BooCax's UV disinfection robot UV200, which irradiates up to 150 μW/cm2x10, for hospital disinfection, fully safeguarding the health of patients and The health and safety of patients and healthcare workers are fully protected.
                            <p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">      In fact, robots equipped with ultraviolet lights have earlier joined the battle against the new coronavirus in hospitals. The robots, from Chinese company <a href="https://www.boocax.com/" target="_self">BooCax Robotics</a>, are described by the manufacturer as "capable of eliminating coronavirus in just six minutes, achieving a 99% eradication rate.</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><img src="/en/upload/images/2022/3/5428a2b7801a2a09.jpg" style="border: 0px; max-width: 100%; width: 616px; height: 306px;" width="616" height="306"/></span></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">    When left unattended, the autonomous mobile machines patrol wards and use powerful UV-C lights to disinfect rooms, medical equipment and furniture, killing bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms.</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">   Our hospital has become one of the first to deploy the robot. China National Pharmaceutical Group Corporation, a hospital equipment supplier, delivered the robots to medical customers in various provinces in China.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">   Currently, <a href="https://www.boocax.com/" target="_self">BooCax Robotics</a> is sold in more than 40 countries. In addition to the European and U.S. healthcare markets, it has delivered <a href="https://www.boocax.com/en/products/uv_robots.html" target="_self">UV disinfection robots</a> to hospitals in other parts of Asia For example, hospitals in Malaysia use BooCax's <a href="https://www.boocax.com/en/uv_robot/uv200.html" target="_self">UV disinfection robot UV200</a>, which irradiates up to 150 μW/cm2x10, for hospital disinfection, fully safeguarding the health of patients and The health and safety of patients and healthcare workers are fully protected.</span></p><p><a href="https://www.boocax.com/en/uv_robot/uv200.html" target="_self" title="UV disinfection robot"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><img src="/en/upload/images/2022/3/b693c2ddc129f431.jpg" style="border: 0; max-width: 100%"/></span></a></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">   The invention uses UV light to improve the safety of staff, patients and their families by reducing the risk of exposure to bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms, said Chuanquan Xie, CEO of BooCax Robotics. </span><a href="https://www.boocax.com/en/products/uv_robots.html" target="_self" style="font-family: "times new roman";">BooCax Disinfection Robot</a><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"> also won the 2021 Beijing Product Quality Innovation Product Quality Award.</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">    However, Philips, a veteran UV lamp manufacturer, cautions, "UV-C is a useful tool, but it must be handled with care, as the risk to the user will be high if it is not handled or used properly."</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";"><img src="/en/upload/images/2022/3/e22e5ad2dbd588e8.png" title="image.png" alt="image.png"/></span></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">    Despite the relative advantages of <a href="https://www.boocax.com/en/uv_robot/uv200.html" target="_self">UV disinfection robots</a>, these robots are unlikely to provide full protection against Covid-19. UV-C lamps are still light and cannot disinfect areas that are difficult to receive if the light waves are blocked by objects. In addition, there is no final word on whether UV devices can kill novel coronaviruses. However, it can not be doubted, because scientists on SARS and Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS) research shows that ultraviolet light can make these kill these viruses.</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">    The core technologies involved in disinfection robots include: autonomous navigation technology, autonomous obstacle avoidance technology, voice recognition technology, Internet of Things technology, UV/UV-C disinfection technology, light ion catalytic purification technology, and hydrogen peroxide vapor technology. Among them, UV/UV-C disinfection technology is highly efficient and free of secondary pollution compared with traditional spraying disinfection.</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">     In an epidemic, the use of robots to replace human labor can reduce the risk of infection by avoiding human contact on the one hand; on the other hand, it can also reduce the work intensity of front-line staff in epidemic prevention. Robots may become the vanguard of future public health emergencies.</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">     Robotics and telemedicine are good tools to complement basic infection prevention measures," said Popescu, an epidemiologist and infection prevention expert in Phoenix, USA. Telemedicine can help reduce stress if there is a shortage of physicians, or in some cases, help reduce the use of personal protective equipment. Technology can add a layer of assurance to infection prevention - ultraviolet disinfection is one of them."</span><br/></p><p><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">     For more information on  UV disinfection robots, visit </span><a href="https://www.boocax.com/en/index.html" target="_self" title="BooCax Robotics"><span style="font-family: "times new roman";">www.boocax.com</span></a><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p>
