Clinell Enhanced UV-C Disinfector
Clinell Enhanced UV-C Disinfector's main tower and 4 satellites can be positioned horizontally, vertically and diagonally resulting in the only UV-C system available in full compliance with BS 8628:2022 whilst providing complete room disinfection within 30mins.
Powered by Dolphin Care technology, it's an ideal addition to manual cleaning and disinfection for enhanced decontamination protocols including Clinell Peracetic Acid Wipes and Clinell Drain Disinfectant.
Independently and rigorously tested by experts, Enhanced UV-C Disinfector emits UV-C radiation at a specific antimicrobial wavelength from multiple locations that is proven to achieve a >5 log reduction in bacteria and >4 log reduction in yeasts.

VERIFIED DOSE FOR ASSURED DISINFECTION
Be confident in your results, accurately measure UV-C dose with the UVCense™ Bluetooth Dosimeter.
Ultraviolet: How does ultraviolet radiation (UV-C) work?
UV-C is a type of ultraviolet radiation. At specific wavelengths, UV-C can kill single cell microorganisms. Absorbed into DNA, UV-C causes irregular molecular interactions that prevents the microorganism from reproducing, killing the cell and preventing further infection.
Enhanced UV-C Disinfector emits UV-C at 254nm, this is ideal for killing microorganisms living on surfaces.
Ultraviolet: Should I use UV-C as well as routine cleaning & disinfection?
Ideally, yes. No-touch techniques, including UV-C technologies have been developed to improve disinfection efforts, reduce surface contamination and therefore HCAIs.
In the UK, the Joint Healthcare Infection Society (HIS) and Infection Prevention Society (IPS) guidelines recommend using UV-C as an additional measure to terminal cleaning for the prevention and control of HCAI-causing microorganisms such as MRSA.
Efficacy: Is Enhanced UV-C Disinfector effective against COVID-19?
Yes, Enhanced UV-C Disinfector has proven efficacy against human coronaviruses. Testing by a third party laboratory shows that Enhanced UV-C Disinfector kills >99.99% of human coronaviruses up to 8 feet away in as little as 5 minutes.
COVID-19 is a disease caused by 'SARS-CoV-2', a member of the human coronavirus family. Like many other single cell microorganisms, coronaviruses are highly susceptible to UV-C.
Efficacy: What microorganisms is Enhanced UV-C Disinfector effective against?
The majority of microorganisms are highly susceptible to UV-C. Enhanced UV-C Disinfector has proven efficacy against key hospital pathogens including MRSA, C. diff, human coronavirus, CRE, MDROs and more, validated by third-party laboratories.
Compatibility: Can I use Enhanced UV-C Disinfector on any surface?
Enhanced UV-C Disinfector has no known surface compatibility issues when used as directed. UV-C degradation testing has been conducted on a wide range of materials commonly found in hospital settings. It found that no damage was caused upon exposure to UV-C.
Efficacy: How can I verify the UV-C dose delivered by Enhanced UV-C Disinfector?
The UVCense™ Bluetooth Dosimeter provides laboratory grade performance for highly accurate UV-C measurements. Tailored to specifically capture 254nm wavelength UV-C radiation generated by Enhanced UV-C Disinfector, the UVCense™ dosimeter can confirm whether a sufficient antimicrobial UV-C dose has reached the targeted surface.
Time: How long does Enhanced UV-C Disinfector take to disinfect?
It depends upon the size and complexity of the room you need to disinfect. For a typical en-suite rooms, the recommendation is 1 cycle at 30 minutes but it's crucial the satellites are positioned optimally, ensuring no further cycles are required. Please refer to GAMA’s 'Decontamination Protocols for Single En-suite Rooms'.
Efficacy: Are there any clinical studies supporting the use of UV-C and reduction in HCAIs?
Download a bundle of materials, including poster, 'Evaluation of the efficacy of a multi-tower UV-C system', here for more information.
Safety: What safety features does Enhanced UV-C Disinfector have to ensure people aren’t exposed to UV-C radiation?
• There are 4 infrared motion sensors on the base which prevent operation if movement is detected in the room
• The device won’t start if people are present in the room
• The case doubles as a physical barrier to prevent entry to the room if Enhanced UV-C Disinfector is in use
• The machine uses polymer encapsulated bulbs which help to prevent bulb breakages
• The machine has a remote control operation with an emergency shut off option
Safety: Do the doors need to be taped over when the machine is running?
It is not essential to tape over doors (unless there is a gap >1cm), but this can be done as an extra precaution to stop people entering the room.
Safety: What about ventilation?
No gas or toxic compounds are produced during a cycle, so ventilation and fire alarms do not need to be sealed or capped.
Safety: Is the machine heavy?
Enhanced UV-C Disinfector weighs 50kg. The weight is evenly distributed across four wheels, making it easy to manoeuvre.
Is Enhanced UV-C Disinfector compliant with the relevant regulations?
Enhanced UV-C Disinfector is compliant with:
• The low voltage directive (LVD) 2014/35/EU
• The electromagnetic compatibility directive (EMC) 2014/30/EU
• The restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS) 2011/65/EU.
The multi-tower UV-C system’s flexible satellite positioning enhances UV-C distribution and saves on operational time, making it a more effective solution for comprehensive surface decontamination in healthcare settings.
