Portable UV Lamp Protects Your Health—Anywhere!

The DeGERM-inator™ UV-5D portable ultraviolet sanitizer uses short-wave UV (germicidal) light to destroy or render harmless a wide range of disease-causing bacteria and viruses — in just seconds!  The DeGERM-inator™ has been tested and proven to safely sanitize cell phones, telephone receivers, toilet seats and flush handles, computer mouse devices and keyboards, plastic toys, door knobs, ATM touch screens and many other commonly contaminated surfaces.

The DeGERM-inator™ is easy to use. Simply shine the UV light over any smooth, nonporous surface to be disinfected at a distance of one-half inch (1.3 cm) or less for six to eight seconds. The short-wave UV rays will kill virtually all germs, including influenza, salmonella, E.coli, streptococcus, staphylococcus, hepatitis and much more. 

The DeGERM-inator™ provides four to six hours of use on four AA alkaline batteries (not included) or unlimited use when powered by the AC adapter (included).  It features a patented, childproof safety switch.  The DeGERM-inator measures just 9 x 2¼ x 1¼ ” (22.9 x 5.7 x 3.2 cm) and weighs only 10¼ oz (229 g) with batteries.  It can be conveniently carried in its nylon travel pouch.
