ULTRA-5™ FEATURES

• The healthy choice in disinfection…with simple one-touch operation.

Getting to Know Your Ultra-5™
The Ultra-5™ uses a specialized, high-powered germicidal UVC light bulb. The polished aluminium drawer interior reflects the UVC light throughout the disinfection chamber to improve sanitization.

Did you Know?
The Ultra-5™ Disinfector is very versatile! You can sanitize and disinfect a variety of household items safely with the power of light including cell phones, keys, hair care items and small toys!

How to Use Your Ultra-5™

1. Connect the included DC power cord to the DC power input socket on the back of the Ultra-5™.
2. Plug the Ultra-5™ power cord into a working 120V wall outlet.
3. Place your Ultra-5™ on a level counter or tabletopOpen the disinfection compartment and if necessary, place the rack in the chamber.
4. Place the item(s) to be disinfected on the rack.
5. Close the chamber drawer.
6. Press the power button, then press the timer button to select 5 minutes (press once) or 10 minutes (press twice). To begin the disinfection cycle, press the UV button.
7. There will be a soft glow of UV Light visible through the tinted disinfection chamber window during the disinfection cycle.
8. Upon completion of the disinfection cycle, the Ultra-5™ will beep 3 times and the UV light will no longer be visible through the disinfection chamber window.
9. You may now remove your disinfected equipment. No waiting period is necessary before use.

NOTE
The cycle may be stopped or paused by pressing the UV button. The cycle time may be restarted by pressing the timer button during a disinfection cycle.

Using Your Disinfection Rack
When disinfecting with your Ultra-5™ use of the rack is suggested to improve disinfection. The rack lifts the object(s) being disinfected and permits the UVC light to reach the maximum surface area. Set accessories on the rack to permit greater penetration of the underside of the article being disinfected. If your item is large, the rack may be removed, but the UVC light may not reach all surface areas. In this case, repositioning the object to expose the untreated area to the UVC light and conducting another disinfection cycle may be done.

Caring for your Ultra-5™ – Changing the UVC Germicidal Bulb Your Ultra-5™ has been designed to provide years of dependable service and the UVC germicidal bulb has a life expectancy that should exceed the life of your device, so changing the bulb should not be necessary. However, should a bulb break, ALWAYS disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet BEFORE proceeding to the steps below:

WARNING
ALWAYS wear protective gloves in the event of broken glass to avoid injury. If the Ultra-5™ has been recently operated, DO NOT begin the bulb replacement until the Ultra-5™ has cooled to the touch.

1. Pull the adapter out of the socket.
2. Flip the disinfection box.
3. Keep the Fluorescent tube horizontally and remove it upwards.
4. Rotate the Fluorescent tube 90°.
5. To install a Fluorescent tube lamp, keep the lamp horizontal and insert it downwards into the socket.
6. Pull the door out of the disinfection box.
7. Rotate the Fluorescent tube lamp 90° to fix the lamp in place.
8. Push the door into the disinfection box and fix the door in place.
9. Flip the disinfection box.
10. Plug the adapter into the socket.

Cleaning Your Ultra-5™
The disinfection drawer is lined with polished aluminium. Please adhere to the following guidelines when cleaning the device.

WARNING
ALWAYS disconnect the power cord from the power outlet BEFORE cleaning. If the Ultra-5™ has been recently operated, DO NOT begin cleaning until the Ultra-5™ has cooled to the touch. DO NOT use your Ultra-5™ until any cleaning solution has fully dried and the disinfection drawer has been installed.

INTERIOR

• DO NOT use baking soda or other alkali-based cleaners on aluminium as this may cause permanent discolouration.
• The interior can scratch easily, NEVER use abrasive cleaners and/or scrubbers when cleaning your device.
• For the aluminium areas, if using a gentle metal or glass cleaner, ALWAYS test the cleaner on a small portion of the aluminium to ensure suitability.
• ALWAYS polish the aluminium with a soft lint-free cloth.

EXTERIOR

• Should the casing of your Ultra-5™ become soiled you may wipe it down with a soft, non-abrasive moist cloth.
• DO NOT immerse your Ultra-5™ in water.
• DO NOT use any cleaning solvents.

Ultra-5™ Maintenance
Your Ultra-5™ Disinfector has been developed to require little maintenance during normal use. The bulb should last the lifetime of the device and periodic cleaning will keep your Ultra-5™ ready to use anytime. Every 6 months, check the Ultra-5™ reusable foam air filter to ensure it is clean and free of dust and debris. Open the plastic door located on the bottom of the device to access the filter. If necessary, wash the filter in a solution of mild soap and warm water. Rinse well and use an absorbent towel to gently squeeze out excess water. Allow the filter to fully air dry before reinstalling in the Ultra-5™.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

How do I use the Sanitizer?
The Ultra-5™ is a single-button device and as easy as 1,2,3!

1. Wipe the item to remove any physical residue.
2. Open the chamber and place the item in the drawer face up, then close the drawer.
3. Press the button and in 5 minutes the cycle is complete and your item is ready to use.

How does the Ultra-5™ work?

The Ultra-5™ works by emitting high energy light within a narrow light spectrum referred to as UV-C. The Ultra-5™ uses a low-pressure, mercury-arc germicidal lamp (bulb) to produce high amounts of UV energy. Approximately 90% of the light energy generated is around the 254nm wavelength. This wavelength of light is near the peak of the germicidal effectiveness zone of 265nm (the most lethal to microorganisms).

Why doesn’t the Ultra-5™ use Ozone, like some other devices?

Simple – safety. There are safety concerns about the use of ozone in the home with the EPA stating the following: “When inhaled, ozone can damage the lungs. Relatively low amounts can cause chest pain, coughing, shortness of breath and throat irritation. Ozone may also worsen chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and compromise the ability of the body…”

What are the other benefits of the Ultra-5™?

Speed – ozone-based devices take up to 2 hours to work. In addition to the safety of the ozone for users, many may not want to wait 2 hours to use their equipment. With a 5-minute cycle time, the Ultra-5™ has your equipment disinfected quickly

Are there any supplies that need to be reordered?

No. The Ultra-5™ is easy to use and easy to own since it requires no replacement supplies at all! The device relies on a special germicidal UV-C bulb that is rated to outlast the life of the device and should never require changing. In the rare event that the bulb is damaged or does require replacement, a single low-cost replacement bulb is readily available from your local distributor or Compass Health Brands.

Do I need to disinfect some items twice?

Yes, since UV-C disinfection uses light waves, the disinfection function operates in a “line-of-sight” manner and only irradiates surfaces within the light rays. If an object is large or opaque, a second disinfection cycle may be necessary. For example, items should be periodically disinfected when fully disassembled or an item may need to be turned over after the first cycle. In these cases, you may set the unit to 10 minutes by pressing the cycle button twice. For larger or opaque items, it may be necessary to disinfect the item twice on each side. Upon completion of the first 5-minute cycle, openthe chamber, turn the item being disinfected over and re-insert the chamber for a second 5-minute disinfection cycle. For general daily use and most items, only one cycle is necessary.
