Hands Free UVC

What Hands Free UVC does

Hands Free UVC is a privately held hardware manufacturer founded in 2020 and headquartered in Monroe, Washington, that produces UVC germicidal disinfection devices for healthcare and facility environments. The company's product line consists of three stainless steel 304 cabinets — the HFUVC-100 (a hand-truck-style item disinfection cabinet), the HFUVC-200AP (a four-wheel air processor unit), and the HFUVC-300AP (a rotating-caster air processor) — all built around a 254nm germicidal lamp that delivers in excess of seven times the minimum effective UVC dose (2mJ/cm²) in one minute and inactivates pathogens such as COVID-19 in 90 seconds or less.

Operationally, the company designs, fabricates, assembles, and tests its products in the USA, and relies on a hands-free foot-pedal activation system combined with enclosed-cabinet safety interlocks to eliminate user contact with handles, switches, or knobs and prevent cross-contamination between users. The devices are FDA-classified under 21 CFR 880.6600 as Class II UV radiation chamber disinfection devices and are marketed as compliant with FDA COVID-19 Emergency Use Authorization guidelines, though they have not been formally FDA-tested and ETL certification remains pending.

Commercially, Hands Free UVC sells hardware on a one-time, quote-based pricing model directly through its website to healthcare facilities and other organizational buyers, with volume discounts available for bulk orders and a regional agent in Orleans, Ontario handling Canadian inquiries. The company maintains no disclosed subscription, software, or recurring revenue components, and has no disclosed funding rounds, headcount, named customers, or revenue figures.

Core offering

Hands Free UVC designs, fabricates, and sells physical UVC germicidal disinfection cabinets and air-processing units for healthcare and facility environments. The devices use 254nm ultraviolet light, operated via hands-free foot pedals with safety interlocks, and deliver in excess of 7x the minimum effective UVC dose (2 mJ/cm2) in 1 minute to inactivate pathogens such as COVID-19 in 90 seconds or less. The product line consists of three hardware models (HFUVC -100, -200AP, -300AP) sold as one-time purchases through the company website and a Canada-based regional agent.

Product overview

Hands Free UVC offers a portfolio of UVC disinfecting devices with hands-free operation for healthcare and facility environments. The product line includes three main models: the HFUVC -100 (item disinfection cabinet with hand-truck-style mobility), the HFUVC -200AP (air processor with four-wheel casters), and the HFUVC -300AP (air processor with rotating casters). All units feature foot pedal operation, stainless steel 304 construction, and 254nm UVC germicidal technology rated to inactivate COVID-19 in 90 seconds or less. The products were developed to address COVID-19 Emergency Use Authorizations and reduce consumption of cleaning supplies in healthcare settings.
