77°F
(25°C)
at

(less

Tests
conducted
and
verified
under
Anastasia
Gregoriades,
Ph.D.,
at
Queens
College
(New
York)
established
the
kill
ratio
by
the
DeGERM-inatorTM
on
the
organisms
cited.
- The
lethal
exposure
time
of
the
organism
is
determined
by
the
wavelength
of
radiation,
density
of
radiant
flux
(µW/cm
2)
and
time.
- The
time
required
to
kill
or
inactivate
greater
than
90%
is
proportionate
to
the
ratio
of
the
required
killing
energy
and
the
irradiance
of
the
light
source,
i.e.,
Time
=
Energy
Required
(µW.sec/cm2)/
Irradiance
(µW/cm2).
- The
ultraviolet
output
can
vary
considerably
with
temperature,
distance
and
battery
charge.
- Safe
exposure
limits
for
ultraviolet
germicidal
radiation
have
been
set
by
the
American
Conference
of
Governmental
and
Industrial
Hygienists,
as
noted
below.
