Abstract

Introduction: UV-C has proven to be an effective virucide and microbicide, and its cost-effectiveness allowed it to spread as a disinfecting procedure in different environments.

Methods: The study aims to determine the microbicide activity on Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli and SARS-CoV-2 of the UV-C Boxer by Cartoni S.p.A. Three separate experiments were performed to assess the effectiveness of the UV-C disinfection device on different materials, directly on surfaces of a video camera and on a specific carrier for SARS-CoV-2.

Results: In all three experiments, a significant abatement of bacterial and viral contamination was reached after 60 seconds on carriers and after 3 minutes on all examined surfaces of the video camera, with a higher reduction on glass carriers.

Conclusions: UV-C devices may be a valuable tool to implement in the working routine to achieve a higher level of safety in work environments.

UV-C盒子能帮电影行业消毒摄像机吗?

导语:UV-C已被证明是一种有效的杀菌剂和杀微生物剂，其成本效益使其能够作为一种消毒程序在不同的环境中传播。方法:本研究旨在测定Cartoni S.p.A公司生产的UV-C Boxer对金黄色葡萄球菌、大肠杆菌和SARS-CoV-2的杀微生物活性。通过三个单独的实验来评估UV-C消毒装置对不同材料、直接在摄像机表面和SARS-CoV-2特定载体上的有效性。结果:在所有三个实验中，细菌和病毒污染在载体上60秒后和在摄像机所有检测表面上3分钟后都显著减少，玻璃载体上的减少幅度更大。结论:UV-C装置可能是一种有价值的工具，可以在日常工作中实施，以实现更高水平的安全工作环境。
