One way is by the current process of removing PPEs, which can expose caregivers to a high risk from hot spots on the suit. Our Far-UV MicrobeBuster Light Curtain is a solution to this problem. We'd like your help in getting this message in front of as many decision makers as possible, as soon as possible. Details The Ebola outbreak and the unfortunate transmission risk that is faced by not just ordinary citizens in affected areas, but by caregivers as well, in spite of the protective clothing used and precautions taken. As shown on the attached brochure, the lamps can be set up in pairs and in a matter of only 5 seconds would reduce the level of contamination by 3-5 logs of all pathogens present. Efficacy against specific Ebola strains can be proven simply and quickly. If used during the disrobing process, the lamps would substantially increase the safety of the health workers involved. The attached brochure includes some test results from clinical trials, as well as a specific disrobing protocol. The lamps themselves are fairly robust. Each system requires about 3500 watts of power, which could be supplied by a 6 – 10 horsepower generator if deployed remotely. The lamps have a 20,000-hour service life, which could last for up to two years, depending on daily hours of use. Far-UV Sterilray is a patented Technology that is also tested and well suited for surface, liquid and air disinfection, whether in healthcare facilities, military installations, treatment areas, wards, waiting rooms/triage areas, as well in ambulances. The lamps are mercury free and vary in power. For these reasons they are also under development for use in aircraft air circulating systems. We understand the need is urgent and important and we are anxious to be able to contribute our technology to dealing with this crisis. Units could be ready to ship within six to eight weeks of request. With 60 treatment units anticipated to be set up in the most severely affected region, the ability to fabricate and send units to all units would take longer. I thank you very much for your attention and ask if you could bring this equipment to the attention of the appropriate people. We are able to discuss this at your convenience. Please contact for more information.
