Introduction (Does It Do What It Should)

All right, as you can read from the title, this is my second foray into UVCeed, and what I believe is the same product, but since it has been two years, it is worth reporting on. After all, the world has changed a lot since then.

UVCeed is made to stick to the back of a smartphone, and it even has a Magsafe backing to really get on the new versions of iPhones. If you don’t have some kind of magnetic attachment, the UVCeed comes with a small metallic adhesive plate which you stick to the back of your smartphone, just so you can stick on the UVCeed magnetically. If you are concerned that the UVCeed device will take up too much space on your smart device, then you should know that it is only 7 mm wide and weighs only 25 grams. Just don’t forget to charge it with the included USB-C cable.

Once it is on your phone, fully charged, you open up the app to discover that it recognizes a UVCeed device present. Simply select it, and start killing viruses. The application is connected to your device’s camera, and you can see it is doing its job with the help of some visible and invisible light. The UVCeed then uses its mercury-free LED UV light rays and multiple sensors, with UVCeed’s proprietary iCide smart dosage and safety technology.

UVCeed’s intuitive app really helps clean off surfaces using the power of UV rays. You have a view in augmented reality of what your camera sees, and it will show images of areas that it is scanning, as well as how much viruses that is eliminating. We have a video below that shows the device at work.

Why should you trust the UVCeed for cleaning away harmful viruses on everyday surfaces such as office desks? Because it was created by a doctor. Dr. Peter Bonutti M.D., an extremely accomplished author, professor, and consultant with over 30 years of experience, also founded Bonutti Research, a medical device incubator that has developed a lot of medical technology used around the world.

So yes, UVCeed has been created by experts in the field, but why is it called UVCeed? Well, UVC is a very safe method of eradicating pathogens without any questionable chemicals, and UVC is also known to effectively kill Coronavirus. Yes, that is still a thing. So you succeed with UVC, get it?

I had an opportunity to discuss UVCeed with one of the founders those two years ago, and I asked if there is anything else out on the market like UVCeed. Apparently, UVCeed is the first product of its type, to have a UVC disinfectant system used in conjunction with a camera. I mean, you actually see when your surface is 99.9 percent safe. Speaking of safe, there are no side-effects with using this type of technology, and even pauses its scan when humans, dogs, and cats are detected.

You can see a video of the UVCeed in action from the company below. If you are interested in purchasing the UVCeed for yourself, it can be found on the UVCeed website for $129.95. There is also this Disinfection Lid for your commuter cup, and I have to admit, there isn’t a lot of info on this product. There is an appearance of it on my video, and you can get the Bundle for $149.99.

Facts About The Company

I mentioned that I talked to Dr. Peter Bonutti, who is an orthopedic surgeon and engineer, who wanted to disinfect items like he did in the OR. Instead of wipes, he wanted to use UVC light, and he worked beside his friend and engineer Justin Beyers that can be used anytime and anywhere.

What Does This Company Make?

As far as I can tell, UVCeed seems to make just this item, and the cup top.

Just the Specs, Man

If you’re the type that needs this info, this section is for you!

I pretty much copy and pasted this info from the website.

Using UVC light to disinfect is not new, but pairing it with our portable artificial intelligence is.

UVC light can kill bacteria and viruses by breaking apart their DNA leaving it unable to function or reproduce.

For over 50 years UVC light has been used by hospitals and laboratories to keep their facilities disinfected.

Smart-object recognition technology has enabled UVC light to go beyond disinfecting boxes, rooms, or closed-HVAC systems.

UVCeed Has Taken this Technology Out of the Hospital and Made it accessible for Use Anytime, Anywhere.

By combining LED UVC technology with our proprietary object recognition and artificial intelligence, UVCeed has created the first mobile disinfecting* device that works with your smartphone’s camera.

UVC light can cause skin and eye irritation, but the UVCeed app can recognize people and pets and will automatically stop if it detects them.

UVCeed is registered with the EPA and has been tested by an independent laboratory for disinfection*.

In independent laboratory testing, UVCeed was shown to reduce Staphylococcus aureus by 99.9% in 15 seconds, Escherichia Coli by 99.99% in 24 seconds and SARS CoV2 by 99.9% in 32 seconds. Tested at 12.7 cm on hard non-porous surfaces. In testing at 6.5 cm on hard non-porous surfaces, UVCeed was shown to reduce SARS CoV2 by 99.99% in 64 seconds.

We Created UVCeed Because Wipes and Chemical Cleaners are Inconsistent at Best
When antibacterial wipes were introduced in 2000 they where revolutionary for their time — but they have many challenges.

Not all wipes kill viruses

Potential to spread pathogens from one surface to another

Cannot be used on all surfaces or fabrics

Okay, Get To The Unboxing Already!

Maybe I Want It, But Is There Anything Else Like It? Maybe For A Lower Price? Please?

I don’t think we have ever reviewed anything like this before, but we have reviewed some disinfectant devices that came out during COVID-19. I reviewed one from ZAGG, one from KeySmart, and one from iHome.
