DEVICE FOR DECONTAMINATING U-BENDS

摘要

The invention concerns a device for decontaminating U-bends consisting of a flash lamp (2) arranged at the periphery of the zone to be made secure between the U-bend (6) and the discharge (4) of the washbasin (5) and capable of generating photonic pulses containing 1 to 5 % of UV rays from 200 nm, covering the entire DNA coupling spectrum and with energy density such that the zone upstream of the U-bend remains totally free of micro-organisms, so as to prevent the movement towards the washbasin of micro-organism in the form of a potentially pathogenic biofilm. The invention generally relates to making secure U-bends of washbasins, sinks and other troughs not exclusively designed for medical premises and is based on the use of light in its biocidal wavelengths through an apparatus opposite the zone to be made secure.
