Advisories
Purpose
The Energenics UV-MAX system has been designed to offer direct disinfection exposure to
surface areas. The system design allows for microbial disinfection control.
The Energenics UV-MAX system was developed as a disinfection tool, utilizing Ultraviolet
Light (UV) for direct exposure disinfection. The system can disinfect 360 degrees from the
system center.

UV-MAX Safe Operation Procedure
1. Always wear personal protective equipment (PPE) when operating UV-MAX to limit
exposure to light
2. Place UV-MAX in area to be treated
3. Ensure the PIR Sensors (Passive Infrared) are positioned to the re-entry point. PIR
sensors operations are explained in the FAQ section at the end of this manual.
4. Connect UV-MAX to 120vac plug receptacle
5. Press start on UV-MAX control and exit treatment area
6. Adhere to recommended safety precautions to avoid potential injury
Safety
1. Do not look directly at a UV lamp in operation without wearing approved safety
glasses.
2. The space should be vacant and closed prior to UV-MAX operation
3. Never command the system on when the treatment space is occupied

Safety Guidelines
Exposure to UV-C light is dangerous. The adverse health effects that may occur are erythema
(sunburn) and photokeratitis (a feeling of sand in the eyes). These effects are considered
transient. UV-C may also be carcinogenic but since it has very limited penetrating ability, it is
unlikely to cause damage to anything beyond the outer layer of skin or other exposed
surfaces. Unfortunately, there are no immediate warning symptoms to indicate overexposure
to UV radiation and adverse effects typically appear hours after exposure has occurred.
The Energenics UV-MAX is designed for zero user exposure to UV-C; however, we will review
safety factors regarding UV-C for better knowledge and understanding.
Protective Clothing and Eye wear
It is not recommended that any personnel be subject to direct UV-C exposure. Personnel
that may be exposed to harmful amounts and wavelengths of UV must take adequate steps to
shield themselves and in some cases limit the duration of exposure.
If there is any potential for the eyes and face to be exposed to UV radiation, a polycarbonate
face shield stamped with the ANSI Z87.1-1989 UV certification must be worn to protect the
eyes and face. Ordinary prescription eyeglasses may not block UV radiation. UV certified
goggles and safety glasses will protect the eyes, but workers may suffer facial burns in the
areas not covered by the goggles or glasses.
OSHA Guidelines for Ultraviolet Exposure
There is no Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard regarding
exposure to ultraviolet light, but the OSHA general duty clause states the employer must
provide a workplace free of recognized hazards that may cause death or serious physical
harm.

FAQ (continued)
Q: What is a PIR (Passive Infrared) Sensor?
A: Passive InfraRed sensors (PIRs) are electronic devices which are used in some
security alarm systems to detect motion of an infrared emitting source, usually a human
body.
Q: Is UV-C disinfection strictly line of sight?
A: Yes, it needs to shine on the surface to disinfect. It will not go around objects or
disinfect shadowed areas.
Q: Does UV-C light reflect off surfaces?
A: Yes, UV-C reflects off many surfaces, but loses its intensity dramatically. All material
surfaces offer different reflection property levels.
Q: Is the UV-C light I can see under the door dangerous?
A: Zero exposure to people is imperative so block it or protect your eyes and skin
Q: Does UV-C light go through glass or windows?
A: Standard window glass blocks almost 100% of UV-C light according to the IUVA.
(Normal glass, as used in a window, is transparent to UV radiation to a wavelength of
about 330 nm (UV-A). The transparency is quite high so almost all UV-A light will pass
through glass. Below 330 nm (UV-B and UV-C), almost 100% is blocked by normal
glass.
Q: Can I use a response card with the UV MAX?
A: Yes, it can be used to indicate the correct dosage (intensity x
time x distance) has been applied to a surface

15
FAQ (continued)
Q: Do I need to clean all surfaces first?
A: Best practices for infection prevention remain the multi-step clean and disinfect
process. Visible soil must always be removed from surfaces prior to a UV disinfection
treatment. UV disinfection system operators must comply with guidelines put in place by
their organization.
Q: Why do my ATP readings sometimes come up high?
A: Exposure to ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) disrupts the DNA of
microorganisms, inhibiting their ability to replicate and ultimately leading to their demise.
Even after rendering microorganisms "sterile" through UVGI, organic remnants
detectable in ATP tests may persist both within these sterilized microorganisms and in
the residual "skeletons" of deceased microorganisms left on the testing surface. ATP
readings will decline as the UVC inactivated microorganisms perish, and as the remnants
of dead microorganisms are eliminated from the surface through regular activities,
cleaning, or by simply rinsing with water.
Q: How can I test if UV is disinfecting my surfaces?
A: Confirmation of efficacy can be made through adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing or
by sending test samples to a third-party laboratory. ATP is the energy molecule found in
all living and once-living things, making it a good indicator when trying to determine if a
surface is clean or not. ATP is quantified by measuring the "light" produced through its
reaction with a naturally-occurring enzyme. The amount of light produced, expressed in
relative light units (RLU) is directly proportional to the amount of biological energy present
in the sample. Additional information may be found at https://www.hygiena.com/hygiene-
monitoring/atp-cleaning-verification/surface-atp
