Evaluation: Skytron IPT 3200 UV Room Disinfection Device

Major device components:

• Mobile wheeled tower
  • Dimensions (L × W × H): 91.4 × 91.4 × 141.6 cm (36 × 36 × 55.75 in); weight: 16 kg (350 lb)
    • The manufacturer recommends a single-site approach (the unit remains in one location throughout the treatment cycle) for most facilities.
    • Multiple towers can be linked to treat large rooms, using one wireless controller for all towers.
