Our Purge Virus Mobile Disinfection (PV-MD) is one of the most cost-effective ways for many facility owners and managers to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) and help reduce the spread of Covid-19 in schools across the country.
The portable device that combines ultraviolet (UVC) with photoplasma has proven disinfection capabilities for viruses, and it also removes odors through ionization.
The device simply rests or mounts on janitorial or housekeeping carts, and the cleaning provider just plugs it into any standard wall outlet in the room that they are cleaning. The device disinfects while the rooms are cleaned!
This Mobile Disinfection is ideal for Schools, Senior Living (Retirement Homes, Nursing Homes, and Assisted Living) as well as Hotels, Motels, Offices, and any other facility that has staff or contract cleaning services.

How Mobile Disinfection Works
Ultraviolet light, ozone, photoplasma, and negatively-charged ions exist in nature as powerful and effective disinfectants, perfectly designed to destroy odors, bacteria, viruses, mold, and mildew, and to break down unwanted chemicals and compounds.
-
UV light is powerful enough to penetrate the cell walls of bacteria and viruses, shattering their DNA, making it impossible for them to grow and reproduce.
-
Negatively-charged ions attract and bind with contaminants in the air, weighing them down.
-
Photoplasma oxidizes and sanitizes
-
Photo-catalytic oxidation breaks down pollutants (including nicotine, urea, and ammonia)
COST and MAINTENANCE: The cost is $450 per unit, with discounts available for volume orders. The maintenance does not require a technician and can be easily done by any facility staff member. Replace the ultraviolet lamp once a year if the device is run 24/7. Germicidal UV-C lamp: $45 or less subject to volume replacement orders. This device does not have filters that need to be replaced.

Covid-19 lessons from 2020 and actions for 2021: In the spring of 2020, property owners, elected officials, administrators of schools and healthcare facilities, and our Purge Virus team were hopeful that Covid-19 would come and go by summer. Needless to say, it persisted and may be with us through the fall of 2021, even with vaccines. New variants also add risks and reasons to proactively go beyond masks, testing, and social distancing. Some of our customers have embraced in-duct and wall-mounted systems to systemically disinfect the air continuously through their buildings. Others have asked about solutions that do not require the time and cost to retrofit Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems. Our Purge Virus Mobile Disinfection (PV-MD) offering was born out of a video conference call in December with the owner of a motel. PV-MD is a cost-effective way to maximize available disinfection technology for 2021 and beyond.

“Getting children back into school safely has been one of the most challenging and polarizing aspects of reopening during the coronavirus pandemic. Many school districts, responding to high levels of community spread, have settled into virtual learning for the long haul. But places where schools are open for in-person instruction have depended on school nurses to monitor virus symptoms, test students and staff for COVID-19, trace the contacts of any positive cases and tell them to quarantine at home.
That’s especially difficult when you’re the only nurse serving hundreds, if not thousands, of students and employees. Just more than half of U.S. public schools had a full-time nurse in 2015-16, the latest year for which such data is available, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. About 18% of schools had no nurse at all. Ahead of this academic year, the National Association of School Nurses called on Congress to pass funding to hire 10,000 more school nurses, calling their role ‘more important than ever before.’”
