CAUTION
Modifications not expressly approved by EIT International may void the users
authority to operate the equipment. The removal of any panels or components,
or to open the sealed Bactiscan casing will render the equipment damaged and
will void any Warranty in place (see Page 7 – Warranty) . Damaged Bactiscan
unit through the malice of any third party will render the equipment written-
off and the user will be liable for all costs associated for repair or
replacement of the unit.
UV Light Bulbs
Bactiscan™ and BactiscanPRO™ utilise UV-A and UV-B light bulbs which are
fluorescent tubes with a dark blue or purple filter to remove other parts of
the spectrum and leave just UV light.
UV (ultraviolet) light bulbs are often referred to as black light bulbs, or
BLB (blacklight blue) bulbs. UV lights feature small wavelengths that are
measured in nanometres (nm). Nanometres often affect the UV light bulb, with
the bulb emitting either UVA, UVB or UVC UV radiation. None of these bulbs can
penetrate human skin and are safe to use.
EIT consider the health and safety of our customers to be of the utmost
importance and as a matter of good practice we suggest that users wear
protective eyewear when operating Bactiscan™ and Bactiscan PRO™ equipment.
