ABOUT THE PRODUCT
The ASEPT.1X Max is a surface disinfection unit operating with UVC. The ASEPT.1X Max unit pushes the limits of surface
disinfection by automatically disinfecting patient bathrooms, which are a well-known reservoir of nosocomial diseases in hospitals.
For information or recommendations on how to size your specic application, please call SANUVOX at 1-888-726-8869.
COMPONENTS
How it Works
Completely automated, the ASEPT.1X Max unit includes the following safety features: redundant passive infrared motion
sensors (02 PIR) and magnetic door detector set. This allows the unit to only operate when no one is in the patient bathroom,
for a minimum of 5-minute disinfection cycles after each use. Cycle time can be increased at the factory to account for larger
room size. ASEPT.1X Max can disinfect up to 99.9999% of contaminants such as VRE, C.difcile, MRSA and Inuenza A virus,
by sterilizing the most commonly touched areas if adequate exposure time allows the delivery of sufcient UVC dose. Consult
factory representative for adequate sizing. The ASEPT.1X Max can be installed on the ceiling or wall-mounted.
More details are available in the product specication sheet and in the ‘Medical’ section of our website: www.sanuvox.com

USAGE SCENARIOS
Objective: To maximize the unit effectiveness with the adequate dose of UV, it is necessary to identify which surfaces are most
likely to be contaminated. Place the unit so that it is closest to all of these surfaces. The closer a surface is to the lamp, the
greater the UV dose for a given exposure time.
A minimum dose of 50mJ/cm2, is recommended to disinfect a hard surface of the majority of microorganisms such as MRSA ,
Clostridium sordellii, VRE, C-Difcile spores, Enterococcus faecalis and Norovirus. Surfaces must be directly exposed to UV
light to be disinfected.
In order to optimize the location of the ASEPT.1X Max, identify key surfaces to be disinfected.
For example, in a bathroom, the 3 most important key surfaces that must be in the disinfection area are:
• Toilet
• Sink
• Door handle
The following gures illustrate optimal and inadequate locations for the installation of the unit, with the areas where the minimum
level of UV irradiation is present.
Optimal Location
The disinfection area covers the toilet, sink and door handle.
