The World’s Most Effective Solution for Surface Disinfection

A ZGO UVIO Disinfecting Light powered by a Respond! QikPak battery system using a USB-C connection mounted on a Respond! Console Desk.

Kudos to ZGO Technologies for introducing the UVIO UVC light technology for disinfecting surfaces. Check out this video for a quick explanation.

Why is this interesting for August Berres?

As you can see in the photo, UVIO can be powered by a Respond! QikPac with a USB-C connection.

And since there are no cords on the floor with Respond!, you now have an office that can be cleaned below the desktop and above the desktop. The combined solutions are UNMATCHED by any competing products.

Is Cleanliness Important?

Definitely Yes.

With co-working becoming ever more prevalent and people sharing workspaces, no one wants to occupy a space where yesterday’s sneeze from a co-worker leads to your sneeze tomorrow.

Is there another choice? Many companies are asking their housekeeping staff to “deep clean”. Most often this involves toxic chemicals (not friendly to your sustainability efforts) and extra labor. Typically this is costing about $2 per day per workstation. Add that up for a year and a UV solution becomes very attractive. And it is more effective.

Office cleanliness can also be a tangible assist to recruiting and retention. As turnover has increased in the workplace, finding a job in a company that cares about your health, safety, and well-being could be a critical difference maker.

Consider also how the Wallies Products in Respond! can be utilized to protect your employees from each other during the workday.

What Else Can We Do?

The standard UVIO product is conceived to attach to a monitor. However, we know there are many workstations and other surfaces where there are no monitors. People who only use laptops are a good example. Then there are also conference tables, cafeteria tables, and reception stations where there are multiple opportunities per day to spread germs.

Since Respond! includes a portable solution for power, we will create a portable solution for UVIO so it can be used on any and every surface in an office. We are going to take advantage of our portable power solutions and expand the array of places that can be disinfected.

Is the QikPack a match electrically? UVIO uses 20W of power and requires 2 hours to complete its job, or said another way, 40Wh. Since the Respond! QikPac has 200Wh of capacity, you should be able to realize five disinfection cycles from one battery charge.
