Evidence led
healthcare technology.

In clinical environments, confidence depends on evidence, documentation and repeatable processes. Mackwell Health builds its platform around independent testing, recognised quality systems and auditable decontamination workflows.

Medical Device QMS

ISO 13485:2016
certified quality management.

Achieved in 2025. ISO 13485:2016 is the most demanding quality management standard in the world for medical device manufacturers. It requires every process - across manufacturing, supply and post-market surveillance - to meet a documented, auditable standard.

Mackwell Health is part of a UK manufacturing group with over 45 years in safety critical electronics. The engineering culture that earned that heritage is the same culture behind our QMS.

Every Mackwell Health product undergoes 100% individual testing - not batch sampling. Not statistical probability. Every single unit, every single time.

The Highest Standard of Proof

Tested at a leading UK biosafety and infectious disease research facility.

UKHSA Porton Down is a major UK centre for infectious disease, biosafety and public health research. We chose to validate our technology there to generate evidence that meets the highest scientific scrutiny.

High levels of airborne pathogen inactivation demonstrated under controlled UKHSA test conditions.
Aerosol challenge testing · ProtectivAIR®
UKHSA Porton Down · MS2 viral surrogate · Influenza H1N1
Methodology

Real virus infected air passed through the ProtectivAIR® irradiation chamber and analysed in the UKHSA laboratory

Control

Direct comparison with UV-C light on vs off - providing scientifically rigorous, reproducible, peer-reviewable results

Pathogens Tested

Quantitative testing used the MS2 bacteriophage as a conservative viral surrogate; influenza H1N1 transmission was prevented in qualitative challenge testing. Results available for independent review

UV-C Biovalidation Standard

BS8628:2022 - a significant step forward
in UV-C biovalidation methodology.

For decades there was no recognised standard specifically for validating UV-C surface disinfection. BS8628:2022 changed that, specifying robust test methodology and setting challenging acceptance criteria against resistant micro-organisms. Mackwell Health products have been independently tested against BS8628:2022, with evidence and test reports available on request.

ProtectivAIR®
Personal Air Protection

ProtectivAIR®

UKHSA Porton Down tested. Quantitative inactivation demonstrated using the MS2 viral surrogate, with influenza H1N1 transmission prevented in qualitative challenge testing - designed to be the safest device of its kind. Also independently tested by BSI, with certification in progress - final assessment pending.

illuvi® Clean Light
Whole Room Disinfection

illuvi® Clean Light

UKAS-accredited 3rd party laboratory verified. Multi-positional coverage that reduces shadowing and repositioning across the clinical space.

illuvi® HD2 range
Device Decontamination

illuvi® HD2 range

Microbox-HD2, Minibox-HD2, Tallbox-HD2 - all BS8628:2022 verified. SARS-CoV-2 inactivation confirmed at BSL-3 biosafety level.

Sustainability in practice

Lower-impact workflows.

Our UV-C platform is designed to support healthcare teams in reducing chemical disinfectant waste streams, single use PPE and avoidable environmental discharge.

NHS Net Zero by 2040
Our UV-C platform is designed to support healthcare's Net Zero ambitions by reducing reliance on chemical disinfectant waste streams and single use PPE.
DHSC Design for Life 2045
Aligned with the Government roadmap to reduce avoidable single use medtech - supporting reusable device pathways as part of a circular healthcare economy.
Low Chemical Discharge
UV-C disinfection workflows are designed to operate without chemical consumables - supporting healthcare teams in reducing toxic residue and environmental discharge.
