Principles of operation The SterOx System V-Series is an ozone-based sterilizer. 172 nm UV lamps contained in the Lamp Unit inside the SteriBase V-Series ( 1 ) transform oxygen (O ) from ambient air into ozone (O ) ( 2 ). Ozone further reacts with water (H O) to form hydroxyl and hydroperoxyl radicals ( 3 ) which are responsible for the inactivation of micro-organisms causing infections and disease transmissions ( 4 ).
Setting up your SteriBase V-Series 6.1 Installing your device There are several factors that may affect the performance of your SteriBase V-Series. Please review these factors and select a suitable location in which to install the device. After each relocation of the sterilizer, installation must be carried out according to the protocol. Safety of any system incorporating the device is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
