standard. Systems designed for use in occupied spaces (Upper Room) are designed  to stay under safe exposure limits as defined by the ACGIH TLV values, IEC 62471 and UL1598.  

Occupied – Luminii contactless, upper air GUV systems were designed to be an always-on, nearly invisible system that disinfects the upper air in occupied environments. 

Unoccupied – Luminii high-touch surface GUV systems were designed to be managed in unoccupied spaces, safely and quickly disinfecting surface level pathogens when no –one is in the room.  

PURIFII Systems for sale today are all listed to applicable UL safety standards, including those for photobiological safety. Forthcoming PURIFII GUV Systems will be UL listed prior to product availability. 

The PURIFII AER W and SURFACE light engine have been tested against SARS-CoV-2 in the air and on surfaces in an independent BSL3 lab. Both tests showed a 99.98% inactivation of the virus.12 In addition to our own test data, numerous peer– reviewed studies show that UV-C is effective at killing or inactivating a wide array of pathogens.

The wavelength for all Purifii PURIFII products (upper air and surface) is 275nm. 

No. 275nm LEDs do not create ozone. 

No. Unlike chemical disinfection, UV-C does not leave behind any residues, fumes, etc. As soon as the fixtures is are off, it is perfectly safe for humans to enter the space. 

Not at all. UV-C LEDs, unlike their mercury lamp counterparts, emit no visible light. In the PURIFII SURFACE system, Luminii incorporates visible indicator lights that flash during operation so the operational state of the fixture can be easily identified.  

There are several ways to produce UV, including low pressure mercury, pulsed xenon, and excimer lamps, as well as LED. The small form factor of LEDs enables design freedom that would not be possible with traditional lamp sources. This allows for low– profile solutions that seamlessly integrate with the architecture of a space.  LEDs also address environmental concerns about the mercury contained in low pressure mercury lamps, which are used in most solutions today.  

UV-C disinfection is a line-of-sight technology. Shadowed areas will not be treated. PURIFII GUV systems should always be positioned to minimize shadowed areas.  

UPPER AIR GERMICIDAL PRODUCTS are designed for continuous disinfection of the air, supporting markets including hospitality, schools, restaurants, and fitness centers. The physical design of these products makes them inherently safe to operate in occupied spaces featuring an always-on, contact-free design.  

SURFACE GERMICIDAL PRODUCTS are designed to disinfect high-traffic surfaces in unoccupied spaces and rely on redundant, UL Listed control systems to ensure that spaces are unoccupied before system activation. These systems are well suited for high-touch surfaces where rooms can be disinfected during unoccupied, scheduled, downtime. 

Adding a HEPA filter to your HVAC system is effective at removing pathogens from air recirculated through the system.  

Portable HEPA air purifiers can be effective in small spaces but can provide insufficient air change rates in larger spaces. Air purifiers can also be noisy and require the replacement of filters at regular intervals.  

AER W is silent, has no filters to replace, and can be utilized to create an even & and consistent germicidal zone that can be scaled for small or large spaces

System output can be measured in the field using a UV-C light meter and appropriate personal protective equipment to ensure that the person making the measurement is not exposed to UV-C.

Luminii can perform accelerated life testing on any specific materials of concern to provide rough guidelines for the life of the material when receiving a specific UV-C dose.

*UV-C has been proven to kill or inactivate a wide range of pathogens, including: 

• E. Coli, Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB), Staphylococcus aureus (staph), Salmonella typhimurium
• Adenovirus (can cause fever, coughs, sore throats, diarrhea, and pink eye), Hepatitis, HIV-1
• Measles, Mumps, Cold Viruses, Influenza, Varicella Zoster Virus (causes chickenpox)
