Antimicrobial scanner, the rival of virus era

Why we need to have “Antimicrobial barcode scanners”?

As the SARS in 2002, Covid-19 in 2019, this shows that the future must be a “virus war”, how to prevent the virus war is not just the business and responsibility of medical staff, but all of us.

Covid-19 looks like a “never-end” plague from 2019, as we can see, it’s not only the impact for healthcare or medical industry, even the retailers and their supply chain partners are working hard to prevent the spread of COVID-19 by adopting some new social distancing and operational safety measures in their warehouses, stores and workplace, including strict hand washing with anti-bacterial soap over 20 seconds, equipment cleaning SOP daily and others that recommended by local government. But this is not enough, some health experts concern that typically-airborne pathogens such as COVID-19 could land on and temporarily live on surfaces like plastics, including those found on the barcode scanners widely used by workers in production equipment, warehouses, cleanrooms or any other workplaces, as such, the proper cleaning for these surfaces is needed. If the surface is with an antimicrobial coating of ingredients, that will be a best solution definitely.

NUMA has researched and developed for many years with full efforts in the field of antimicrobial scanners to protect staff, patients and most workplace where antimicrobial scanners required to minimize the risk of spreading germs.
