NomisPublications .com TWIN FALLS,ID—Pandemic UV, formerly Luminaer Distributing, is now offering a mobile solution for sim- ple and efficient disinfection of vehicles that are continu- ally exposed to viruses and other pollutants. DuoGuard, the new mobile solution Pandemic UV is offering alongside Aerapy Manufacturing, is a dual-pur- pose device meant to disinfect both air and surfaces with- in a vehicle. DuoGuard is specifically used in hearses, a place that often sees a great deal of human contact and germs, in order to create a sanitary and respectful environ- ment for families, employees, and other funeral attendees. The mobile DuoGuard solution is a leader in air sanita- tion, particularly from an efficacy perspective. The tech- nology kills over 99.9 percent of test virus and bacterial pathogens, including SARS-CoV-2, which is the corona- virus that causes COVID-19. The unique combination of dual air and surface cleaning allows for the hearse or other transport vehicle to be cleaned while in use, as well as in be- tween uses. Pandemic UV and Aerapy Manufacturing have many patented products that have laid the foundation for this product with other patented and highly effective solu- tions, boasting the “highest air turn over” on the market. The product also includes a variety of safety features to keep clients and potential riders safe. A sliding panel pro- tects the UV light from shining while the vehicle is occu- pied and a 60-second delay allows for a total exit of the ve- hicle after the surface-cleaning mode has been activated. Pandemic UV is a technology company based in Twin Falls, Idaho that specializes in the elimination of bacteri- al pathogens and viruses from the air. The products range from in-duct HVAC installations to small units installed near the ceiling, as well as the newly added mobile solu- tion. The technology uses Aerapy UV to destroy patho- gens. The use of this technology has widely increased due to the pandemic, as the need to kill pathogens and keep customers safe has also increased in scope and importance. Prior to becoming Pandemic UV, the company was Lu- minaer Distributing. It recently underwent a rebrand in order to more effectively communicate the solutions that are offered to customers.
