Ushio Inc. celebrates far UV-C disinfection with Care222® Day on 22/02/2022

Care222® Technology – Bringing People Together

In celebration of Care222® Day, which takes place in Japan on February 22, 2022, we bring you a message from the Ushio Europe Group President, Mr. Hideaki Onishi:

Today, we celebrate a great weapon in the battle against coronavirus, influenza, and any future pandemics that may come. By harnessing the power of light, Ushio’s Care222® far UV-C disinfection technology is ready to bring people together and help us all return to normality.

For decades, our intensive research and engineering has seen us applying light to life and industries across the world. Now, more than ever, we needed to take the lead in focusing our efforts on helping humanity recover from a devastating couple of years. But, what role can “light” play? What are the potential applications of light? Ushio has been searching for answers since its foundation, because it is our firm belief that light has the power to ensure a safer future in a multitude of ways.

The unified expertise among our colleagues and collaborators has led to the development of a new ultraviolet (UV) technology that can not only sterilise surfaces and air through the power of light, but it can protect the people occupying the space in which it is deployed.

That technology has evolved into the Care222® filtered far UV-C disinfection modules that we have been rolling out over the past year. The Care222® series is a line of krypton chloride (KrCl) excimer lamp modules that are fitted with an integrated filter for highly-effective microbial reduction. Care222® modules deliver a narrow-band of ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) to kill bacteria and inactivate a vast range of viruses, without damaging human cells and tissues.

This revolutionary tool quietly removes the bacteria and viruses while we go about our lives in the spaces where we work, play, and relax together. Ushio’s vision for Care222® light is to play a key role in the creation of a new, safer world free of infectious diseases.

We believe Care222® technology fits this need, and research data supports its use in building a safer future for our friends, families, colleagues, and children. Ushio is committed to expanding the successful and safe implementation of filtered Care222® disinfection across the world.

I wish you all a happy 22/2, as we enter a new era of precautionary pathogen disinfection, where microbial reduction becomes a reality in occupied spaces, with Ushio’s Care222® far UV-C disinfection technology.
