UV222® Introducing the first non-harmful Far UV-C lamp
Safety in a different light
Deactivation of up to 99.9 percent of viruses including SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens in a few minutes without harming human skin or eyes. Our combination of Far UV-C light and patented safety filter technology is a breakthrough for the disinfection of occupied spaces.
The disinfecting potential of Far UV-C light has been recognised for years, but researchers and companies in the sterilisation industry have continued to struggle with one particular safety concern: even when a Far UV-C lamp is designed to emit Far UV-C light of 222 nanometres (nm) only, the nature of UV-C light is that the lamp will inevitably emit small amounts of secondary emissions in other wavelengths as well.
These secondary emissions in other wavelengths than 222 nm can potentially be harmful to human tissue and eyes.
However, with the patented safety filter technology, we are now able to eliminate that safety concern, making UV222 a major breakthrough in the market.
Reliable And Safe
UV-C light at 222 nm is highly effective against pathogens, including bacteria and viruses, such as SARS-CoV-2 – and what is most important, it is not harmful to humans or animals. UV222 has been developed and patented by Columbia University, engineered, and thoroughly tested in close cooperation with a plethora of universities and lamp manufacturers like Ushio, developing Care 222 filtered Far-UV. Leading the world towards more effective methods of disinfection requires intense testing and results.

Far- UV of 222nm has been cultivated to be as efficient as conventional UV light without penetrating and damaging the skin and eyes, meaning there are no health risks to human exposure. Using filtered Far-UV, exposure can safely provide up to 90% inactivation of airborne human pathogens in occupied public locations. UV222 disinfects without the use of mercury unlike conventional UV lighting, while also not using any chemicals and leaving no residue.

Care222® filters out dangerous UV-C rays: Beware of imitations and manipulated data!
Ushio is very keen to stress that unfiltered excimer discharge lamps are not mono-spectral. This means that although Care222® has a peak wavelength of 222 nm, wavelengths between 200 nm and 320 nm are also emitted at various intensities. For this reason, Ushio has worked with research partners from around the world to develop an optical band-pass filter which prevents harmful UV-C rays from leaving the lamp. This patented filter has been exclusively licenced to Ushio.
With that said, Ushio would like to issue a very serious warning. There are many companies and groups advocating the use of UV-C disinfection, but they do so without stressing the serious nature of this band of radiation. Without the crucial optical band-pass filter, even Ushio’s 222 nm technology would be harmful to humans. It is important that you question your UV-C disinfection lamp supplier very carefully. If they simply tell you that 222 nm is safe and their lamp does not emit any other wavelength – walk away and find a supplier that knows what they are talking about. Failure to do so could put you in a situation that risks damage to the health of anyone who is exposed to unfiltered UV radiation.

Safety
UV222 is 100% safe to use in the presence of humans and animals, and fully complies with the international standards of UV radiation. When fitted with a patented safety filter technology, a Far UV-C lamp will avoid all harmful wavelengths and provide safe disinfection.
Efficacy
222nm is an effective disinfection method with immediate proven results. Research from across the world has proven 222nm germicidal effect on airborne and surface viruses, bacteria and pathogens. Deactivates up to 99.9% of pathogens both in the air and on surfaces within a few minutes.
Knowledge
UV222 is developed and engineered in cooperation with several universities and is thoroughly tested and documented. Filtered UV222 is based on the patented scientific research of Columbia University in the US. UV Medico® fitting uses CARE222® lamp and filter by USHIO®.
Ecological
USHIO Care222® lamp does not contain mercury. The Krypton Chloride Excimer lamp UV222 has been proven to be extremely effective in disinfection without chemicals or residue.

Fight the spread of infectious diseases with human-safe UV light
Breakthrough technology – A new weapon in the fight against superbugs | David Brenner
Since the widespread use of antibiotics began in the 1940s, we’ve tried to develop new drugs faster than bacteria can evolve — but this strategy isn’t working. Drug-resistant bacteria known as superbugs killed nearly 700,000 people last year, and by 2050 that number could be 10 million — more than cancer kills each year. Can physics help? In a talk from the frontiers of science, radiation scientist David Brenner shares his work studying a potentially life-saving weapon: a wavelength of ultraviolet light known as far-UVC, which can kill superbugs safely, without penetrating our skin.
