XENEX Disinfection Services Inc.: LightStrike Blackout Curtains Recalled Due to UV and Ozone Exposure Risk

Agency Publication Date: April 23, 2024

Summary

Xenex Disinfection Services is recalling approximately 377 LightStrike Blackout Curtains used with LightStrike Germ-Zapping Robots (Models PXUV4D, PXUV5D, LSMUV6-FT, or LSMUV6-SL). The curtains are no longer recommended as a protective barrier because they may fail to block harmful UV/Ozone exposure to people standing on the other side of the curtain during a disinfection cycle. This recall affects various part numbers used for whole-room microbial reduction in medical and commercial settings.

Risk

Bystanders in the same room as an active disinfection cycle may be exposed to UV light and Ozone despite the curtain barrier, leading to temporary skin reddening, a sensation of sand in the eyes, nausea, headache, or irritation of the mucous membranes.

What You Should Do

Identify if you have the affected LightStrike Blackout Curtains by checking for part numbers 610-00008, 610-00009, 610-00019, 610-00020, and 610-00024.
Verify if these curtains are used with LightStrike Germ-Zapping Robot models PXUV4D, PXUV5D, LSMUV6-FT, or LSMUV6-SL with UDI-DIs: 00814122020033, 00814122020064, 00814122020125, 00814122020132.
Immediately stop using these blackout curtains as a protective barrier for bystanders; ensure no persons are in the same room on either side of the curtain while a UV disinfection cycle is in progress.
Contact Xenex Disinfection Services Inc. at their San Antonio, Texas headquarters or through your primary service representative to discuss alternative safety protocols or updated recommendations.
