Raycop - Anti-Bacterial Vacuum Cleaner

How it works:
1. UV LIGHT
The UV-C Sterilising Lamp will kill 99.9% of bacteria and help eradicate Dust Mites and Germs that may cause asthma, ill health and, in some cases lead to more serious illnesses such as pneumonia.

2. VIBRATING PAD
The Vibrating Pad will assist in the release of millions of Dust Mites which are hooked in the mattress and pillows and enable deep down cleaning.

3. HIGH POWER VAC
Finally the vacuum with it´s 2 stage micro allergy filtration will safely and efficiently assist in the removal of dust mites and their faeces – and bacteria from your (and your families) beds.

Germicidal effect: 99% effectiveness
Vacuum cleaning: 89% effectiveness
Air purification: 88.6% effectiveness by 3nm particle size
Killing house dust mite effect: Average 98.9% effectiveness

What is UV-C Technology:
Ultraviolet (UV) light is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength shorter than that of visible light.

The spectrum consists of electromagnetic waves with frequencies higher than those that humans identify as the colour violet (purple).

UV light is typically found as part of the radiation received by the Earth from the Sun. Most humans are aware of the effects of UV through the painful condition of sunburn.

UV can be separated into various ranges, with short range UV (UV-C) considered "germicidal UV." At certain wavelengths UV is mutagenic to bacteria, viruses and other micro-organisms.

The Ewbank Raycop incorporates UV-C technology.
"UV-C radiation produced by the tube fitted inside the Raycop emits large amounts of invisible ultraviolet rays of 254nm (nanometers) wave length. This UV-C light is germicidal, it damages the DNA of house dust mites, bacteria, viruses and other pathogens and thus destroys their ability to multiply and cause disease.

UV-A, -B and -C radiations cause damage to all living organisms, including bacteria, fungi and insects. UV-C radiation is the most potent of the three types of UV radiation and acts at short range. The DNA is one of the key targets for UV-induced damage

Because of its powerful lethal effect and the ease to deliver high doses, UV-C has been used for decades to kill bacteria using germicidal devices. Many studies support the lethal effect of UV-C on bacteria e.g. (Liltved and Landfald, 1993; Macher, 1993; Conner-Kerr et al., 1998), including MRSA (Sheldon et al., 2005) and UV-C can kill 99.9 % of a given bacteria population in seconds using UV-C doses in the range of those delivered by Raycop. These studies give a strong support to the claim that Raycop will destroy 99.9% of bacteria by a combination of action at the membrane and DNA level. A further confirmation of this claim has been obtained by a study using the Raycop device itself. The experiments carried out demonstrated that an exposure of 2 seconds is sufficient to kill 99.9% of a population of E.coli and of Staphylococcus aureus (Hwang, 2005)."

What our customers are saying:

"I recently purchased a Raycop and I have found it to be invaluable. My eldest daughter suffers from asthma and doesn't sleep well at night. I have used the Raycop on her bed over the last month and she is sleeping much better and doesn't feel at all asthmatic when she gets up in the morning. I am delighted to have found such a wonderful product."
Yours sincerely,
Sarah Boyce.

" Just to let you know having used the Raycop on a regular basis has helped greatly in the ongoing treatment of my sons asthma."
Yours truly,
Mrs Deborah Manning.

The Raycop is the only product of its kind and has been awarded the coveted seal of approval from the British allergy foundation.

Jules Payne of Allergy UK comments: "Allergy UK is absolutely delighted to award our Seal of Approval to the Raycop having scientifically proven that it significantly reduces bacteria and dust mites from beds. It is currently the first and only product of its type to be endorsed with our Seal of Approval."
