GERMITEC NORTH AMERICA

Germitec manufactures UV-C high-level disinfection (HLD) devices for medical probe and endoscope disinfection. Founded in 2005, the company specializes in rapid, chemical-free UV-C technology targeting healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention. Primary product lines include Chronos® (90-second HLD for endocavitary and external ultrasound probes), Chronos® Max (4-minute HLD for transesophageal echocardiography probes and ENT endoscopes without operating channels), and Antigermix® (3-minute HLD for long endocavitary ultrasound probes, TEE/TOE, and ENT endoscopes). All systems employ proprietary Yuvee® UV-C technology proven to eliminate bacteria, fungi, viruses (including HPV), mycobacteria, and spores. The devices feature embedded software for cycle data tracking and traceability, are compatible with leading ultrasound and endoscopy manufacturer probes (e.g., SonoSite), and require no chemical purchase, storage, or disposal. Applications span transvaginal, transesophageal, and external ultrasound imaging as well as ENT endoscopy in hospital, clinic, and ambulatory settings. The company markets to OB/GYN, cardiology, anesthesia, and ENT departments globally, with evidence-based publications demonstrating workflow efficiency gains and superior infection control versus wipe-based disinfection protocols.
