The Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee (IIT-R) have developed the disinfection box – “Unisaviour” box, which can be used to sterilise various personal belongings to minimise the COVID-19 transmission.
The device consists of a specially designed highly reflective geometry, which allows the UVC light to pass through the calibrated passage and disinfect the items.
The device is equipped with an Arduino programmed system which regulates the time, intensity and amount of UVC exposure required for the sterilization process.
The device is user friendly and has an additional safety switch for the UVC light.
