New Velcro Pro Straps for All-Day Comfort 🤩, Forced-Air Fan🚀 New SGS Test Report on UV Safety ⚗️ ERP Panelists🕵
over 3 years ago
– Wed, Aug 12, 2020 at 06:03:17 PM
Hey, UV Mask Backers! 👋
We want to thank you all for believing in UVMask since day one. With your enthusiasm, support, feedback, and encouragement, you have made this project remarkable for many people around the globe.
The amount of support has been overwhelming, and we loved every second of it! Today we are very happy to share with you a few great improvements we’ve made to UVMask. That's right; UVMask is now even better! This was only possible with the feedback and support from you, our own backer community!
So, thank you!
In our previous Update we already introduced several massive upgrades for UVMask:
✔️ 8-hour battery life
✔️ 2 battery LED indicators
✔️ 2 sizes (Type X and Type S)
✔️ New mask color option - Titanium grey
Today we want to continue sharing great news with you. From the product design stage to the official launch on Kickstarter, we always improved UVMask. Today we are stoked to share the recent upgrades with you.
🤩 Stretch Goal #4 Unlocked — New Add-On Velcro Straps ($15) for All-Day Comfort
We just crossed the $2.5M milestone!
Do you know what that means? A new Stretch Goal. We are sooo excited to share this one with you too..
In addition to the standard silicone straps, we have promised a better strap add-on design for all-day wearing. Now here it is!
The new add-on straps use two secure adjustment/locking mechanisms simultaneously: a built-in double-hole adjuster and velcro attachments for accurate and comfortable adjustments to the mask.
The far side of the headband also comes with soft and sweat-resistant PU leather to ensure extra comfort and stability, especially when wearing the mask for longer hours or while moving.
How to get the new Velcro Straps?
See this step-by-step guide for desktop/laptop or just follow the steps on desktop/laptop (not mobile):
4. Manually type the corresponding amount of the add-on to the total of “Your current pledge”.
5. Hit the “Confirm” button to proceed
Example: if your current pledge is $99 for 1 UVMask and you want 1x additional Velcro Strap, manually add $15 to your current $99 pledge, for a total of $114.
🚀Forced-Air Fan
Moving forward we are happy to introduce another improvement to UVMask. Taking much great feedback from our backer community, we have made UVMask even better!
With two highly-safe and higher capacity Lithium-Polymer (103450) 1,800mAh (upgraded from the original 1,200mAh) batteries, not only were we able to extend the battery life from 6 hours to 8 hours as announced in the previous Update, we were also able to add a 12,000RPM super quiet convection fan to greatly improve breathability.
The newly added forced air system creates constant positive air pressure and provides a superior breathing experience. Thanks to its constant airflow, the new UVMak will offer the following benefits:
✔️ Improved airflow volume per minute
✔️ Thanks to positive air pressure it improves safety, creating a better air seal around the edges of the mask and ensuring no air leakage in
✔️ With constant airflow CO2 (carbon dioxide) is not accumulated inside the mask
✔️ A high concentration of oxygen improves breathing and makes it easier
✔️ Reduces moisture build-up, keeping air and skin dry and decreasing heat and sweat
⚗️ UV Light Leak-Proof Seal SGS Test Result
We are excited to share some more good news with you! SGS tested and confirmed UVMask UV-C light sealed design to be completely safe and free from UV exposure according to UL1598 CRD (dated 29.06.2020) Additional Requirements For Germicidal Equipment; and IEC 62471, Photobiological Safety of Lamps and Lamp Systems (1st edition, dated 2006-07).
To put it in simpler terms, UVMask's fully light sealed design guarantees UV light will not leak out from the Sterile-Vortex, hence ensuring safety for you.
Since we announced the call for experts, the responses have been overwhelming! We have had 563 responses in total! It is both motivating and challenging to see so many bright minds from various industries in UVMask's multicultural community.
Here are some stats from the applications we think you might be interested in:
We have such a strong and experienced expert community. The UM Systems team is excited to welcome you onboard. We are confident that working closely with our professional community we will bring great and positive changes to the world!
We have received super strong applications and had a hard time deciding upon the ERP panelists. We do want to keep the Expert Panel relatively small at the size of 15 people, a good size for effective online and offline group discussions and collaborations.
For those who aren't part of the panelists at this time, don't worry, you will still be part of our Beta-testing and Survey Group. 🥳
In the coming weeks, we will be holding Zoom meetings with the ERP. While 'Beta-testing and Survey Group' will be closely informed and will have exclusive access to future product development updates, beta-testing opportunities as well as closed-group polling and opinion surveys.
We will also reach out individually to members from both groups based on your specialty and experience, to pick your brain. 😉
Your support and help mean everything to us.
