GermAwayUV 55 Watt Table Top UVC Surface Sanitizer

The GermAwayUV Table Top UVC Surface Sanitizer is a 55-watt, standalone ultraviolet sterilization system designed for indoor spaces. Its portable tabletop design allows the unit to be moved throughout a home, building, or other indoor environment and used in areas such as bathrooms, kitchens, offices, classrooms, clinics, and other enclosed spaces.

The system uses UV-C light at a 253.7 nm wavelength to provide ultraviolet disinfection of air and exposed surfaces. The unit features remote-controlled operation, selectable 15-, 30-, and 60-minute treatment cycles, and a 30-second delayed startup that provides time to leave the treatment area before UV-C exposure begins.

The 55W GermAwayUV system is described as providing complete room protection against germs and as being designed to disinfect indoor spaces without the use of chemical disinfectants.

The system is designed as a plug-and-play unit and can be operated using either the controls on the equipment or the included infrared remote control.

Features & Benefits

Total Ultraviolet (UV) Disinfection

The GermAwayUV uses a 21-inch high-purity quartz UV bulb delivering 55 watts of power for UV treatment of exposed air and surfaces.

The lamp produces UV-C radiation with a peak output wavelength of 253.7 nm.

Infrared Remote Control

Operate the GermAwayUV remotely from up to 45 feet away, allowing the treatment cycle to be initiated without remaining in the UV treatment area.

User-Friendly Operation

Three selectable treatment modes are available:

• 15 minutes
• 30 minutes
• 60 minutes (1 hour)

The selected treatment cycle automatically ends when the programmed time has elapsed.

Delayed Startup

A 30-second delayed startup provides time to leave the room before the UV sterilization process begins.

Portable Tabletop Design

The compact tabletop configuration allows the unit to be moved between indoor spaces as needed.

Amber UV Safety Glasses Included

Amber UV Safety Glasses are included with each unit.

The instruction manual separately identifies UV Safety Glasses as Item #302055 and lists them as not included, so the inclusion of safety glasses should be confirmed against the current product configuration before publication.

UV-C Disinfection Performance

The GermAwayUV is marketed as a chemical-free UV disinfection system designed to address microorganisms and contaminants in indoor environments.

The supplied product information states that the high-powered UVC system is proven to kill up to 99.9% of airborne bacteria, viruses, mold spores, yeasts, C. diff, odors, and other harmful microorganisms.

Actual UV effectiveness depends on factors including UV dose, exposure time, distance from the lamp, positioning, and the characteristics of the target microorganism or material. The product's UV disinfection area should therefore be determined using the applicable Dosage Calculator.

Technical Specifications

The instruction manual specifies a UV-C wavelength of 253.7 nm, UV intensity of 168 µW/cm², 120V/60Hz power supply, 55-watt output, 22" × 8" × 8" dimensions, 5 lb. weight, and a 45-foot remote-control range.

Lamp Lifespan

The supplied product information states a lamp lifespan of up to 10,000 hours or 1 year, based on heavy usage.

The instruction manual states a bulb lifespan of up to 12,000 hours.
