UV light is electromagnetic radiation with wavelengths shorter than visible light. UV can be separated into various wavelength ranges, with the short-wavelength UV, or UV-C considered to be germicidal. Furthermore, and at the specific wavelength range of 260 to 270 nm, UV-C is found to be mutagenic to bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms. Germicidal UV-C kills or inactivates microorganisms by destroying their nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them unable to perform vital cellular functions.
The SteriZAP® UV-C Room Sterilizer Stainless Steel harnesses the germicidal power of UV-C light, in particular in the 254 nm wavelength. This unit uses shortwave UV lamps that emit ultraviolet light with the major peak output (~90%) band at 253.7 nm. The doped fused quartz glass tubes of the SteriZAP® lamps pass the 254 nm radiation (which produces very low ozone levels) but blocks the 185 nm wavelength (which produce higher ozone levels). The SteriZAP® UV-C Room Sterilizer Stainless Steel is intended for use in disinfection of surfaces in laboratories, hospital rooms, food-processing areas, or any other places where disinfecting and sterilizing are desired.

PRECAUTIONS AND WARNINGS
(a) Read all instructions before using the devices. Use of these devices is only for intended purposes as described in this manual. (B) DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THE DEVICE IN THE PRESENCE OF PEOPLE OR ANIMALS. (C) FOR SAFE AND PROPER OPERATIONS, DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE UNITS IN ANY WAY.
(d) The SteriZAP® UV-C Sterilizer Stainless Steel emits a small amount of ozone gas when operating, which may give off an odor. This is normal; to eliminate this, briefly
aerate the area.
(e) Do not operate the device if the cord or plug is damaged, if it is not working properly, or if the unit has been damaged or dropped. (f) Do not store the device outdoors, or use it near open water– for example near filled sinks or water baths. (g) Do not attempt to repair or open the unit unless you are a qualified repair technician. (h) To avoid injury, handle broken lamps carefully by using protective hand, body, face, and eyewear. Dispose of broken glass in specialized sharps containers and obey all
applicable country and city laws.
SAFETY NOTIFICATION:
UV-C radiation can damage the superficial tissues of the eye, and care must be taken to avoid excessive exposures to eyes. Glass or plexiglass eyewear or face mask can provide protection in case the motion sensor safety shut off malfunctions. Also, extended exposure of exposed skin to UV-C make cause damage to cellular or tissue DNA and should be avoided by wearing protective clothing while near operating UV-C lamps.
Note and Disclaimer
*The SteriZAP® UV-C Sterilizer Stainless Steel is not a replacement or substitute for good cleaning practices. Areas to be sterilized must be free of excess contaminants, especially any visible liquids or solids (for example bodily fluids, debris or dirt). The SteriZAP® Sterilizer Stainless Steel can eliminate or reduce residual surface contaminants, especially
bacterial and fungal, but only if the UV-C light is able to directly impact the contaminated surfaces. Any surfaces or items that are covered or are behind curtains, glass panels or plastic sheeting will not be sterilized by the SteriZAP® UV-C unit. Genlantis makes no claims and offers no guarantees of any kind that the SteriZAP® UV-C Sterilizer
Stainless Steel will eliminate or reduce all contaminants and under all possible circumstances. For best results, users should closely follow the recommended instructions below.

DOSAGE RECOMMENDATIONS
Different germs and contaminants are susceptible to UV-C radiation at different rates. To determine the amount of time needed for sterilization, consult Table 1 on Page 4, and follow these recommendations:
Area coverage is typically determined by the UV lamp wattage. A 15-watt lamp will cover approximately 100 square feet; the SteriZAP’s 220­total lamp watts can theoretically cover an area of about 1,466 square feet, but we recommend only covering an area of about 700 square feet, which translates into a radius of about 15 feet from the SteriZAP® UV-C Sterilizer device (see below for further explanation).
For sterilization time, it is recommended to use the minimum time needed to kill the most difficult organisms at the farthest distance from the device. For example, Table 1 (page 4) shows that Aspergillius niger requires 330,000 µWs/cm2 for a 99% kill rate.
The SteriZAP UV-C Room Sterilizer has the following measured outputs: ≥ 428 µWs/cm2 at 1 foot; 90 µWs/cm2 at 6 feet, 32 µWs/cm2 at 12 feet; 18 µWs/cm2 at 15 feet; and 2 µWs/cm2 at 16.5 feet.
To eradicate Aspergillius niger 15 feet away from the device, 5 hours or run time are needed (330,000/18); at 12 feet it becomes 2.9 hours (330,000/32). This extreme example is used to demonstrate how to calculate distance and time requirements.
Special Note On Covid-19 Sterilization: Because the COVID-19 virus (SARS-CoV-2) is so new, the scientific community doesn’t yet have a
specific deactivation dosage. However, we know the dosage values for comparable viruses in the same SARS virus family are 10-20 µWs/cm2 using direct UVC light at a wavelength of 254nm; this dosage will achieve 99.9% disinfection (i.e., inactivation) under controlled lab conditions. In real-life, the virus is often hidden or shaded from direct UVC light, reducing UVC’s effectiveness. To compensate, researchers are applying dosages of 1,000 - 3,000 µWs/cm2 to ensure 99.9% deactivation, the current CDC disinfection goal.
OPERATION
1. Select area to be sterilized and place the SteriZAP® UV-C Room Sterilizer Stainless Steel in the most central area, or nearest to the most
contaminated area. Pre-clean the area if excessive contamination is present.
2. Use one of the provided keys to unlock the side arms, then unlatch them and pull the lamps out and up 0using the built-in arm handles. Lift the arms up to position them at the desired angles. For low or ground level sterilization, keep arms near the horizonal position. For standard bench surfaces, a 45
angle from vertical would be the most effective.
NOTE: Avoid using lamp arms to move the SteriZAP unit. This will cause the arms to brake at the top pivot point and cause unit
failure and expensive repairs.
3. Plug power cord into wall outlet; the digital display will undergo a brief count up and the digital display will show a colon (:) only.

5. The unit will start to beep as it counts down to lamp activation (20 beeps, or ~20 seconds); during this time, select one of these options:

a. to activate both the left and right arms (4 lamps), press both the and buttons simultaneously;
b. To activate the right arm only (2 lamps), press the button;
c. To activate the left arm only (2 lamps), press the button.
6. Exit the room/area. The unit will turn the UVC lamps on after about 20 seconds from the time the motion detector stops detecting movement. If the unit detects movement during this countdown period, the timer will automatically reset to 20 seconds before turning the UV lamps on.
7. Use copies of page 5 of this manual and affix to the entries or exits of the area being sterilized.
8. During the UV sterilization period, the unit will immediately turn the UV lamps off if motion is detected; the unit will automatically turn the UV lamps back on 20 seconds after movement stops. To prematurely end sterilization cycles, press the Stop button.
