Air recirculators and irradiators are a basic set for effective air sanitation for preventive and anti-epidemic purposes. This
medical equipment is used to carry out disinfection measures to eliminate (reduce the population of) pathogenic and non-pathogenic microorganisms - blood-borne infections, fungi, etc.
What are bactericidal recirculators and irradiators?
Both devices - a bactericidal irradiator and an air disinfector - work with ultraviolet light emitted from mercury discharge lamps in glass flasks. When exposed to UV-C radiation, ultraviolet light is absorbed by the DNA molecules of pathogenic organisms. This leads to disruption of their reproductive functions and subsequent death.
Technical differences
To decontaminate pathogens on the way from the source to susceptible people, 2 types of equipment are used:
Bactericidal irradiators
Designed only for disinfection of environmental elements: air, liquids and various objects (chairs, couches, tables, etc.). Use is permissible only in the absence of people and animals due to exposure to direct UV rays. For protection purposes, the combination models (irradiator-bactericidal recirculator) are equipped with special screens that direct the flow of ultraviolet rays upward with an inclination of 5° to 80° to the horizontal.
Bactericidal recirculators
Shielded irradiators disinfect the air by forcing it to be drawn in and passed through a closed chamber with lamps. Afterwards, the already disinfected air is blown back into the room. Thanks to its closed design, the bactericidal air purifier is safe to use in the presence of people. This allows for continuous sterilization of the air environment without interrupting daily activities.
Types of bactericidal recirculators and irradiators
The catalog of the MediGo online store offers a variety of bactericidal irradiators and recirculators. The models differ from each other by 3 main parameters:
- Lamps. There are 2 main types of lamps used - quartz (used exclusively without people in the room) and ozone-free bactericidal lamps (more universal).
- Type of mounting. For installation, there are wall, ceiling and mobile fittings, as well as mobile models on a mobile base with wheels.
- Classification of premises. According to the degree of risk, we offer models suitable for different industries - I, II, III, IV, V categories. Businesses can also buy a universal type air recirculator/irradiator with manual power settings for each zone.
Benefits of using germicidal recirculators and irradiators
There are several main advantages of using medical air disinfectants and irradiators:
Effective destruction of pathogens
Bactericidal irradiators are effective against a wide range of microorganisms, including
- viral infections (poliovirus, rotavirus, coronavirus, including COVID-19, H5N1 and H1N1 influenza viruses, hepatitis A, bacteriophage MS-2)
- pathogenic bacteria (mycobacterium tuberculosis, dysentery pathogens, salmonella, various types of cocci and bacilli);
- fungal organisms that cause mycoses;
- prophages (viruses in the lysogenic phase);
- spore forms of molds;
- unicellular protozoa;
- microscopic algae;
- virus variants.
Other advantages of irradiators/recirculators
- Noiselessness - the proposed air disinfection devices operate with a volume of up to 25 dB, and irradiators almost do not create significant sound noise.
- Safety for people (depending on the type of device).
- Easy to install and operate.
- Durability of lamps and low operating costs.
Where are bactericidal recirculators and irradiators used?
Irradiators and bactericidal recirculators for air disinfection find a place in many areas of professional and everyday life:
- Medical institutions - hospitals, clinics, laboratories.
- Educational institutions - schools, kindergartens, universities.
- Offices, production facilities, shopping centers.
- Private houses and apartments.
- Public transportation, gyms, hotels and restaurants.

FAQ
How does ultraviolet disinfection work in a recirculator?
When exposed to UV-C radiation inside the recirculator, ultraviolet light is absorbed by the DNA molecules of pathogenic organisms. This leads to disruption of their reproductive functions and subsequent death.
Do I need to ventilate the room after the recirculator has been running?
There is no need to ventilate the room during and after the recirculator operation.
How much room area can a bactericidal recirculator cover?
The MediGo catalog includes recirculators that work effectively in rooms up to 120 m².
