Community First in California to Install State-of-the-Art Sanitizing Technology

Integral Senior Living's (ISL) Canyon Trails Assisted Living and Memory Care in Canoga Park, Calif., is the first senior living community in the state to set up state-of-the-art sanitization technology, reports lighting solutions provider Healthe Inc . The community has installed a Healthe ENTRY gate, which uses far-ultraviolet C (UVC) 222-nanometer light to sterilize clothing and personal belongings. The solution is a free-standing, walk-through arch sanitizer that employs UVC light to remove up to 90 percent of the viral load on items in 20 seconds. "Healthe's innovative products utilize scientifically proven methods to inactivate pathogens, and provide additional layers of sanitization beyond the significant protective measures we already have in place," said ISL CEO Collette Gray. "Our hope with installing this leading-edge protective technology is not only to provide a cleaner and safer environment, but also to give our residents, associates, and eventually guests comfort and peace of mind." Far-UVC technology's safety and effectiveness against airborne pathogens, including coronaviruses, was demonstrated in a study in Scientific Reports . "As COVID-19 continues to negatively impact Americans, especially in hard-hit places like California, it is important that all sectors have access to the latest cutting-edge sanitization solutions," said Healthe Chief Commercial Officer Troy Temple. "At Healthe, we are helping to meet this great healthcare challenge, with a thoughtful, layered protection approach."
