Philips distributes Lumalier's ultraviolet disinfector

Royal Philips Electronics has reached an agreement with Lumalier Corporation to address the growing problem of microbial contamination in hospitals.

Memphis, Tenn.-based Lumalier will showcase Tru-D, a total-room ultraviolet (UV) disinfector, which is now available directly to customers through Philips, at this year’s annual scientific meeting of the Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology (APIC), held June 27-29 in Baltimore. Tru-D is an automated, no-touch, portable UV device that helps control pathogens known to contaminate environmental surfaces.

Tru-D uses Philips twin-tube UV SteriLamps. With a 9,000 hour lamp life, they provide reliability and efficiency in addition to germicidal effectiveness, according to Andover, Mass.-based Philips.
