1.1 Risk assessment
Heraeus Noblelight offers powerful light sources that are optimised for the spe-
cific application and hence have a high ultraviolet (UV), visible (VIS) and in-
frared (IR) radiation capacity, depending on lamp type, which may be a risk to
the user (artificial optical radiation (AOR)).
Various sources of information, in the form of harmonised standards and tech-
nical rules, together with European Directives and national laws, are available
to facilitate the safe use of these lamps and systems, or the devices and ma-
chines in which they are incorporated. These documents contain requirements
and guidelines for risk group classification, AOR risk assessment, technical
design, technical control, marking and possible safety precautions for users.
IPS_Man 20003302000 en 12.20 Page 7 of 38
èSee, e.g., the standards EN 62471, IEC/TR 62471-2, EN 12198-1 and EN
14255-1/-2.
EU Directive 2006/25/EC on the minimum health and safety requirements re-
garding the exposure of workers to risks arising from artificial optical radiation
provides that employers must assess whether and to what extent harmful op-
tical radiation, including UV and IR radiation, is emitted by the product and what
the exposure risks are for workers in the vicinity, e.g. foreseeable duration of
exposure and foreseeable accessible distances. This is a legal obligation of the
employer with respect to health and safety at the workplace and not a product-
related legal obligation of the manufacturer.
The employer can use the end-product manufacturer's operation manuals to
help it assess the exposure risk at the workplace but they do not release the
employer from its legal obligation to perform a risk assessment itself because,
in particular, the hazards from artificial optical radiation caused by the use of
the product at the workplace can be assessed only under the final user condi-
tions. Based on the results of the workplace risk assessment, the employer
must take appropriate measures to protect the user against hazards, including
risks from artificial optical radiation. The risk assessment shall include, without
limitation, the following areas:
uThe effect of the artificial optical radiation generated by the product on the
materials and users in the vicinity if the product is used as intended.
uThe fire hazard that may arise due to the product being a source of heat if
used as intended
uThe requirements regarding adequate ventilation and/or extraction if used
as intended.
uAmbient conditions under which the product is to be operated or stored,
such as temperature and relative air humidity.
uSafe working practices for working with the product.
uIn addition to the operation manual, all applicable legal and other regula-
tions regarding accident prevention and protection of the environment must
be observed.
2 Product description
Soluva® Air M10 is a product of Heraeus Noblelight for the disinfection of air in
closed rooms.
This product allows dry disinfection without chemicals.
The UV lamps contained in the device destroy the structure of the microorgan-
isms' DNA by using highly disinfectant UV light of the wavelength 254 nm
(ozone-free).

Optimising the disinfection effect
The disinfection effect of the Soluva® Air M10 depends on good air circulation
in the room.
èExamples of arrangement in the room see chapter Mounting.
Reduction of the risk of infection in dependence on air circulation and
room size
The higher the air circulation rate with disinfected air in the room, the lower the
risk of infection.
Air circulation rate (1/h) 1 2 3 4
Risk of infection -25 % -42 % -52 % -59 %
[J.L. Jimenez, COVID-19 Aerosol Transmission Estimator, https://tinyurl.com/
covid-estimator, 23/11/2020]
This mean, an air circulation rate of 3 per hour can more than halve the risk of
infection:
uExample (general): A room with 4m x 7m = 28m² floor area and a height
of 2.4 m has a room volume of 28m² x 2.4m = 67m³.
To obtain an air circulation rate of 3 per hour, a device should have an air-
flow rate of 3 x 67m³/h = 200m³/h.
uOne Soluva® Air M10 with 1,100m³/h airflow rate is suitable for a room of
367m³. For a ceiling height of 3.5m, the corresponding floor area would be
105m².
uWith two devices, you can either double the air circulation rate in a room
(and hence further reduce the risk of infection) or disinfect a room of double
the size at the same air circulation rate.
Scope of supply
The Soluva® Air M10 consists of:
uHousing with side covers for air inlet and outlet.
u2 UV lamps (NNI 370/77 XL HR) for air disinfection.
uIntegrated control unit.
uLED strip light for visualising the operating states.
uConnecting cable 15 m with plug with earthing contact (detachable).

3.1 List of the symbols used
Various symbols are used in this operation manual to identify the remaining
risks of the different hazard levels. The symbols help the user detect and mem-
orise risks.

The signal word "DANGER" indicates a high-risk hazard which, if not avoided,
will cause death or severe injury.
The signal word "WARNING" indicates a medium-risk hazard which, if not
avoided, may cause death or severe injury.
The signal word "CAUTION" indicates a low-risk hazard which, if not avoided,
may cause minor or moderately severe injury.
