Product catalog summary
Introduction
YANEX introduces a novel approach to UV disinfection using pulsed xenon light bulb technology. This system offers a full spectrum and high-intensity light for effective air and surface decontamination.

How It Works
The system emits pulsed high-intensity light at 2 to 5 flashes per second, which penetrates the cell walls of microorganisms, damaging their DNA and inactivating them. This method causes multiple destructive processes, including lipid photo-oxidation and DNA strand breaks, leading to high efficacy and fast disinfection cycles.

Applications and Efficacy
YANEX is suitable for patient rooms, emergency rooms, and operating rooms, effectively reducing the risk of infections. It is proven to inactivate pathogens like MRSA and C. Difficile, offering a quick solution to reduce healthcare-associated infections (HAIs).

Operational Procedure
The system is easy to operate with a control panel for setting room size and desired bactericidal efficacy. A built-in bactericidal flow indicator ensures the required germicidal dose is achieved, enhancing decontamination reliability.

Features
  • Ultra-fast disinfection cycle: Treats conventional patient rooms in 15 minutes.
  • Proven disinfection effectiveness: Achieves a 3- to 4-log reduction in pathogens.
  • Sturdy and mobile: Designed to resist vibration and easily movable.
  • Safety: Contains non-toxic xenon gas and includes a Safety Interlock to prevent UV exposure.


Performance Data
The system's effectiveness is validated through scientific studies, showing significant reductions in various pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores. The table provided details the time required to achieve a 3- to 4-log reduction in different microorganisms at varying distances.

Conclusion
YANEX offers a reliable and efficient solution for reducing HAIs in healthcare settings, combining innovative technology with ease of use and proven effectiveness.

YANEX-2

A Completely New Approach to UV Disinfection UV irradiation has been used for disinfection purposes since the mid-20th century. YANEX’s pulsed xenon light bulb technology is an innovative breakthrough by virtue of its full spectrum and high intensity of light. Broader and stronger damages to pathogens While traditional UV-C disinfection systems cause primarily dimerization of nucleic acids (thymine dimers), the germicidal UV dose delivered by YANEX causes multiple destructive processes including: lipids photo-oxidation formation of intermolecular cross-links single or even double-strand breaks...

over Healthcare Associated Infections HAIs represent a major threat to patient safety and a significant cost for hospitals. In Canada only, more than 200,000 patients get infections every year while receiving healthcare and more than 8,000 of these patients die as a result1. The healthcare environment itself is a major transmission pathway for bacteria as they can remain active for a long time on many objects in the patient environment (door knobs, chairs, bedrails, telephones, etc.). Some of those bacteria can survive for more than two months in hospital settings. HAIs are spreading because...

Prepare the room for disinfection Bathroom door and shower curtain are open. Bed-rails up, drawers and cabinets are open. Launch the disinfection cycle Set the germicidal efficacy required, the size of the room and launch the cycle. Recommended disinfection of a conventional patient room Disinfection of the room Deploy the unit in the room near high touch surfaces, then launch the cycle. Programming and operating the unit is very simple. The operator uses the control panel to input the parameters – room size and desired bactericidal efficacy. The unit does the rest and is immediately ready to...
