The UV technology will work and sanitize. Then after that 30 seconds unzip RIT flip your phone over. Close it up and hit the button again for another 30 seconds.

UV sanitizers help disinfect surfaces by inactivating infectious bacteria, fungi, and viruses. Portable devices - such as those that clean phones, shoes, and toothbrushes - may be less effective than hospital-grade UV sanitizers.

The FDA is aware that some manufacturers are marketing unsafe UV wands to consumers to disinfect surfaces and kill germs in the home or similar spaces outside most health care settings. The FDA recommends that consumers do not use these products and consider using safer alternative methods.

Disadvantages

• UV light can only eliminate the micro-organisms present in the water.
• If the water is cloudy, a pre-filter should be used.
• UV water systems require electricity to operate.
• UV disinfection does not offer the persistence of some other chemicals.

It has a major limit! UV only works in its light path and can be blocked by objects. Make sure what you want sterilized is directly in line with the UV light. You can minimize this issue by using multiple UV bulbs to generate UV irradiation from different angles.

Ultraviolet (UV) rays found in UV Sterilizers accelerate the deterioration of Silicone Nipple, resulting in the degrading of silicone material and lead to hardening of silicone material which may cause crack and tear on products. Plastic parts such as bottles and bottle caps may also deteriorate due to UV rays.

Risks

• Sunburn is a sign of short-term overexposure, while premature aging and skin cancer are side effects of prolonged UV exposure.
• UV exposure increases the risk of potentially blinding eye diseases if eye protection is not used.
• Overexposure to UV radiation can lead to serious health issues, including cancer.

One disadvantage of UV treatment is that the disinfection only works within the UV aggregate and – as such – doesn't protect against subsequent contamination in the distribution network. In chemical disinfection, the cell membranes of microorganisms are oxidized and destroyed, which kills the organisms.

UV exposure increases the risk of potentially blinding eye diseases if eye protection is not used. Overexposure to UV radiation can lead to serious health issues, including cancer.

UV rays, either from the sun or from artificial sources like tanning beds, can cause sunburn. Exposure to UV rays can cause premature aging of the skin and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles, leathery skin, liver spots, actinic keratosis, and solar elastosis.

Yes. UV light is normally effective against all viruses, bacteria and protozoa. However, some microorganisms such as Cryptosporidium and Giardia have protective or thick cell walls that some low power UV light systems are not able to penetrate.

UV disinfection inactives microorganisms so they are unable to multiply. One disadvantage of UV treatment is that the disinfection only works within the UV aggregate and – as such – doesn't protect against subsequent contamination in the distribution network.
