Danbury, Conn. November 25, 2015 — Spectra254, a provider of UVC light disinfection solutions, announced today the release of the Spectra 900 Series Overhead Cleaning System, a fixed decontamination system similar to a ceiling light fixture that kills MRSA, C. Diff and other pathogens in as little as five minutes.

Using three custom built germicidal bulbs with protective FEP sleeves, the Spectra 900 Series Overhead Cleaning System is ideal for laboratories, surgical suites, operating rooms, self-service kiosk medical stations, patient dressing rooms, patient exam rooms and mobile medical stations used for telemedicine. The Spectra 900 Series is designed to kill pathogens in enclosed spaces with typical dimensions of 8 x 8 x 8 feet and is controlled remotely.

“Spectra254’s right now, right time philosophy means we are always striving to meet the constantly-evolving needs of healthcare infection preventionists,” said Dennis Boyle, Spectra254’s Executive Vice President of Global Sales. “With the Spectra 900 Series, we are bringing our 99.9% disinfection to the telemedicine facilities used in healthcare today and to laboratories where decontamination is essential when studying harmful pathogens.”

The overhead cleaning system employs motion detection sensors and an audio annunciator to ensure safe and proper operation for daily use.

The software interface for the Spectra 900 Series is user-friendly and features a countdown of the time remaining for treatments in minutes and seconds. It also features a digital monitor for the device’s UVC bulbs that can indicate if one or more needs to be replaced. The cleaning system sends error signals to the remote computer to notify operators of events such as a shutoff initiated by motion detectors.

Independent laboratory tests find that the Spectra 900 Series Overhead Cleaning System is 99.9 percent effective in killing C. difficile spores, MRSA and an Ebola surrogate pathogen in as little as five minutes. The Spectra 900 Series is one part of Spectra254’s decontamination solutions portfolio, which also includes disinfection systems for inpatient and outpatient care, emergency vehicles and shared tools and devices.

Spectra254 UVC light decontamination systems use high-intensity UVC light to eliminate pathogens on surfaces. The company offers a practical approach to UVC disinfection in healthcare and related markets, developing multiple systems that are independently tested, easy to use and offer an expanded set of features, functions and benefits normally reserved for systems at a much higher price.
Spectra254’s systems are assembled by an ISO 9001:2008 + AS9100C certified company located in Connecticut, USA. Full product line details are available at www.spectra254.com, by calling 203-796-5315 direct or through emailing sales@spectra254.com.
