The system of multiple UV emitters must incorporate a parabolic UV concentrator for increased energy dosage and intensity. The system must utilize automated laser measurement and validation of room size to determine and ensure an effective dose of energy has been delivered to all surfaces in the least amount of time. The system must have the ability to validate energy output to ensure proper UV intensity during each disinfection cycle. The UV system must have a feature to apply "targeted and limited" range disinfection with safe continuous disinfection delivered unilaterally in a single direction from multiple emitters while safely ensuring that NO UV radiation is delivered outside of the chosen disinfection area. The system will incorporate a process for control of emitter s from outside the room when starting the system for employee safety. The system must accommodate unattended total room disinfection in a single, uninterrupted cycle without a need for repositioning or movement of the emitters. The system must incorporate multiple motion sensors within a single room with multiple entry/exit points for added safety. The system must incorporate dual motion sensors with Passive Infrared motion detection AND movement detection by an accelerometer/gravimeter. The system must have BOTH Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity allowing "Cloud" connectivity for maintaining and monitoring performance, archive capability and remote accessibility. The Contractor will offer the MINIMUM operational and safety training: -A training schedule approved by the VA prior to start of implementation. -An on-site and qualified training instructor for a minimum of 16 hours (2, eight-hour days) for each purchased. -Training schedule must be flexible to accommodate the operational needs of the intended VA operators/users.
