59S FAQ

UV  refers to ultraviolet light produced by the sun. There are three different types of UV light - UVA, UVB and

UVC. 

​UVC refers the UV light with the wavelength between 200-290 nanometers (nm). It is the highest energy level of UV and is almost entirely filtered out by the atmosphere before reaching the Earth's surface. 

Is it Dangerous?

The skin and eyes should not be exposed to 59S UV light. All 59S products are designed to have no eye or skin contact so represent little to no risk if used correctly.

UVC technology has been used in medical and commercial disinfection techniques for many years. UVC technology uses no harmful chemicals, heat, steam or ozone, making it the most effective and safe sterilisation method to date.​

Proven Technology

​UVC eliminates up to 99.99% of germs and bacteria by destroying their DNA & RNA strands. UVC rays penetrate cells and damage the nucleic acid, therefore making them unable to reproduce and microbiologically inactive.

Most 59S UVC products have "peep" windows that allow you to see the purple light being emmitted safely. Except for the 59s S6 PaciPod, which runs for 59 seconds, all other 59S products run a 3 minute sterilisation cycle.

Please refer to the operation manual of each product but all 59S products have either a flashing light indicator or countdown timer which display the progress of the sterilisation cycle. Flashing light usually represents a cycle still in progress. 

All product sterilisation times are indicated in the operation manuals. The following list represents a brief summary:
