Seal Shield, introduced and demonstrated the new ElectroClave™ UV-C Sanitizer and Mobile Device Management (MDM) System at the HiMSS healthcare show, Sands Expo Center booth 368.  The ElectroClave™ is the world's first Enterprise MDM to use low-power UVC LED technology, allowing healthcare practitioners to disinfect hard to clean devices such as tablet computers and smart phones, while charging, syncing, and managing those devices via a custom RFID backbone.

ElectroClave(TM) automates mobile device management by providing smart charging technology, UVC LED disinfection and RFID tracking; providing vital insights for disinfection and IT resource allocation. For the first time, organizations can easily disinfect and manage mobile devices without guesswork, saving time and costs.

Tablet computers and smart phones have been proven to harbor harmful bacteria and viruses.  A study published in the Journal of Applied Microbiology warns that "some twenty to thirty percent of viruses can be readily transferred from a fingertip to a glass surface, like that on a touch screen."  Today, hospitals use autoclaves to sterilize a wide variety of instruments.  Unfortunately, numerous devices such as tablets, smart phones and other electronics can not withstand the high heat of these sterilization systems.

The Seal Shield ElectroClave™, Patent Pending, is the world's first healthcare disinfection system to combine the simplicity of cloud based, RFID Mobile Device Management with a highly efficient UV-C LED sanitization system. The ElectroClave bridges the gap between IT Professionals and Infection Control Practitioners in one affordable, easy to use device. The ElectroClave is the first healthcare sanitizer to use new, high efficacy UV-C LED technology which has the advantages of low power and low heat.  Seal Shield's proprietary Smart Clean™ Technology allows for 360 degree fail safe disinfection, adjusting UV exposure to bulb life and environmental conditions. These features allow electronic devices to be charged and synced while they disinfect.

The Seal Shield ElectroClave™ combines HEPA filtration and positive pressure with high efficacy UVC LED technology to provide the most efficient means of combating cross contamination bacteria, viruses and fungi on hard to clean devices.  Built-in spectroscopic analyzers measure the change on the mobile device surface in order to insure a clean, safe device for every user.  Each ElectroClave™ can charge, sync and disinfect up to twelve devices simultaneously, and multiple ElectroClaves can be daisy-chained together to support an unlimited number of devices.  The ElectroClave™ is device independent, meaning it is compatible with all major brands of tablets and smart phones.  Featuring Wi-Fi for remote monitoring, the ElectroClave™ can be used as a portable sterilizer on a wheeled cart, placed on a table, or wall mounted for easy facility integration.

"We believe the ElectroClave™ is disruptive technology and will greatly improve the ease and efficiency in which personal computing devices are managed in hospitals, from both the IT and Infection Control perspectives," states Seal Shield CEO, Brad Whitchurch.

The Seal Shield ElectroClave™ UV Sanitizer is scheduled for delivery in May starting at US $ 6,999 suggested retail price. Seal Shield's infection control products are sold through major IT and healthcare distributors worldwide.
