Sanitizer
Device.
CARLSBAD,
CA -- February 1, 2021 -- InvestorsHub NewsWire
-- OPTEC
International, Inc. (OTC
Pink: OPTI),
a
developer
of UV and UV-C safety products using related advanced technologies
specific to Personal Protection Equipment (PPE), today announced
the introduction of the
company's UV-C Escalator Handrail
Sanitizer device. (OPTEC
Sani-Rail).
After several months
of, design,
testing
and certifications the OPTEC Sani-Rail technology
will be
available for USA
distribution
beginning March 2021 from the company's California
distribution
centers and Internationally
by June 2021.
The
OPTEC
UVC
Handrail sanitizer was designed to assist with
safer re-opening of
Shopping Malls,
Municipalities public
transportation
terminals,
Airports, Convention
Centers,
Hotels, Hospitals,
and
other public
sectors
where
Escalators are
in constant daily
use.
Handrails
are considered by many to be dirty and unsanitary, which are
primary reasons why people do not hold on to the
handrail and
considered
unsafe
and
dirty. By
using the OPTEC Sani-Rail
device
the risk of infection or transfer of germs
and bacteria are significantly reduced. UV-C
wavelengths effectively eliminate harmful bacteria on handrail
surfaces at the
same time eliminating
the
use of toxic chemicals as a
use of manually applied option for
sterilization during the escalator
operation.
This
OPTEC
sterilizer
module is mounted internally to eliminate the risk of passenger
pinch-points and
UV-C exposure.
A Universal Solution
for Handrail Sanitization
The
product blocks many sources of
infection from spreading by destroying
the DNA
of germs and bacteria
via UV
LED light having a wavelength range
of
252-275
nanometers.
The lamp
continuously disinfects the rails while the escalator is
moving, and
because
of its
internal
mounting
remains harmless
for
exposure to the human
body using
UVGI
technology.
UVGI
disinfects using UV light to kill or destroy microorganisms by
targeting their nucleic acids or disrupting their DNA, which leaves
them unable to perform their cellular functions. UVGI is used to
disinfect air, water, aquariums, and is also used in
laboratory and hospital
environments for improved hygiene.
The
OPTEC Sani-Rail Handrail
Sterilizer is an easy upgrade
for retrofitting
existing escalators and power walks and
easily
integrated into new installations,
regardless of equipment manufacturer. The
sterilizer can
be
easily installed on escalators and generates power on its own —
converting the movement of the escalator's handrail into
electricity. The sterilization lamp has a life
in excess of
10,000 hours.
