The Light That Protects

The only LED light device that kills viruses and bacteria and prevents allergies.

All of us human beings live alongside bacteria every day, without bacteria, humans wouldn't survive! But while this is the case, the uncontrolled proliferation of bacteria causes imbalances throughout the ecosystem. Mutations of bacteria develop, and this is where the dangerous nature of bacteria becomes relevant.

We work every day to fight bacteria in the home, the workplace, in healthcare, education and more. We have evolved as humans to spraying and wiping every hour (or more or less depending on the situation). It becomes tedious, takes up a huge amount of time and can be very hard on the budget with the cleaning materials available to us today.

This is where Continuous Sanitation can be of real help. One such solution is Biovitae. Biovitae is a Light Emitting Diode sanitation system operating in the Visible Light spectrum. There is No Ultra Violet, and is thus safe to be illuminated in the presence of humans. Utilising the existing lighting infrastructure, Biovitae is a safe and CONTINUOUS sanitation system, it is environmentally friendly and utilises no chemicals.

Biovitae is a new and revolutionary sanitising system, implemented through the existing lighting infrastructure. Biovitae is safe to be illuminated in the presence of people and animals. Biovitae manages the microbial load in a safe manner, leading the fight against bacterial and viral infections along with antimicrobial resistance.

Biovitae works by controlling the proliferation of dangerous pathogens continuously, even in the presence of living beings, by helping to maintain human and animal friendly bacteria.

It has a continuous action on viruses, keeping the viral load low in environments and on surfaces, helping to prevent and reduce the risk of contagion.

It is sustainable, safe and cost effective, and also, saves you a lot of time cleaning!

It would be great if we could carry on our normal activities, be it at home, work and leisure, safe in the knowledge that our environment is being continuously sanitised in a safe manner. Today there is an effective preventive way to fight infections, and it is possible with one simple action - switching on the light.

MOULD

Biovitae lighting technology is a cost effective and environmentally friendly way of eliminating mould and 99.8% of household bacteria. Coupled with the ease of installation and the long lifespan of the bulbs, these are the perfect safeguard for home and work.

GYMS

In gyms, wellness centres and spas, infections, particularly of the skin, are increasingly reported. The causes are due to the presence of many people sharing tools, mats, benches, lockers and other surfaces, where the bacteria that can cause infections and fungi are hidden. The installation of Biovitae lighting systems, contributes to the creation of a healthy and safe environment by preventing the transmission of infections during and after any sporting activity.

SCHOOL AND NURSERY

Biovitae ensures a safe environment for all educational settings, from nurseries to universities and everything in between.

With Biovitae we create continuous and passive sanitisation of air and surfaces without any structural intervention and without any harm to people.

The keywords of continuous sanitisation with Biovitae are:

PROTECTION - CONTROL – SAFETY - SUSTAINABILITY.

Constant and continuous control of bacterial viral loads to within safe levels, even when environments are heavily populated by staff and students. This is continuous, because staff and students, are, at the same time, both the carrier and the recipients of microorganisms.

Biovitae is not harmful in any way to people, because it does not penetrate the skin, does not release harmful substances, does not create any damage to the visual apparatus, and it sanitises environments without making them sterile. It also safely prevents the development of infectious disease outbreaks, without debilitating the normal functions of the immune system.

TRANSPORT VEHICLES

Bacterial contamination in vehicles is a real threat for thousands of people using public transport, people who use them on a daily basis are regularly exposed to all kinds of bacterial colonies. Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus faecalis, Enterobacteria, as well as mites and moulds, can be found on seats, tables, handles and other surfaces.

Inside transport vehicles, Biovitae illuminates the whole vehicle, including the courtesy light, sanitising the air inside the vehicle and the surfaces. This keeps the bacterial count low, ensuring a safe and clean environment for all incoming and outgoing passengers.

HEALTHCARE FACILITIES

In healthcare facilities, Biovitae reduces the bacterial count, preventing the formation of biofilm and creating a safe environment by reducing the risk of infections linked to health care practices. Healthcare Associated Infections (HAI) are the most frequent and serious complications in healthcare assistance. Bacteria becomes very dangerous - especially due to poor physical condition of the patients. 

Every year in Italy between 4,500 and 7,000 people are victims of HAI (source: Higher Institute of Health) and the number is likely to increase due to the growth of antibiotic resistance . Bacteria can be found in patients rooms, waiting rooms, operating rooms, on diagnostic instruments, door handles and toilet facilities. Biovitae also contributes to the adoption of safe healthcare practices, and prevents and controls the transmission of infectious diseases both in hospitals and in healthcare facilities.

CINEMAS AND THEATERS

Cinemas and theatres are environments with a high risk of bacterial contamination, this is due to the large number of people who stay in close contact for a long time. Biovitae makes all the ordinary cleaning even more effective by sanitising the surfaces and other environments such as seats, tables, dressing rooms and the buttons of vending machines. Contributing to keeping the bacterial proliferation low and ensuring a real and effective sanitisation of the rooms.

HOME

At home, the critical points where bacteria can be found are all the surfaces that are touched by people’s hands, pets, food, cleaning cloths and cleaning products. These surfaces are “fast motorways” for the spread of pathogens to which family members are exposed. 

In the home, Biovitae is particularly useful in the kitchen, in the bathroom and in the most visited rooms as it limits the spread of bacteria such as Staphylococcus and Streptococcus. It protects children, the elderly and those already suffering from chronic diseases. Likewise, Biovitae helps to protect our pets, and it prevents the spread of their allergies and infections to humans.

OFFICE

In the office, bacteria are commonly found on desks, door handles, computer keyboards, food utensils and vending machines. In these environments, micro-organisms can be transmitted among people or indirect contact with surfaces where bacterial colonies proliferate. Biovitae effectively sanitises all the environments and the surfaces with which people come to contact every day, ensuring a safe and clean work environment.

INTENSIVE FARMING AND FOOD PROCESSING FACTORIES

In livestock farming, due to possible poor hygiene conditions, there are places where bacteria proliferate and cause diseases among animals that can be transmitted to humans (zoonosis). 

These diseases include a wide heterogeneous group of infections (more than 200 according to the WHO) that can be bacterial, viral, parasitic or caused by non-conventional agents. 

In livestock farms Biovitae sanitises effectively, and it prevents the development in these environments of infections among animals. In this way, it contributes to reduce the use of antibiotics among animals and in animal products and it ensures a more rational use of chemical disinfectants.

PUBLIC LIGHTING

Outdoors, the main pollution sources are fossil fuel heating systems, vehicles, industrial areas, agriculture and livestock. Traffic remains the main source of PM10 emissions, nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds, which are responsible for urban pollution. In recent years, research in the field of materials science has developed a material based on titanium dioxide (TiO2) particles with high photocatalytic characteristics. 

TiO2 is present in nature in three forms: rutile, anatase and brookite. Rutile is the most common form. The light frequency of Biovitae is the only one able to trigger the photo-activation of the TiO2 without emitting UV rays. Therefore, it is without any risk for living beings. Biovitae Street lighting systems transform the micro-organisms responsible for high levels of pollution, making them harmless. In this way we can have clean air back in our cities.
