Applied UV
Applied UV Inc. is a pathogen elimination technology company that applies the power of narrow-range ultraviolet light (UVC) for surface areas and catalytic bioconversion technology for air purification to destroy pathogens. The company announced MedLine, its exclusive North American scientific air management healthcare distribution partner, placed a large multi-unit follow-on order for its patented S200 mobile air purification system.
Since 2015, Scientific Air three-stage, advanced UVC carbon and HEPA filtration systems have been improving indoor air quality 24/7 in high-traffic, occupied spaces at healthcare facilities throughout the United States.
The follow-on order for mobile S200 air purification is in further support of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) policy announced earlier in the year to ease visitation in long-term care facilities. Under the CMS policy guidance, it provides funding available for long-term care providers looking to make air quality upgrades to their facilities to reduce the spread of COVID-19.
Additionally, the air purification sales channel is the strongest in the company’s history due to increased awareness around improving indoor air quality, the impact of the marketing campaign launched earlier in the quarter, coupled with expanded domestic distribution.
“The CMS Policy guidance acknowledges the critical role that pathogen elimination solutions can play in protecting both the frontline Heroes in Long-term Care and the elderly patients in their care in the fight against the spread of COVID-19 and other airborne pathogens,” stated John F. Andrews, Applied UV’s CEO and director. “This initiative CMS has unleashed, ensures that cost is not a barrier for long-term care providers wishing to ease visitation restrictions that have been in place, but also offers longer term solutions to protect its patients, staff, and visitors. It has been well documented the unimaginable emotional toll placed on families who have been physically separated by strict facility visitation restrictions throughout the course of this 3-year pandemic.”
