DeGERM-Inator Bakteriedreper.
Dreper de fleste bakterier på få sekunder. Beskytter deg mot virus.
ADVARSEL
Stråling fra lysrør med kortbølge 254nm forårsaker varig brannskader på øyne og hud.
Rett aldri strålen mot øyne eller hud. Benytt beskyttelse mot stråling i form av beskyttelsesbriller, kabinett, ansiktsskiold og handsker.

Kill a wide range of disease-causing bacteria and viruses — in just seconds! Protect against Influenza, E.Coli, Salmonella, Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, Hepatitis and much more!
Sanitize telephones and cell phones, toilet seats and flush handles, computer mouse devices and keyboards, plastic toys, door knobs and many other commonly contaminated surfaces. Also safely purify drinking water.
The only portable UV sanitizers with a child safety switch!
Safe
The DeGERM-inator uses the ultraviolet method of deactivating and killing microbes, which has been recommended for over 45 years by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control. It is absolutely safe when used as directed. For added safety, the DeGERM-inator ™ features a unique child safety switch to prevent accidental UV exposure.
Easy
To kill most microorganisms, simply turn on the DeGERM-inator and shine the short-wave UV (254nm) light on any nonporous surface for 6 to 8 seconds*.
Durable
Made of a rugged engineering polymer that is shock-proof and impact-resistant.
Portable
Can be conveniently carried in a pocket, purse, briefcase or auto glove compartment.
Why should I use the DeGERM-inator?
According to medical experts, antibacterial chemicals, soaps, detergents, lotions and creams can lose their sanitizing properties when overused. This increases the danger of developing super-bacteria that are resistant to conventional antibiotics. You can avoid this health risk by using the DeGERM-inator.
Are there any risks in using the DeGERM-inator?
Unlike personal hygiene products, the DeGERM-inator is used only on the objects you touch — not your body. It is completely safe when used as directed.
How effective is the DeGERM-inator?
Extremely effective! Antibacterial agents found in personal hygiene products may not kill all the bacteria. Many bacteria merely mutate into tougher, drug-resistant strains. On the other hand, the germicidal ultraviolet light emitted by the DeGERM-inator damages the DNA in bacteria and viruses, killing over 90% of them outright!
Two Models to Choose From
The pocket-sized UV-5D measures just 87/8 inches (22.5 cm) long and weighs only 101/4 oz (290 g).
For extra versatility, order the UV-5ND dual-wavelength lamp. The UV-5ND features a long-wave/short-wave (365/254nm) multi-band UV tube with LONGLIFE™ glass filters and a sliding dual-wavelength selector cover. Each filter measures 2 13/16 x 13/15 inches (5.6 x 2.1 cm). Lamp measures 9 inches (22.9 cm) long and weighs just 12 oz (340 g). The long-wave (365nm) UV light is perfect for sanitary inspection and countless quality control applications, while the germicidal short-wave (254nm) UV light quickly kills or renders harmless a wide range of bacteria and viruses!
Both lamps work on four AA alkaline batteries (not included) or AC power. Come complete with FREE nylon carrying strap, nylon travel pouch and AC adapter.

For optimal use, operate at 77°F (25°C) at a maximum distance of 0.5 inch (1.3cm) with fresh batteries (less than 3 hours of use).
* Tests conducted and verified under Anastasia Gregoriades, Ph.D., at Queens College (New York) established the kill ratio by the DeGERM-inator™ on the organisms cited.
- The lethal exposure time of the organism is determined by the wavelength of radiation, density of radiant flux (µW/cm²) and time.
- The time required to kill or inactivate greater than 90% is proportionate to the ratio of the required killing energy and the irradiance of the light source, i.e., Time = Energy Required (µW.sec/cm²)/ Irradiance (µW/cm²).
- The ultraviolet output can vary considerably with temperature, distance and battery charge.
- Safe exposure limits for ultraviolet germicidal radiation have been set by the American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienists, as noted below.
