Glo Box Kit Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

The Glo Box Kit is designed to facilitate effective demonstrations of simulated germ transfer and handwashing techniques. This kit allows for vivid display of simulated germs even in brightly lit environments by blocking ambient light. It is an essential tool for educational, healthcare, and industrial settings to visually demonstrate hygiene practices.

2. Safety Information

Please read and understand all safety instructions before using the Glo Box Kit. Failure to follow these instructions may result in injury or damage to the product.

• UV Light Safety: The 21 LED UV flashlight emits ultraviolet light. Avoid direct eye exposure to the UV light. Do not shine the UV light directly into eyes or onto skin for prolonged periods.
• Glo Germ Products: Glo Germ Oil and Powder are non-toxic and safe for topical use. However, avoid ingestion and direct contact with eyes. In case of eye contact, rinse thoroughly with water. Keep out of reach of small children.
• Battery Safety: Ensure batteries for the UV flashlight are inserted correctly according to polarity markings. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Dispose of used batteries responsibly.
• Glo Box Handling: Handle the foldable Glo Box with care. Do not apply excessive force that could damage its structure.

4. Setup Instructions

4.1 Assembling the Glo Box

1. Remove the fold-flat Glo Box from its carry case.
2. Carefully unfold the box, ensuring all panels are extended to form the cube shape.
3. Secure any internal fasteners or flaps if present, to maintain the box's structure. The box is designed to be self-supporting once unfolded.
4. Place the assembled Glo Box on a stable, flat surface.

4.2 Preparing the UV Flashlight

1. The 21 LED UV Flashlight comes with batteries included. If the flashlight does not turn on, check the battery compartment for proper insertion or replace batteries if necessary.
2. Ensure the flashlight is functioning by pressing the power button. The UV LEDs should illuminate.

5. Operating Instructions

The Glo Box Kit is used to demonstrate the presence of simulated germs and the effectiveness of handwashing or cleaning techniques.

5.1 Using Glo Germ Oil for Handwashing Demonstrations

1. Apply a small amount of Glo Germ Oil (about a pea-sized drop) to the hands of the person participating in the demonstration.
2. Instruct the person to rub their hands together as if applying lotion, ensuring the oil is spread over all surfaces, including between fingers and under nails.
3. Before washing, have the person place their hands inside the Glo Box through the designated openings.
4. Turn on the UV flashlight and shine it onto the hands inside the Glo Box. The Glo Germ Oil will fluoresce brightly, simulating the presence of germs.
5. After observation, instruct the person to wash their hands thoroughly using soap and water, following proper handwashing techniques.
6. Once hands are washed and dried, have the person place their hands back into the Glo Box. Use the UV flashlight again to observe any remaining fluorescent particles, indicating areas that were not properly cleaned.

5.2 Using Glo Germ Powder for Surface Contamination Demonstrations

1. Lightly dust Glo Germ Powder onto a surface or object that will be part of the demonstration (e.g., a doorknob, keyboard, or a person's clothing).
2. Allow participants to interact with the contaminated surface, simulating normal contact and transfer.
3. After interaction, have participants place their hands or the contaminated object inside the Glo Box.
4. Turn on the UV flashlight and shine it on the hands or object. The Glo Germ Powder will fluoresce, revealing the spread of simulated germs.
5. Demonstrate cleaning protocols for the surface or object, then re-examine under UV light to show the effectiveness of the cleaning.

5.3 General Usage Tips

• The Glo Box is designed to block ambient light, making demonstrations effective even in well-lit rooms. For best results, however, a slightly dimmed environment can enhance visibility.
• Ensure the UV flashlight is held close enough to the target area inside the box for optimal fluorescence.
• Clean up any spilled Glo Germ products promptly to avoid unintended fluorescence.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Glo Box

• The soft-shell Glo Box can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
• Allow the box to air dry completely before folding and storing.
• Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the fabric.

6.2 Storing the Kit

• After use, carefully fold the Glo Box flat and return it to the hard plastic carry case along with the Glo Germ Oil, Powder, and UV flashlight.
• Store the kit in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Ensure the caps on the Glo Germ Oil and Powder bottles are tightly sealed to prevent leakage or spillage.
