The effectiveness of sterilization is directly related to the efficiency of UVC lamps. According to studies carried out in direct exposure on a surface, the guaranteed effectiveness is 99.9%. (IUVA source)

It should be noted that any virus, including COVID-19, cannot be destroyed. UVCs always act on the surface of the material, altering the structure of the virus (RNA) turning it harmless. In the case of PHYS, it all comes down to the exposure time. We also know that the virus only lasts normally up to 2 hours in a tissue surface.

PHYS was designed to optimize the sterilization rate of the surface and / or material that happens once inside of the chamber. The chemical process that takes place inside the chamber can generate ozone, which on the one hand optimizes the sterilization process initiated by the lamps, but if it was not extracted, then it would pose a biological risk for humans. However, PHYS has an inside filter that transforms the ozone into oxygen, safeguarding any biological risk.

Yes. PHYS has been tested on a variety of material types, including leather.

: Yes. But as the UVC lamps are in the inner chamber, and there are security mechanisms in place, the risk is almost nil.

No. The emission of radiation takes place inside the inner chamber. And after the process is completed - sterilization and removal of the article (s) they become harmless to human touch.

Yes. Through an API (under development) you can integrate with existing software.

Yes, it is possible to arrange the units in a 'Tetris' style or to work independently.
