A 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 with the repair or replacement of the unit.

UV Light Bulbs
Bactiscan™ and BactiscanPRO™ utilize 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 nanometers (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 considers 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.
