The System Can Be Used To Disinfect An Entire Room (operating Suites, Patient Rooms, And Bathrooms, Including Furniture And Equipment In The Room) Or Can Be Used To Disinfect A Defined Area Within A Room Or Space, Such As Disinfection Of A Single Patient Bed Area In A Multi-bed Hospital Room. Finally, The System Can Be Used To Disinfect Multiple Pieces Of Equipment That Are Temporarily Placed In A Room Or Defined Area. The System Is Operated In Unoccupied Environments: When The Device Is In Use, No Persons Are In The Room Or Area Intended For Disinfection And Only The Inanimate Surfaces In The Room Or Defined Area Are Exposed To Uv-c Energy. Unlike Other Uv-c Disinfection Systems, The Surfacide System Utilizes Multiple Uv-c Emitters To Minimize The Effect Of Shadows Created By Objects Within The Target Area, Decrease The Distance Between The Emitter And Target Surfaces, And Increase The Efficiency Of The Labor Assigned To Operate The System. Shadows And Distance Have Historically Plagued Single-emitter Uv-c Systems Due To Fact That An Operator Would Need To Either Move The Emitter To Multiple Positions Within The Target Area Or Rely On Severely Weakened Reflected Uv Energy Which Is Required To Travel Excessive Distances To Compensate For Shadowed Areas. In Either Case, Use Of The Surfacide Multiple Emitter System Leads To Dramatically Shorter Cycle Times, And Decreased Labor/operating Costs. we Anticipate The Surfacide System Being Used Throughout The Hospital In Areas Where Transmission Of Infection Causing Bacteria Is A Concern. Training And Certification Will Be Provided To All Assigned Users To Ensure Proper Operation And The Safety Of The Operator(s) And Surrounding Patients And Staff. surfacide Specifications/salient Characteristics: 1. A Continuous 254nm Wavelength Uv-c Disinfection System. 2. The Disinfection System Shall Be Able To Combine Multiple Emitters Into One Single System, Operating Together Or As Single Emitters Operating Independently. This Is Beyond Just Having Multiple Emitters In One Room. The Disinfection System Shall Be Able To Maximize The Effectiveness Of Each Emitter To Significantly Reduce Shadows In A Single Operation. 3. The System Shall Be Able To Operate With Anywhere From 1-5 Emitters Paired Together Depending On The Requirement Of The Room Being Serviced 4. The System Shall Deliver At Least 1500mj For Total Delivered Energy During A Single Cycle Without The Need For Repositioning. No Staff Interaction Shall Be Required To Move Or Adjust Emitters Designed For Use With The Multiple Uv-c Emitters For Total Room Coverage In A Single Operation. The System Shall Be Capable Of Eliminating Shadows And Maximizing Proximity To All Surfaces. 5. The System Of Multiple Uv-c Emitters Shall Incorporate A Uv-c Concentrator For Increased Energy Dosage And Intensity. This Process Shall Be Controlled By The System And Not Have Any Staff Interaction. 6. The System Shall Be Able To Pause A Cycle During Normal Operation And Continue The Cycle Without Having To Start Over From The Beginning. 7. The System Shall Utilize Automated Laser Measurement And Validation Of Room Size To Determine And Ensure An Effective Dose Of Energy Has Been Delivered To All Surfaces In The Least Amount Of Time. 8. The System Shall Have The Ability To Validate Energy Output To Ensure Proper Uv-c Intensity During Each Disinfection Cycle Through Reports In The Disinfection System And Be Able To Save Those Files In The Cloud Or In The Control Unit. 9. The Uv-c System Shall Have A Feature To Apply "targeted And Limited" Range Disinfection With Safe Continuous Disinfection Delivered Unilaterally In A Single Direction From Multiple Emitters While Safely Ensuring That No Uv-c Radiation Is Delivered Outside Of The Chosen Disinfection Area. 10. The System Shall Incorporate A Process For Control Of Emitter S From Outside The Room When Starting The System For Employee Safety. This Control Shall Include Starting And Stopping The System And Reporting The Status And Operations Information. The Operator Shall Not Have To Enter The Room For Any Reason While The System Is Operating. All Functions Shall Be Controllable From The Control Device. 11. The System Shall Accomplish Unattended Total Room Disinfection In A Single, Uninterrupted Cycle Without A Need For Repositioning Or Movement Of The Emitters. 12. The System Shall Incorporate Multiple Motion Sensors Within A Single Room With Multiple Entry/exit Points For Added Safety. The System Shall Incorporate Dual Motion Sensors With Passive Infrared Motion Detection And Movement Detection By An Accelerometer/gravimeter In Order To Ensure Staff Safety And Avoiding False Starts Or Stops. 13. The System Shall Use Bluetooth Technology To Connect To The Tablet To Operate The Emitters Wirelessly. 14. The System Wi-fi Connectivity Allowing "cloud" Connectivity For Maintaining And Monitoring Performance, Archive Capability And Remote Accessibility. 15. Shall Include All Applicable Technical Specifications, Studies And White Papers As Evidence Of Meeting These Requirements. place Of Performance: fayetteville Va Medical Center 1100 North College Avenue fayetteville, Ar 72703-1944 period Of Performance: base Period: February 15, 2025 February 14, 2026 authorized Government Representative the Authorized Government Representative Will Be Responsible For Technical Monitoring Of The Contractor's Performance And Deliveries.
