How Pulsed Xenon Technology Works
Pulsed Xenon UV disinfection* technology is the answer to 254nm technology. The unobtrusive module can be installed in the ceiling for full room coverage or lower on the wall to treat hard to reach spaces. Pulsed xenon technology utilizes a broad spectrum of UVA, UVB, and UVC wavelengths delivered in intense pulses every 6 seconds over 30-minute cycle inactivating pathogens.

Patented Filter
People can be present
Surface and Air Treatment
UL Listed
Patented short pass filter removes wavelengths that can penetrate the living tissue in skin or beyond the tear layer in the eyes, creating a narrow band 222nm emission
The 222nm wavelength emitted from the filter does not penetrate the living tissue of the skin or tear layer of the eye. The Care222 module can meet exposure guidelines for occupied space established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH®)***
Care222 solutions can target pathogens** both in the air and on surfaces for a dual treatment solution
Care222 modules are UL Certified and are classified as Risk Group Exempt for photobiological risk. The Risk Group Exempt determination made by UL means that there is no photobiological hazard, as described in IEC 62471, for the module when installed and used in accordance with accompanying written instructions.
The Advantage with Pulsed Xenon
Pulsed Xenon Technology Overview
Pulsed Xenon Lamp
A pulsed xenon lamp is a confined arc flashlamp which produces microsecond to millisecond duration pulses of high radiant intensities capable of operating at high repetition rates. Xenon is the gas used for excitation inside the glass enclosure of the lamp.

Answer
When is pulsed xenon used?
Pulsed Xenon UV disinfection technology is intended for unoccupied spaces and can be used in a variety of applications such as hospitals, acute care clinics, veterinarian hospitals, classrooms and public restrooms. Installation available in drop-in ceilings, recessed hard ceilings, or surface ceiling/wall mount.
Answer
How does pulsed xenon work?
A pulsed xenon lamp is a confined arc flashlamp which produces microsecond to millisecond duration pulses of high radiant intensities capable of operating at high repetition rates. Xenon is an inert, non-toxic gas used for excitation inside the glass enclosure, which is the lamp in this case.
Answer
What is pulsed xenon UV light?
The pulsed xenon lamp emits a powerful, broad-spectrum light that includes germicidal UVC and UVB and antibacterial UVA, in addition to wavelengths through the visible spectrum to 1000nm. Because of the broadband nature of this source, pathogens are targeted with multiple inactivation effects, increasing their susceptibility.
