Testimonials

We reached out to one of our resellers, Martin Leibowitz from Storm FX Distributions, to ask him about his, and his clients’, experience with our products. Storm FX provides VR and other technology solutions to streamline their clients’ business and help increase productivity.

“An effective cleaning and disinfection solution is important”, states Martin, “and not just during a seemingly all-consuming Covid situation. Sanitising anything that is shared between users should be of concern to all companies because in most workplaces equipment is shared amongst multiple people. And it could be as simple as someone having conjunctivitis without knowing, and unwittingly sharing it to others. All shared spaces are breeding grounds for bacteria and it is an OH&S responsibility of every company to protect their people.”

Martin says that they have found that the most effective way to disinfect devices is through the use of a UV light cabinet and that the choice of UV solution depends on the location, usage, amount of headsets or shared devices, and budget. “Though UV light is not the cheapest method to enable disinfection, the use of alcohol wipes or face masks is not as effective as people would like to think. Alcohol wipes leave devices damp and that means systems are out of production until they dry. In addition, can you be sure that the person wiping down the systems has done all the straps, cables and the outside of the device? The problem with masks is that if not placed properly they slip, and in haste people forget to change them after each use. Even if they are used correctly, they do not help with the exterior, straps and cables that people touch and infect.”

Martin thinks that the consequence of not having an effective disinfection solution means that companies are putting their people at risk of anything, from a mild to very serious bacterial or virus infection, “While it’s unlikely it would ever lead to lawsuits, it does without doubt cost a company in lost productivity. And this could result in a business falling behind the competition in innovation.”

Martin says that the feedback from their clients on the UVC products has been completely positive to date, whereas some competitor products have received negativity around the lack of 360 cleaning capability, and that the solution seems to start to fall apart after regular use.

“The UVCleantech cabinets do a full 360 degree clean in the same amount of time it would take to wipe down a single device, or change a face mask. The UVC cabinets are strong, sturdy and durable. They are over-engineered in a good way. They will last even in heavy usage. The UV lights are easy to swap out, but to date we have had not a single failure or need to replace any components. It is also great having them on casters so they are easy to move around facilities too.”

Martin goes on to state that, “the UviPortable device is a well thought out and well-designed solution. Like the larger Uvisan cabinets, it is over engineered in a good way. There is a big market for single devices. Making a portable cabinet with the additional optional battery, is pure genius. The carry handle is also proof that this was very well thought through.”

He also states that UVCleantech have been very helpful with client satisfaction and are always happy to send out evaluation equipment if the opportunity warrants it, “Case in point was an Educational Institution client of ours where UVC sent out a small cabinet and a portable device. These where both kept by the client. I feel we will see many units going into this institution over the next 12 months.”
