Device Description
The Vioguard self-sanitizing keyboard, or UVKB50, is a keyboard with touchpad which resides in a motorized tray. The tray retracts into an enclosed UV-C treatment device which irradiates the keyboard with UV-C light of ~ 254 nm wavelength generated by two 25 watt ultraviolet germicidal lamps. The device includes dual safety interlocks intended to prevent operation of the UV lamps unless the keyboard is fully retracted into the unit and the unit door is completely closed. This feature is intended to prevent the device user from exposure to UV-C light. The device operations are controlled by a small 8-bit microcontroller. Reading instructions and data stored permanently in its own internal memory and controlling the hardware directly, the tasks accomplished by device firmware/software are the following:
- Controlling the motorized slide by activating the DC motor and reading the limit switches which are part of the slide mechanism;
- Controlling the UV-C lamp exposure time, by reading the light sensor and integrating the dosage until a preset exposure is reached;
- Determining the dosage setting by reading an internal potentiometer;
- Controlling and reading the state of the proximity sensor;
- Calibrating the light sensor at the factory and storing the calibration information in internal non-volatile memory;
- Controlling the LED status indicator;
- Determining if there is keyboard or touch pad activity; and
- Monitoring the state of the front door.
The default disinfection cycle takes 80 to 120 seconds to complete.
A summary of the key device features is as follows:
ENCLOSURE:
The UVKB50 keyboard and touchpad are stored in a mechanized enclosure when not in use for keyboard data entry functions. Please refer to Figure 1 below; the diagram shows that the keyboard extends from the enclosure to allow for keyboard use. The enclosure is made of aluminum, which can be surface cleaned, and is designed to support a computer monitor on top to save desk space.
TOUCHLESS SENSOR AND MOTORIZED DRAWER:
When the user sits at the computer workstation to use the keyboard, the user waves a hand near an infrared proximity sensor located on the enclosure's front panel. A reversible DC motor opens the enclosure's door when the sensor is activated and automatically extends the keyboard from the enclosure into a working position for the user.
AUTOMATIC/MANUAL UV-C DISINFECTION MODES:
The UVKB50 can be set to automatically retract the keyboard and run a disinfection cycle after a 10 minute period of keyboard inactivity, or when operated in the manual mode. When the user is finished at the keyboard workstation, the user can manually initiate a disinfection cycle by pressing the "close" button on the keyboard. This causes the keyboard tray to retract into the enclosure and initiate a disinfection cycle.
DISINFECTION CYCLE:
Disinfection is performed using two 25-watt ultraviolet germicidal lamps. The UVKB50 electronics consist of a power supply and lamp ballast, which operate on standard AC (line) power. The reflector and diffuser inside the enclosure are used to distribute the light over the keyboard surface during a disinfection cycle. The ultraviolet light used is known as UV-C, at ~254 nm wavelength.
DISINFECTION CYCLE CONTROL:
Once inside the enclosure, the keyboard and touchpad are illuminated with the UV-C germicidal light. Software in the Vioguard UVKB50 monitors the output of the UV-C bulbs and adjusts the disinfection cycle duration. The default disinfection cycle takes 80 to 120 seconds to complete.
LED STATUS INDICATOR:
A multicolor LED status indicator on the enclosure's front panel provides the device user with information on disinfection cycle completion, servicing needs, etc. For example: A green LED means the disinfection cycle has been completed and the keyboard is ready for use; a flashing red LED indicates that a UV bulb needs replacement, etc.
SAFETY INTERLOCKS:
When the keyboard tray is retracted into the enclosure, the enclosure's spring-loaded front door shuts and the enclosure remains "light-tight." The "light-tight" door has been designed to protect the user against inadvertent UV-C exposure.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Microbial Reduction Testing: Antimicrobial performance testing under simulated conditions of use for the device was performed by an independent laboratory. Using both gram positive and gram negative pathogens, the requestor provided adequate justification for the selection of test organisms. A wide range of microbes such as tubercle bacilli, streptococci, pneumococci and staphylococci have been demonstrated to be present on keyboards used in patient care areas. The requestor noted that the 4 bacteria studied, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Klebsiella pneumonia are major nosocomial pathogens, which can be transmitted by direct contact. The requestor also noted that all of the above bacteria are used by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in its efficacy testing of disinfectants. The independent laboratory studied the 4 pathogens listed above and the testing demonstrated that the device was effective at reducing populations of the 4 bacteria when operated at its factory power setting of b(4) diluted b(4) b(4) through a small syringe and allowed to dry for 45 to 50 minutes before treatment. The final antibacterial UV-C irradiation test data showed that the device achieves a 4.0 log10 or greater reduction of each of the challenge pathogens at each of the "worst case" device sites irradiated.
