Germicidal UV cabinet for instruments, 15 W

The germicidal cabinet is a metal box with a UV-C lamp inside. It is used to keep instruments that have already been sterilised clean, in the time between the autoclave and use: lay them on the grid, close the door and start a short treatment.

It needs saying clearly, as the manufacturer does: it is not a steriliser, it does not replace the autoclave and it is not a medical device. Instruments must first be cleaned and sterilised; the cabinet comes in afterwards.

The treatment is set with the timer, up to 9 minutes, and the lamp switches off by itself when time is up. A safety switch on the door prevents it from switching on with the door open: the UV-C rays stay shut inside the cabinet. Always close the door before starting; use is restricted to trained staff. The reflective stainless steel interior spreads the light, and the unit can stand on the bench or be wall-mounted.
