Hungary’s first autonomous UV Disinfection Robot arrived at Semmelweis University
The UVD Robot is used at the Department of Medical Imaging to disinfect the air and the surfaces. The robot inactivates harmful organic microorganisms in the environment, including the novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), by emitting concentrated UV-C light.
The disinfection device arrived from Denmark, and the Hungarian Semmelweis University is the first institute to use an innovative tool like the UVD Robot in the Central European region, Index learned from Dr Pál Maurovich-Horvat, the director of the Department of Medical Imaging.
“The use of this modern technology makes the university worthy to the tradition of Semmelweis, who was a great innovator of his time.”
