This is the same ultraviolet light that has been used safely to sanitize hospitals and disinfect drinking water for over 60 years. The Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum Cleaner is the only chemical-free product that can safely kill the molds, dust mites, germs, viruses and bacteria lurking inside your carpeting and mattresses. Building upon decades of independent research, multiple scientific and medical experts worked exclusively with Halo to design, specify and engineer the optimal UV-C bulb chamber within a vacuum cleaner. The goal was to achieve the desired disinfection during normal vacuum operation. The Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum Cleaner is the successful culmination of this effort. Its patent-pending design kills potentially dangerous micro-organisms by disrupting the DNA structure of their cells. The patent-pending UV-C bulb chamber used within Halo Ultraviolet Vacuums has been designed and engineered to emit UV rays at exactly 253.7 nanometers, the germicidal bandwidth proven to deactivate the DNA of micro-organisms, thus destroying their ability to multiply and cause disease. Run the Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum over your carpets while activating the UV-C bulb with the trigger on the handle and you're deactivating the DNA of the dust mites, viruses, bacteria, fleas, lice and mold that were lurking between the fibers. To test the efficacy of the Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum on dust mites, the team at Halo Technologies engaged Dr. Glen Needham, Ph.D., professor of Entomology and Acarology (the study of mites) at The Ohio State University. Dr. Needham is one of the leading experts on dust mites in the world. His team at The Ohio State University conducted tests using the Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum bulb chamber in December 2005, and he presented his findings to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology under the title "Ultraviolet C Exposure is Fatal to House Dust Mite Eggs." The study concluded that: "Even small doses of UVC from the Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum bulb chamber seem to have a fairly significant effect on the American house dust mite reproduction. We have found that as little as one second of UVC from the Halo Ultraviolet Vacuum bulb chamber results in the death of the American dust mite (AHD) eggs, and five seconds resulted in nearly 100 percent mortality."Decades of research have identified the exact amount of UV-C radiation needed at a wavelength of 253.7 nm to eradicate certain micro-organisms. The Halo patent-pending bulb chamber has an approximate UV-C intensity of 20 mW/cm2; thus it is easy to measure how long it takes to kill 99.99% of the targeted micro-organisms. See the table below:
