Optimal Antimicrobial Action at 400-420nm

comparison

CleanOhr meets international standards for continuous and unrestricted use around people (IEC 62471).

Harmful to Bacteria. For Use Around Humans.

Visible antimicrobial light excites porphyrin molecules in microorganisms, creating excessively toxic Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS).

CleanOhr kills* viruses, bacteria, fungi, yeasts, mold.

*Testing on a non-enveloped virus (MS2 bacteriophage) showed a 97.12% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 8 hours on hard surfaces. Testing on SARS-CoV-2 (enveloped virus) showed a 98.45% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 4 hours on hard surfaces. Testing on MRSA and E. coli showed 90%+ reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 24 hours on hard surfaces. Results may vary depending on the amount of light that is reaching the surfaces in the space where the product is installed and the length of time of exposure. Use of Vyv antimicrobial light is not intended to replace manual cleaning and disinfection practices.
