UV LED 5 Min kills type 99.9% C virus

[Reuters] as long as the first irradiation for the space station sterilization Violeds up to 5 minutes, you can achieve the effect of hepatitis C sterilization of 99.9%.

Hepatitis C is an infectious and incurable disease that is an effective way to prevent and prevent infection.

There are a variety of disinfection applications, such as home type sterilization devices, disinfection equipment for stethoscope, medical equipment, brush, etc..

At present, Arabia, Saudi Arabia, multinational assistance, ongoing research on the effectiveness of MERS virus disinfection.

UVLED (ultraviolet light emitting diode) solutions company Seoul Viosys announced that they will study the space station disinfection technology Violeds provided to the South Korean research center of hepatitis C (NRL), the researchers found that after hepatitis C 99.9% in 5 minutes exposure all killed.

A recent outbreak of hepatitis C in a hospital in South Korea is expected to improve the status quo. Hope from the most basic disinfection of patients and medical staff will come into contact with the goods to make contact with patients with hepatitis C items, such as dental equipment, blood needles, scalpels, scissors and surgical treatment, patient bed and table bed and syringes, can effectively kill the hepatitis C virus.

Hepatitis can be classified into five types according to the type of virus, that is, A, B, C, D and hepatitis E. Hepatitis C infection through blood, body fluids, sexual behavior, or use of contaminated medical equipment. Infected people will develop chronic hepatitis, and there is no effective vaccine to prevent hepatitis C.

The biggest contribution of the study led by Professor Soon-bongHwang is using Violeds to eliminate hepatitis C virus. In contrast, the use of raw materials UV mercury lamp will form a source of pollution, and this kind of mercury lamp is usually bulky, accounting for space. Needless to say, the heat dissipation problem of mercury lamp should be solved. The Violeds efficient, lightweight, longer life characteristics also make this technology can be made into a miniature medical equipment.

Seoul Viosys plans to cooperate with Hallym University's research team, the technology to the world, to prevent cross infection of hepatitis C.

Violeds technology is not only used in hepatitis C, but also for the study of methods to kill MERS virus. Nobel prize winner professor MERS, who is a consultant to the Viosys UV LED in Seoul, said he accepted the government of Arabia,, to undertake a study of the eradication of the virus.

Professor Soon-BongHwang of Hallym University in South Korea hepatitis authority Life Sciences said: "Violeds can eliminate the hepatitis 99.9%C virus, we hope that this technique can be widely applied to clinical infectious disease prevention, reduce the spread of the virus. I also hope that this technology can be extended to everyday life, become a popular mass disinfection technology, become a useful tool in the medical field. "

GichoonLee, vice president of Seoul Viosys is put forward, in South Korea, small and medium-sized enterprises to conduct research and commercialization of a technology can be said to be a technical difficulties, after ten years of development time, we hope the government can in the commercial aspects of the favorable technology more actively, and provide substantial help technology can benefit the people. "

In addition, he also said that Seoul will continue to develop Viosys, it can make a contribution to human health, such as continuing towards the research by Violeds and MERS to eliminate Ebola virus disinfection technology progress.
