Customer challenge

The solutionDeactivates tested pathogens

With the Coronavirus pandemic present,shopping brings some challenges. The lastthing you would need, is to worry about
your health and safety during shopping.
The need for disinfection options - inparticular for indoor air, but also forsurfaces and equipment has increasedsignificantly. A challenge that was faced by
EDEKA Clausen supermarket in Hamburg
to provide additional safety of customers
and employees.

As an innovative retailer, EDEKA Clausen is
the first supermarket in Germany to deliver anadditional layer of protection with 31 Philips
UV-C disinfection upper air luminaires installed
to cover 1,315.70m2 large branch in Hamburg.
As the upper air devices are equipped withshielding and optics to prevent exposure to UV-C
radiation, employees can safely fill the shelves,and customers do their grocery shopping.
The UV-C upper air luminaires continuously
disinfect the air that flows through the upperareas of the store, thanks to natural convection,or air circulation. Philips BioShift chamber was
also set up to disinfect objects such as shared
hand-held scanners, adding another level ofsafety for employees and customers.

UV-C light has been proven to effectively deactivate tested pathogen.2
Philips UV-C disinfection upper air luminaires inactivate up to 99.9% ofvirus Coliphage X174 in air within 10 minutes in a room with sufficient air
circulation.3
