CLEVELAND, May 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Daylight
Medical (www.daylightmedical.com), a manufacturer of innovative
medical devices and an affiliate of Codonics Inc.
(www.codonics.com), a global leader in patient safety and image
documentation solutions, today announced it has completed the sale
of its UVC disinfection business to Sealed Air's
(www.sealedair.com) (NYSE: SEE) Diversey Care
(www.diversey.com).
Located on the Codonics-Daylight Medical campus, Daylight
Medical's UVC technologies are highly innovative, ultra-portable
and proven effective, yet affordably designed. Diversey Care
acquired Daylight Medical's UVC solutions, including the MoonBeam3™
disinfection system, SKY™ 6Xi and 7Xi devices, as well as a robust,
ground-breaking pipeline of futures. Designed to disinfect patient
rooms, surfaces, non-critical equipment, and devices, Daylight
Medical's UVC solutions are proven to provide safe and targeted
dosing of UVC light to quickly and effectively kill harmful
pathogens, including bacteria and C. difficile.
"Daylight Medical's UVC technology is game-changing, bringing
ease of use and effectiveness together with a total lower cost that
enables facilities to incorporate these devices into daily cleaning
and disinfection protocols quickly and easily," said Peter O. Botten, owner, Daylight Medical.
"Incorporating Daylight's technology into Diversey's portfolio of
leading infection prevention solutions will quickly ramp up their
use in facilities across the globe. Helping create safer
environments has always been our goal, and we're excited to see
that fast-tracked by partnering with Diversey."
MoonBeam3 is a lightweight, portable device designed for area,
room and non-critical equipment disinfection. MoonBeam3 uses
high-intensity UVC to penetrate into the cells of pathogens,
viruses, bacteria and spores and achieves up to a 3- to 6-log
reduction (99.9% to 99.9999%). MoonBeam3 has three articulating
arms, designed to optimize the UVC dose delivered to surfaces.
SKY 6Xi and 7Xi are designed for tablet and phone disinfection,
an important source of risk to address as usage of these devices
increases for hospital staff, visitors and patients. Their compact
size enables them to be placed around the healthcare enterprise,
making it easy and convenient to effectively remove dangerous
pathogens from mobile devices.
"When combined with consistent and proper manual cleaning and
disinfection, UVC disinfection technology has the power to reduce
the spread of pathogens that can cause dangerous infections," said
Dr. Iham Kadri, President, Diversey Care. "Daylight's innovations
are a synergistic fit with our existing infection prevention
platform. Adjunct technologies, such as these no-touch disinfection
devices, will allow all facilities concerned with preventing
infection, from hospitals to schools to airports, to add an
additional level of assurance to their existing protocols."
