RECENTLY, in effort to eliminate Ebola at the source, through use of innovative disinfection technology, two “germ-killing robots” were deployed from the US to the JFK Hospital and ELWA Hospital both in Monrovia, Republic of Liberia, both hotspots of the Ebola disease outbreak.

The robots, technically known as TRU-D SmartUVC, were used to disinfect health care environments where Ebola patients are being treated. Good Health Weekly gathered that TRU-D is the only portable UV disinfection device on the market with Sensor360 technology, which calculates the time needed to react to room variables such as size, geometry, surface reflectivity and the amount and location of equipment in the room and effectively deliver a lethal dose of UV-C light during a single cycle from a single, central location in the room.

Ultraviolet light
“It works by generating ultraviolet light energy that modifies the DNA structure of viral pathogens, like Ebola, so that they cannot reproduce. Viruses that cannot reproduce cannot colonise and harm patients,” the inventor, a tropical disease expert and medical anthropologist Dr. Jeffery L. Deal noted in an interview.

Good invention. So is Zmapp still effective in the treatment of Ebola virus? Its been a while I heard about the drug in the news.

Good invention. I was actually looking forward to see the pix of the robots.

The pic

A “germ-killing robots'' ? This is good...
If this is effective they should also invent a "cancer-killing robots'' as well. {just my thought}

I've known that of a surety, Ebola will be a thing of the past one day .

Na them they manufacture viruses

Na them they sell the various forms of cure / solutions

Robocop ni, ebolacop na, all na wash.
