SaniLumeEngineered Infection Prevention

Thank you

Thanks — someone will be in touch soon.

A member of the Illumisoft team will reach out within one business day. In the meantime, here’s how SaniLume works.

Engineered to reduce airborne transmission and operating costs

Continuous Protection

Treats the air automatically, hour after hour. Protection equivalent to 201–1,994 eACH (up to 166× the CDC recommendation), eliminating 99.7% of bacteria, viruses, and fungi, including antibiotic-resistant strains and airborne viruses.

Lower Costs

Less reliance on heavy ventilation. DOE analysis links upper-room GUV with ~50% lower energy cost.

Proven & Registered

The only Canadian-made, Health Canada-registered upper-room GUV in Canada. Independently tested at the University of Leeds and by Intertek.

Canadian-made

Designed and manufactured in Ottawa

100% Canadian-made and tariff-free. For public-sector procurement, domestic manufacturing is an advantage.

In the spaces people share

Protection built into the room, not bolted onto the routine.

SaniLume runs quietly overhead in lounges, waiting areas, and common rooms, disinfecting the air while people carry on with their day. Improved air quality improves health outcomes, while minimizing staffing disruption and interruptions to daily operations.

How it works

Upper-room GUV disinfection

Sanitized air. Continuous protection.

SaniLume uses powerful Germicidal UV (GUV) light to continuously disinfect air in upper-room spaces, eliminating airborne pathogens including viruses, bacteria, mold, and fungus to reduce transmission risk and create safer environments.

Continuous protectionRuns automatically in occupied rooms.
Pulls contaminated air through the deviceActive fan-driven air exchange to optimize efficacy.
Lower costs and greater sustainabilityLess reliance on high ventilation rates.
Active disinfection

Patented. 8 fans pull 25,000 cu·ft/hr (400 CFM) of air through the device.

Passive disinfection

Room-wide energy field, greatly enhanced by integrated air mixing.

Creates an upper-room treatment zone. UVC energy is directed above occupied space; air is disinfected as it circulates through the upper zone.

6 air changes an hour doesn’t prevent airborne transmission.

SaniLume delivers 201–1,994 eACH, up to 166× the CDC recommendation — engineered to reduce airborne transmission and operating costs.

The data

Healthcare-associated infection is persistent

A significant proportion of reported COVID-19 and influenza hospitalizations are acquired within healthcare settings, highlighting the critical need for cleaner indoor air to interrupt airborne transmission.

Results that hold up

Independent evaluation and endorsement from leading aerobiology and public-health authorities.

The Illumisoft SaniLume Air device is the best performing UV device tested in the aerobiology chamber at the University of Leeds to date, capable of an extraordinary reduction in the concentration of airborne microorganisms under steady-state conditions.

A primary means of safe and highly effective air disinfection.

IES

Upper-room UV is by far the most efficient method of air disinfection for those rooms where it is feasible & safe for room occupants.

Dr. Edward Nardell, Harvard Medical School & Harvard School of Public Health

DOE analysis shows combining upper-room GUV with moderate ventilation can cut energy costs by about 50% versus high ventilation rates alone.
