BooCax UV200 UV Disinfection Robot
BooCax UV200 serves as the company’s professional-grade UV-C disinfection robot, deploying ten high-power germicidal lamps in a 360-degree array to deliver rapid terminal disinfection in operating rooms, patient wards, and other clinical environments requiring thorough surface and air sterilization.
Product Overview
Launched in 2020, the UV200 established BooCax’s position in the hospital disinfection automation market. The system combines industrial-strength UV-C output with the company’s proprietary SLAM navigation platform, enabling autonomous operation across complex healthcare facility layouts without requiring dedicated personnel to supervise each disinfection cycle.
The product targets healthcare-associated infection (HAI) prevention, specifically addressing pathogens that persist on environmental surfaces between manual cleaning cycles. Unlike chemical disinfection methods, UV-C irradiation leaves no residue and requires no ventilation period before room reoccupation—critical advantages in high-turnover clinical settings.
Key Features
Designed for terminal disinfection in operating rooms and high-risk wards, BooCax UV200 deploys ten 41W UV-C lamps in a 360-degree array with autonomous SLAM navigation and automatic human-presence shutoff.
- 360-Degree Coverage: Ten 41W UV-C tubes arranged circumferentially eliminate shadowing issues common in directional UV systems
- High Irradiation Intensity: Delivers up to 492.2 μW/cm² at one-meter distance from geometric center
- EPA-Registered Lamps: Uses LightSources UV germicidal tubes at the 254nm wavelength peak for pathogen inactivation
- Autonomous Navigation: Centimeter-level positioning accuracy with memory-based mapping and intelligent obstacle avoidance
- Safety Interlock: Infrared sensor array detects human presence within 3-5 meters, automatically shutting down UV lamps
- Scheduled Operation: Programmable disinfection routines with automatic return-to-charger functionality
Technical Specifications
Designed for round-the-clock scheduled operation, UV200 runs on a 3.5-hour charge for 1.8 hours of autonomous coverage, delivering 492.2 μW/cm² at one meter across a 254nm germicidal wavelength.

Clinical Applications
The UV200 addresses terminal disinfection requirements across multiple hospital departments:
Operating Rooms: Completes disinfection of a standard 25 m² operating suite using 4 disinfection points in approximately 12 minutes, enabling rapid room turnover between procedures.
Intensive Care Units: Autonomous multi-point disinfection reduces environmental bioburden in high-risk patient care areas without displacing clinical staff.
Isolation Rooms: Provides supplementary disinfection for spaces housing patients with communicable diseases, supporting infection control protocols.
General Wards: Scheduled overnight disinfection cycles address surfaces that accumulate pathogens throughout daily patient care activities.
Pathogen Efficacy
Laboratory testing documents rapid inactivation kinetics against healthcare-relevant pathogens:
| Pathogen | Required Dose | Time to 99.9% Kill |
|---|---|---|
| Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) | 16,000 μWs/cm² | 10.7 seconds |
| MRSA | 6,600 μWs/cm² | 4.4 seconds |
| Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) | 12,581 μWs/cm² | 8.4 seconds |
Testing confirms 99.99% elimination rates for COVID-19 virus within 48.92 minutes of continuous exposure at one-meter distance.
Regulatory Status
| Region | Status | Details |

| China | CMA Certified | Third-party testing authorization |
| Europe | CE Marked | Compliant with applicable directives |
| USA | — | Uses EPA-registered UV lamps |
The UV200 meets international ozone safety standards, producing average concentrations of 0.04 mg/m³ (0.02 PPM) during 60-minute operation cycles—below both WHO (0.06 PPM) and China’s indoor air quality threshold (0.1 mg/m³).
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical UV200 disinfection cycle take?
Cycle duration depends on room size and configuration. A 25 m² operating room requires approximately 12 minutes using 4 disinfection points. Larger spaces like 90 m² wards typically use 6-8 points at 3-5 minutes each.
Is the UV200 safe to operate in occupied spaces?
No. The UV200 must operate in evacuated spaces only. Infrared sensors automatically deactivate UV lamps if personnel are detected within 3-5 meters, but the system is designed for terminal disinfection after room clearance.
What maintenance does the UV200 require?
Primary maintenance involves UV lamp replacement based on cumulative operating hours. The navigation system requires periodic map updates if facility layouts change significantly.
