Using Your Uv Ultra Vac; How Does It Work - JML Ultra Vac Gebrauchsanleitung

Using Your UV Ultra Vac

What is the UV ULTRA VAC?
The JML UV Ultra Vac has been designed to help clean and disinfect beds, bedding and soft-
upholstery by using a combination of vacuum power, HEPA filter and UV technology.
What is UV-C?
UV stands for ultraviolet
C stands for the particular frequency of UV light that kills germs.
UV-C is a short-wave ultraviolet light invisible to the naked eye and ranges between
200 / 280 nanometres. It has been used in hospitals for sterilisation for over a 100 years.
UV-C (UVC) is also referred to as UVGI (ultraviolet germicidal irradiation).

How does it work?

UV-C penetrates the outer cell structure and alters the DNA molecule, preventing replication
and causing them to die. This process has been proven to be extremely effective against
house dust mites and bed bugs, as well as fungus and bacteria such as E-coli and
Staphylococcus.
What is a HEPA filter?
HEPA is an acronym for "high efficiency particulate air". HEPA is a type of filter that can trap
a large amount of very small particles that other vacuum cleaners would simply re-circulate
back into the air of your home.
HEPA filters are composed of a mat of randomly arranged fibres and are critical in the
prevention of the spread of allergies, airborne bacterial and viral organisms.
The HEPA filter supplied with the UV Ultra Vac is a True HEPA H11 filter and is effective at
trapping 99.97% of allergen particles.
