Since the COVID-19 Pandemic began, everyone’s focus was to prevent spreading the virus. One way of doing this was through disinfecting all contact surfaces and keeping the inside air clean. Although disinfection was always mandatory in the healthcare industry, it became one of the main tools for all businesses to continue their activity. Unfortunately, not all disinfection devices are the same, with many of them offering poor results and low-level assurance.
Given all the market options, how can you make sure that you have state-of-the-art technology when discussing disinfection? What are the options?
Several solutions for disinfection and decontamination are available, including the classic sprayer, air purifier, UV-C germicidal lamps or handheld atomizer. To be complete and efficient, the decontamination must be performed simultaneously in two directions, including air and surface decontamination. The disinfection atomizer decontaminates both air and surfaces, being the only effective and complete disinfection method. These atomizers use the dry fog technology, which has been studied and its efficacy has been highlighted in multiple peer review publications.
Compared to the traditional wipe or room ventilation, the nebulizers can create a mist that penetrates everywhere and provide users with 99.99% protection against viruses (including SARS COV-2), bacteria or mould. In addition, these machines operate at low costs and low level of biocide, don’t require specially qualified personnel, reduce human error and provide ultra-fast decontamination solution.
The latest technology brings nebulizers as an effective and efficient solution to disinfecting surfaces inside offices, schools, nurseries, hospitals, surgeries, shopping centres, commercial and industrial spaces. This method of disinfection and decontamination is also ideal for moving homes or for families with pets, where there’s a high demand for keeping the house clean and safe.
Nebulizers using the dry fog technology are already being used by companies that value their employees and customers and wish to provide a healthy working environment and a safe meeting place. For example, imagine working in a workshop where the windows are too high, or maybe they don’t even exist or operate. What if rooms are very tall, and the regular cleaning can’t reach the entire wall surface?
Nebulizer devices produce dry fog in very fine droplets. When sprayed inside, these fine droplets can reach all the nooks and crannies usually overlooked by other disinfection methods. The tiny particles produced by nebulizers make the dry fog technology preferable to steam and spray technologies. The nebulizers work best with any non-alcohol disinfecting solution, providing an automatic airborne decontamination solution to suit any need and with no harm on any piece of furniture, electronics or any type of sensitive medical equipment.
To make it easier to understand how tiny the dry fog droplets are, think about a micron. If we use the micron as a benchmark, the dry fog droplet has a size under 10 microns. The picture below shows how salt, human hair, blood, or bacteria compare to a micron.
The Cube Atomizers are based on innovative spraying mechanisms with exact dispersion, increasing the efficiency of biocide. Even though the biocide is a liquid solution, the nebulizer breaks the solution down. It disperses very fine particles that don’t burst or leave any stains when they contact objects located in the room. The dry fog solution kills germs and any pathogen agents, proving to be the best solution against infections. Also, the dispersed fog doesn’t affect animals or people who may accidentally enter the room during the decontamination process. However, after the cycle has ended, it is recommended to wait 15 minutes before reentering.
