TAIPEI, Sept. 4, 2020 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/--

ATrack Technology Inc. (TPEX: 6465), an Internet of Vehicles (IoV) company, has 
established the new brand UVengers that provides disease prevention products to 
help people stay safe from pathogen-related illnesses during the current 
pandemic and in the post-pandemic world. UVengers' first product UV1, equipped 
with high UV output LEDs from renowned Japanese UV-C LED manufacturer Asahi 
Kasei, can kill 99.8% of the COVID-19 virus in 3 seconds, according to research

UVengers is a brand established in 2020 by ATrack Technology Inc., a Taipei 
Exchange listed company, and aims to provide people with protection against 
surrounding pathogens through a series of highly effective and reliable disease 
prevention products. UV1 is the first product from UVengers. UV1 is the only 
professional handheld UV-C disinfection device designed for consumers that is 
proven effective against SARS-CoV-2 and combines rapid disinfection function 
with lightweight portable form.

Each of UV1's UV-C LEDs has market leading UV output power of 60mW, and emits 
UV light at 265nm wavelength which has the best germicidal effect against 
pathogens. In order to verify UV1's ability to kill SARS-CoV-2, ATrack 
commissioned Chang Gung University to test the device against live virus in a 
Biosafety Level 3 lab. The results showed 99.8% of SARS-CoV-2 reduction rate 
after irradiation by UV1 for 3 seconds, making the device one of the few UV 
disinfection devices on the market that has been confirmed to kill the COVID-19 
virus. Dr. Hsin-Chih Lai of the Department of Medical Biotechnology and 
Laboratory Science at Chang Gung University who led the testing program said, 
"In addition to SARS-CoV-2, UV-C can also remove other kinds of bacteria and 
viruses such as Staphylococcus aureus, influenza A and B, enterovirus, 
norovirus and rotavirus. The results demonstrated that the virus removal rate 
reached 99.8% in 3 seconds and 99.9% in 5 seconds. It is estimated that 99% of 
SARS-CoV-2 can be killed in one second." ATrack noted that UV1 is a rare 
high-quality UV-C disinfection device on the market. Users can disinfect the 
surrounding environment and frequently used items on demand and as frequently 
as they deem necessary, lowering the risk of infection by reducing the amount 
of pathogens while further inhibiting the invasion of various bacteria and 
viruses from the external environment.

As the pandemic continues to spread worldwide, ATrack will continue to launch 
new disease prevention products for use in different scenarios, in a move to 
meet the needs of the public in combating pathogens and help people create a 
safer and healthier environment.
