Safety Warnings
ULTRAVIOLET (UV-C) EXPOSURE WARNING
Light in the short-wave UV-C band can cause erythema (reddening of the skin) and conjunctivitis
(inflammation of the mucus membranes of the eye). People should avoid direct exposure to UV-C.
UV-C exposure is relatively easy to limit because most products absorb UV-C. Standard windows
and glass absorbs all UV-C. Dead skin absorbs most UV-C light energy, so erythema is limited. UV-
C does not penetrate the eye’s lens. However, conjunctivitis can occur and, though temporary,
may be extremely painful. The manufacturer recommends that all direct exposure to UV-C be
avoided. Safety glasses must be worn at all times the device is plugged in; in addition, it is highly
recommended that a protective garment such as a lab coat is worn while operating the device. In
case of accidental UV-C exposure, contact appropriate EMS.
HIGH VOLTAGE HAZARD
The unit uses high voltages, and proper electrical connections are required. Do not operate the
unit if there is any visible damage to the body or any other part.
HOT SURFACE
UV Lamps will become hot during use and will remain hot for a brief period after use. Lamps
should not be touched for at least 2 minutes after use.
