INTRODUCTION

The Mini Sterilizer + lets you disinfect your baby’s pacifiers quickly and easily. With its small size and convenient power options, you can protect your child’s health both at home and while you travel.

This device uses scientifically proven ultraviolet (UVC) technology that kills 99.99% of harmful bacteria and viruses (99.7% of H1N1, *99.97% of Coronavirus). UVC has been used successfully in the healthcare industry for air and surface disinfection. It’s ozone-free and leaves no dangerous residue or harmful chemicals.

The Mini Sterilizer + is also safe to use. If the lid is opened during use, the built-in Safety Protection switch will turn off the UVC light automatically.
