KILLS GERMS, FAST!

We wanted something that could kill germs, fast!

The BlitzBox Pro 8 has an un-rivalled eight high power germicidal UV-C LEDs. This means it is able to kill up to 99.99% of bacteria and viruses in only three minutes; this is a fraction of time compared to most other UV sterilisers currently available.

Germs found on mobile phones, which most of us touch thousands of times a day, include E.coli (causes food poisoning) and Staphylococcus aureus (the bacteria that causes the MRSA superbug), both of which have been proven to be killed by the BlitzBox Pro 8.

WHAT IS UV-C LIGHT?

There are three types of ultraviolet light: UV-A (320 to 400nm), UV-B (280 to320nm), and UV-C (200 to 280nm). The short wavelength and high energy of UV-C light kills germs by breaking down the molecular bonds that hold together DNA and RNA, making it impossible for germs to reproduce and thereby inactivating them.

UV-C LEDs have several key advantages over traditional UV bulbs - they contain no toxic mercury, they produce no hazardous ozone and last more than twice as long.

WHY DO I NEED ONE?

In 2020, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a study which concluded that mobile phones are breeding grounds for germs and that they are "Trojan horses contributing to the transmission of microbial infections and constitute a public health risk."

They recommend that "phones should be disinfected daily and regular decontamination must be based around interventions that a are proven efficient and gentle enough to not erode the phone screen's protective surface."

10W WIRELESS CHARGER

The BlitzBox Pro 8 has a powerful 10W wireless charger incorporated in the lid that is compatible with Qi enabled devices. As we expect the BlitzBox will often live on desks, bedside tables and in kitchens, keeping your phone topped up is as easy as placing it in the centre of the lid when you are not using it.

DAILY ACCESSORIES

Not only can the BlitzBox Pro 8 fit the largest smartphones such as the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the Samsung S20 Ultra, its 54mm depth means there is space for lots of your daily accessories.

Germ-carrying items that are often touched and seldom cleaned include smartphones, glasses, shades, keys, Airpods, jewellery, wallets, bank cards, cash, watches, pens, and remote controls. All of these items can benefit from a regular clean in the BlitzBox.

SGS CERTIFIED

As the items you put in a UV sterilizer look no different after exposure to the light, it is understandable that many people wonder whether it “actually works.” Additionally, beyond a couple of other reputable brands, there are a large number of low quality options that many people are rightly dubious about.

To ensure confidence in the BlitzBox Pro 8, not only is it constructed with high quality materials and components, it has been safety and efficacy tested by Swiss-based SGS, who are recognised as the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company.

The efficacy test results are available upon request - just drop us an email.

360° STERILIZATION

The effectiveness of UV-C light depends on line-of-sight, which means the surface of an object needs to be exposed to the light to be cleaned. In order to ensure maximum exposure, the BlitzBox incorporates several clever design features - the optimum placement and distribution of LEDs, a reflective base, and an elevated platform. These features ensure that all sides get a large dose of UV.

A WORD ABOUT COVID-19

Above and beyond our general awareness of how many germs live on items we touch all day, it was the coronavirus pandemic that opened our eyes to the power of UV-C light. As everyone washed and sanitised their hands more than ever, we noticed that more often than not those clean hands ended up picking up items that are never washed –mobile phones, pens, wallets, etc. Whilst in the spring of 2020 UV-C light had not yet been lab tested against SARS-CoV2, the virus that causes Covid-19,as it had previously been proven that UV-C light can kill similar viruses such as SARS and MERS, it was generally expected that UV-C light would be effective against the coronavirus. However, in June 2020, Boston University and a company called Signify (previously called Philips Lighting) announced that they had conducted research that confirmed that UV-C light was effective against the virus that causes Covid-19. The press release can be found at the link below:

It is important for us to say that we have not been able to test the BlitzBox against Covid-19, as this would require access to a Biosafety Level 4 laboratory; to put it into context, there is only one such lab in the U.K and five in all of Europe.

HOME & OFFICE ESSENTIAL

As our phones and daily accessories are perfect germs carriers, the BlitzBox Pro 8 is a home and office essential.
