UL Grants First UL Certification for Large-Scale Mobile UV Disinfection System to PurpleSun

Craig DiLouie April 20, 2020

UL recently announced that PurpleSun has received the first UL Certification for a large-scale mobile ultraviolet disinfection system, the company’s E300 Modular Paneling System.

The PurpleSun E300 was certified to the harmonized Standard, IEC 61010-1, 3rd Edition plus Amendment 1, the standard for general safety requirements for use of electrical equipment used in laboratories and healthcare facilities. PurpleSun received certification after the E300 Modular Paneling System passed extensive electrical and ultraviolet light emission testing, including risk mitigation analysis.

PurpleSun’s Ultraviolet Modular Paneling System, which can be deployed to various hospital areas, uses Focused Multivector Ultraviolet (FMUV) light – focused light energy to improve germicidal effectiveness and speed – to quickly kill off organisms on medical and lab equipment.

According to the manufacturer, the modular mobile PurpleSun unit can be used to disinfect equipment in an operating room, hallway, or patient room while staff continue to work around the system. For example, the unit can be deployed to quickly disinfect a stretcher immediately after patient use, alleviating the need to interrupt critical room and equipment downtime while promoting the health and safety of healthcare workers and patients.
