Pathogen Inactivation*
Powered by the patented Care222® filtered 222nm technology, HDM inactivates pathogens* on surfaces and in the air - even with people in the space.
Far-UVC light, specifically far-UVC light filtered to the 222nm wavelength, inactivates viruses and bacteria** at energy levels that do not penetrate living tissue in skin or beyond the tear layer in eyes, allowing this UV wavelength to be used in occupied spaces.
