What UV Medico does

UV Medico A/S is a Danish MedTech company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Åbyhøj, Denmark, that develops Far-UVC 222 nm disinfection systems using Krypton Chloride (KrCl) excimer lamp technology. The company's core differentiator is human-safe operation: unlike conventional 254 nm UV-C systems, UV Medico's products can continuously inactivate airborne and surface pathogens in occupied rooms, achieving greater than 99% reduction of airborne viruses equivalent to 1,480 air changes per hour. The product portfolio spans 13 hardware variants under the UV222 brand, including ceiling downlights, linear fixtures, pendant lights, decontamination booths, material airlocks, ambulance-specific units, and industrial-grade IP66 systems, addressing hospitals, pharmaceutical cleanrooms, ambulances, and indoor air quality applications.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales with consultative, quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts, complemented by regional distributor networks in markets such as Germany and the MENA region. UV Medico maintains ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications, supports compliance with EU GMP Annex 1 and ISO 14644, and references peer-reviewed validation in Nature and Scientific Reports. Named customers include Sanofi, King Hamad American Mission Hospital (Bahrain), 105th Military Hospital (Poland), Falck ambulances, and Micro CRISPR, with installations active across Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. The company appears to be founder-owned, with Peter Johansen as Co-founder and Chairman and Anders Samuelsen (former Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs) as CEO of UV Medico Europe. No institutional funding rounds, revenue figures, or public listing have been disclosed.
