UV Smart was founded in 2017 by Daan Hoek and Thijs Kea. The idea of disinfecting medical equipment started when one of the founders noticed that people were cleaning their phones with alcohol wipes on an airplane. He envisioned that this could be done faster, safer and more effective. However, there seemed to be a greater need for innovative disinfection methods in the medical world, especially for the disinfection of medical instruments and devices. With the rise of resistant organisms, a higher rotation of patients and the increasing use of these instruments and devices pose an increasing risk to the safety of patients and caregivers. UV Smart is currently working with a team of eleven men and women on the development of the D25 and the D60. Both UV-C disinfection solutions to minimize the spread of sickening microorganism via medical instruments and devices.The vision of UV Smart is: Together with our partners, UV Smart provides healthcare facilities all over the world with validated UV-C disinfection methods to guarantee a safer environment for patients and healthcare professionals. Mission: UV Smart creates and provides validated, fast, safe and easy to use UV-C disinfection solutions to minimize the spread of sickening microorganism via (noncritical and semi critical) medical instruments and devices within healthcare facilities. The D25 is developed for non-critical and semi-critical medical instruments and devices. The D25 was granted CE certification (MDD class IIa) on May 19, 2020. With the D25 you can disinfect for example stethoscopes, communication systems, thermometers, infusion pumps, surveillance monitoring equipment and blood pressure pumps. Clinical validation and development of the D60, for disinfection of endoscopes and ultrasound probes, has been carried out since 2019 to allow a market introduction by the end of 2021.
