Why Are Elevators A Hotspot For Infections?


  • Tight enclosed space

  • Different passengers using the same elevator (in addition to use by delivery/food service providers)

  • Uncontrollable behavior of passengers

  • Elevators are continuously in use, difficult to stop and sanitise

  • Insufficient air filtration and air changes


The Risk In The Elevator Pathogens In The Air 1/2

Elevators represent a very fertile area for the transmissible infections – In small, crowded and poorly ventilated places the risk of Covid-19 multiplies, even if masks are worn.

In the elevator the residue does not evaporate completely but remains in the air for some time – Even with a mask, infectious droplets can be transmitted for several meters and remain in the air longer than you think.

So it is possible to get in contact with the virus even when observing the spacing rules, for example in an elevator that was used by infected people shortly before – A particle with a diameter of 10 micrometres (the average size of the droplets of saliva emitted), for example, takes nearly 15 minutes to fall to the ground.

The Risk In The Elevator Pathogens In The Air 2/2

When infected people use elevators, they probably do leave some of their germs behind. Even if you're riding the elevator alone, there are other ways you might catch the coronavirus. Elevator buttons and side rails are a potential risk if your hands become contaminated and you touch your face. (NEW YORK TIMES 13.05.2020)

The virus that remains in the elevator during the journey from the tenth to the first floor, after transporting an infected person is 25%. In any case, these are variable percentages depending on the opening time of the doors. (R. Corsi Portland State University research clarifies the dangers of taking the elevator)

Biovitae is the first and only patented UV-free LED light that has been validated to provide the broadest microbicidal action able to kill bacteria and viruses.

A natural white light that is safe for humans/animals and sanitises as it illuminates the environments in which it is installed. Effective on all bacteria, it kills 99.8% of Coronavirus in just a few minutes.


  • Virucidal and bactericidal white led light

  • Continuous sanitisation without sterilisation

  • Counteracts the phenomenon of antibiotic resistance

  • Limits the risks of viral contagion

  • Led light (uv-free) safe for humans and animals

  • Flicker free

  • Eco-friendly


Biovitae Lift

Biovitae is a technology that continuously sanitises all enclosed environments: homes, the workplace, public transport, gyms, small places.

Continuous sanitisation is a smart solution for preventing and containing bacterial or viral infections because it acts when the risk of infection is greater, that is, in the presence of humans that are vectors and transport the virus.

Biovitae Lift as a continuous sanitising technology is a process of sanitisation without interruption, therefore, even in the presence of living beings there is not risk to health. Biovitae sanitises elevators thereby, it prevents outbreaks of infectious diseases.


  • Closeness between people and the difficulty of maintaining a safe distance

  • Limited control inside

  • Contact with shared surfaces and button panels by users
