Cleanroom personnel are trained to minimize contamination by following strict protocols and wearing specific protective equipment. This includes wearing specially designed cleanroom shoes, which are easy to clean, secure stability, and are often made of a non-shedding fabric.
Although the shoes are easy to clean, they still represent a risk of contamination, when personnel put on their shoes and move through different cleanroom areas.
The UV222 Step-On is touchless, chemical-free, and a fast and effective way of decontaminating the entire outsole of the shoes, reaching areas inaccessible to sticky mats and wipes.

The UV222 Step-On is a compact, touch-free Far-UVC unit designed to reduce contamination risks from cleanroom footwear. Installed at critical entry and exit points, it provides rapid decontamination of shoe soles—eliminating microbes in areas that sticky mats and wipes often miss.
Built for Cleanroom Transitions
Designed for seamless floor integration, the UV222 Step-On activates automatically when a user steps on it. In less than 15 seconds, it delivers a powerful dose of 222 nm light, neutralizing pathogens without chemicals or physical contact—supporting cleanroom hygiene from the ground up.
Key Features and Benefits:
Rapid disinfection of footwear in under 15 seconds
Touchless activation for hygienic, hands-free use
