Breathe Safe with Smart Disinfection Technologies

The emphasis on social hygiene, with a keen sensitivity toward what we breathe and touch in our day to day lives, has never been greater, particularly in the post- COVID-19 era. The rising demand to sanitize and disinfect public spaces comes as a clarion call to people, and property owners in particular (commercial or social), to look for smart disinfecting technologies. Such a grave situation has led to an increased demand for devices for indoor air and surface disinfection; but, finding the most suitable devices can often be cumbersome for businesses, property owners, and individuals alike. This predicament primarily exists because most devices in the market fall short in operating efficiently in places with a high concentration of people and require people to vacate these spaces for a long time.

Striving to address such shortcomings of purification and disinfection systems, Germ, a Slovakia-based company, steps in, offering solutions to purify air and surfaces, reduce the uncontrollable spread of infections, including COVID-19. The company is setting new standards of social hygiene by providing intelligent, efficient, ecological and sustainable disinfection solutions in places with a high concentration of people. With years of expertise in air conditioning and hospitality, the company has designed its diverse range of equipment, envisioning the prevention of infections such as the common flu and similar health issues. Their vision took a new shape in the wake of the pandemic, where ideas were transformed into specific innovative devices to help fight the fear of the new virus. Interestingly, Germ’s smart and mobile devices are proven to offer greater freedom to organizations in disinfecting spaces as per demand, with or without human presence.

“As we care about what we eat, we should also care about what we breathe,” mentions Milos Antecky, Managing Director of Germ. “This is where we come in to offer efficient, ecological, sustainable and smart devices that disinfect air and surfaces without leaving behind any harmful compounds.”

Germ presents devices equipped with smart technologies that enable employee safety, better air quality in operation, removal of odour and much more. Their most powerful device, Bonaventum, is an innovative air and surface disinfecting equipment that uses germicidal radiation and ozone for disinfection. It employs over five stages of filtration and can treat up to a limit of 3000m3 of air every hour. This device can perform with or without the presence of people and is completely mobile, easy to handle, requiring no construction interventions for installations. Bonazone, another equipment of the product range, works without the presence of people, disinfects the air and surfaces. It mainly uses the disinfecting effects of ozone and is fully mobile. The unique deozonation process gives an edge to the device over its contemporaries in the market that do not control the ozone levels and are unable to determine how long the spaces need to be vacated.

Adding more to the prolific catalogue of devices is Bonalux, an air purifier with germicidal radiation. It is quiet to run and also provides a plasma generator as an option. The company’s devices are cost-effective and simple to handle, with no requirement for refills.

Further, the devices are equipped with safety sensors that make these safe to use for disinfection. Germ’s technologies also enable the users to have a complete overview of the devices’ operations and room’s air quality onsite or remotely through the supported mobile applications. Moreover, the ability to remove odour and disinfect ozone even in hard-toreach places is simply icing on the cake. These devices also do not generate plastic waste, thereby uplifting the ecological quotient.

What gives Germ an edge over its contemporaries is its unique deozonation system. The system has embedded sensors that can detect the exact ozone levels in the environment and indicate when it drops below a specific value, beyond which the efficiency of the system is compromised. Further, the system absorbs the residual ozone after disinfection and converts it into safe oxygen, unlike contemporary devices in the market that simply produce ozone or deozonize but do not necessarily check the ozone, thereby leading to unsafe room conditions, GERM devices control the ozone levels throughout the ozoning and deozonation process. Customers can also control multiple Bonaventum and Bonazone devices remotely through mobile applications and obtain real-time insights into air temperature, humidity, CO2, and ozone concentration. Besides, they can also monitor when and who operates the devices.

Emergency facilities and hospitals use Germ devices to reduce the risk of infection with flu while waiting in the specialist rooms. Similarly, nursing homes for the elderly utilize Germ offerings to keep the environment safe as they are more susceptible to diseases. Additionally, Germ devices are the most suitable purifiers in high-risk areas such as the COVID containment and infectious diseases department, staff dining areas, and isolation rooms amidst the pandemic.

While the hunt for intelligent technologies is on, Germ has brought to the table some incredible solutions to cater to the diverse needs of an extensive customer base. As we move ahead, COVID-19 might become history. Still we have to be prepared for more viruses and their mutations as they might become the threat for our environment and our lives. The need to purify spaces remains a constant “an elementary aspect” for safe and healthy human lives. And, Germ is all set to offer people the most powerful solutions for purifying air and surfaces.

“We strive to help customers not only to fight the pandemic but fight for good quality air in every operation and aspect of our lives,” concludes Antecky.
