BlueGuard LEDS® kill MRSA, Staph, Listeria and more...
BlueGuard LEDS® has a complete line of patent pending anti-bacterial Blue Lights. These lights were specifically designed to kill MRSA, Staph, Listeria and other pathogenic bacteria. Its anti- microbial affects kill viruses as well.
In the United States, MRSA is the 10th leading cause of death in humans and is the most frequently identified antimicrobial drug-resistant pathogen in hospitals and other healthcare facilities. BlueGuard LEDS® is now offering its patent pending line of LEDS to the Healthcare Industry to address MRSA, Staph and other pathogenic bacteria concerns. BlueGuard LEDS® products can supplement UV-C robots or in many cases replace them. Also, unlike other blue light competitors, BlueGuard LEDS® does not require expensive replacement fixtures to function. BlueGuard is an installed lighting source that fits into existing light fixtures and does not require anyone to operate the disinfecting process other than to turn on the light in the designated room. Initially, bacteria is killed over 5 minutes to 60 minutes and it continues to treat the area’s environment. BlueGuard LEDS® can be operated in the presence of people, is safe and non-obtrusive. This means that continuous disinfection can take place in dynamic environments during period of high activity and hence high bacterial transmission. Different bacterial species are killed at slightly different rates. Consequently, continuous disinfection is particularly advantageous.
