Vyv Announces Groundbreaking Inactivation and Killing of Viruses with its UV-Free Antimicrobial Light Technology
A recent study has confirmed, through an independent third-party lab, Vyv’s antimicrobial LED products are effective against non-enveloped viruses, which are the most difficult class of viruses to kill.
Vyv Antimicrobial LED Technology (405nm) — a Visible Light that Kills* Bacteria, Mold, Fungi and Yeast on Surfaces — Now Shown to also Inactivate and Kill* Viruses
Partnerships and/or Investors Include Broan-NuTone, Citi, Delta Air Lines, Dorel Juvenile, Eastern Tabletop, Middleby Corporation, NJ Transit, Brilli, and the Healthcare Association of New York State (HANYS) Among Many Others
*Testing on a non-enveloped virus (MS2 bacteriophage) showed a 99.985% reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 6 hours on hard surfaces. MRSA and E. coli showed 90%+ reduction in controlled laboratory testing in 24 hours on hard surfaces. Results may vary depending on the amount of light that is reaching the surfaces in the space where the product is installed and the length of time of exposure. Use of Vyv antimicrobial light is not intended to replace manual cleaning.
LATHAM, NY — May 12, 2021 — Vyv, a female founded and led health-tech industry leader and pioneer of antimicrobial LED technology, announces the recent independent test results confirming efficacy of its antimicrobial light technology (405nm) for killing* viruses. Numerous studies have proven the effectiveness of Vyv’s visible light against bacteria, mold, fungi, and yeast. This recent study has confirmed, through an independent third-party lab, Vyv’s antimicrobial LED products are also effective against non-enveloped viruses, which are the most difficult class of virus to kill*.
“The implications of this are vast because unlike harmful UV-C light, Vyv’s patented technology can be used continuously and without restriction 24/7 around people, animals and plants. The recent findings of enhanced efficacy against viruses greatly expands the antimicrobial impact delivered to spaces currently protected with Vyv technology, as well as in new spaces,” said Vyv CEO and co-founder Colleen Costello. “With our overhead LED products, Vyv is already lighting offices, schools and school buses, athletic centers, factories and hospitals. We’re also embedding the same technology in many challenging spaces, including behind elevator buttons, inside consumer products such as humidifiers and bathroom fans, and in airplanes, trains and public buses.”
