HPUV(Trademark) is one of the most, if not the most, effective disinfecting device I have ever used. I’ve worked with HPUV on several occasions, inactivating the gram negative bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa as well as other unidentified specimens. The device is extremely simple to use but gives outstanding results. I am not aware of its qualitative properties as far as how exactly it is able to disinfect so rapidly, but I can attest to its ability to kill a number of bacteria and viruses. I’ve worked with several bacteria including Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Kingella kingae. HPUV would have no problem inactivating both bacteria.
The High Performance Ultraviolet Light device has several applications. The area that has been most explored is the area of disinfection. HPUV should be used as a sterilization device in most if not all medical professions including AIDS clinics, outpatient clinics, intensive care units, emergency rooms, etc. The primary findings of HPUV’s effect on P. aeruginosa suggest it should be implemented as a sterilization device for other nosocomial infections. About 1.7 million hospital patients contract nosocomial infections resulting in $30 billion spent and 100,000 deaths annually. Respirators and other devices in intensive care units, burn victim units, etc. could be treated with the device.