So last but not least, here are the 15 honorable panelists we have selected after careful considerations:
Marguerite Barnett, M.D. Ex-Surgeon of US Armed Forces
Gregory Schmeling, Vice Chairman of Education at Medical College
Orrin Fackler, Ph.D. and MIT Physicist
Mark Clanton, MD, MPH, Former National Institute of Health Executive
Jennifer Tung, Professional Singer, Pianist and Conductor
So excited to have you all on the panel! Can't wait to e-meet you all. 👏👏👏
🎙️ Sound Test Video
Worried your voice won’t be heard or hard to talk while wearing UVMask? UVMask was designed to provide the best natural communication experience. We have put together a short video to show you how it feels and sounds like while wearing the UVMask. 😊
🤗Spread the word!

Best,

🔋8-Hour Battery Life, Announcing 2 Sizes 😷and 3rd Color Unveiled 🎁
almost 4 years ago
– Wed, Aug 05, 2020 at 01:37:23 AM
Ahoy, all! 🌟
Thank you so much for believing in UVMask. This means a lot to us!😊
Today we've got some excellent news on the refinements that are either complete or in progress, the new color you have unlocked, ERP updates, and media coverage you should check out.
💪 New Improvements
During the past few weeks, amid the current situation worldwide, our R&D team continued working around the clock with our partners from around the world to make sure we deliver an even better UVMask than we initially announced at the start of this campaign!
We are now over 35 days in, and with your ongoing support and motivation, we have already applied several massive upgrades for UVMask. We appreciate your feedback as we continue making UVMask better!
🔋 8-Hour Battery Life!
It's finally here! We promised to update you as soon as we could confirm any battery updates.
Well, we are thrilled to inform you that our R&D team extended the runtime from 6 to 8 hours!
Two highly-safe and higher capacity Li-Polymer (103450) 1,800mAh (upgraded from the original 1,200mAh) Li-Po batteries now allow for up to 8 hours of continuous use on a single charge.
Now you can enjoy breathing safe and fresh for a full 8-hour workday.
Remember you can always extend the runtime even further with a power bank or USB cable.
Battery Indicators
Two LED indicators will pulse as you breathe. The blue color indicates the Sterlie Vortex is filtrating the air in real-time.
When the battery has ~30 minutes charge left, the indicators will turn red to suggest the battery needs charging.
The FFP2/N95 filtration will still be active even if the battery is depleted.
😷 Announcing Two Sizes (Type S and Type X)
Although the initial design of UVMask was already created with a universal fit in mind, we took in our backer community’s feedback and took a step further to ensure more comfort and safety of a better fit with two size variations.
We call them Type X and Type C.
The core UVMask (hardshell) will still stay the same. The only sizevariation is the soft silicone face padding (which is also replaceable and can be purchased as an add-on).
To ensure the most efficient filtration, a perfect fit, and better comfort, our R&D team used NIOSH anthropometric data in developing the most optimal silicon sizes for UVMask.
In 2003, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) conducted a nationwide anthropometric survey of 3,997 subjects.
Based on the gathered data, five sizes and shapes of heads were developed to represent the possible variations within the adult population.
UVMask silicone padding will now come in two different sizes — Type X and Type S.
Type X is designed for higher nose bridges and fits large faces — Large, Long/Narrow, and Medium from NIOSH head-forms.
While Type S is designed for lowerbridgenoses and perfectly fits smaller faces — Small and Shorter/Wide head-forms.
Thanks to the silicone’s flexibility and shape, these 2 shapes will create an airtight seal, regardless of smaller variations from person to person.
Please note children 6 years and older have similar face dimensions as adults with smaller faces/heads shown above. (Note: UVMask is not designed for children younger than 6. Parents may choose UVMask for younger children at their own discretion).
You will be able to select the silicone padding size as well as purchasing add-on replacements during the post-campaign survey in a service called BackerKit, along with your add-ons and shipment details.
🔓 Announcing New Color - Titanium Grey!
We received a huge number of responses since we announced the color choice survey. Today, we are excited to announce the winner — Titanium Grey!
You can now select it free of charge in the post-campaign survey — along with sizes, add-ons, and shipping details.
You’ll also be able to pick the Titanium Grey as a 3rd color option for the front shell (add $15 to your pledge for any additional front shell):
🕵 Update on Expert Review Panel
Earlier this week, we announced a call for our Expert Review Panel (ERP).
A unique forum that will bring together the core STEM community of UVMask backers to identify key user needs across various industries, gather their requirements, suggest design improvements, and participate in the product review process.
In just a few short days, we received over 350 applications! This is sooo motivating!
THANK YOU! 😊
We are positive that together we will develop the best in the market product.
If you have not applied yet, hurry up!
The deadline for submitting applications is tomorrow August 5, 2020. We will go over all the applications once the deadline is closed and announce the ERP members on August 7, 2020.
📰 Hot off the press
Getting your product covered by the media is no easy task.
Yet, UVMask’s popularity is growing each day! Our CEO has been in providing interviews with journalists from around the globe, who are interested in technology, science, and production.
We want to share some of this coverage with you (simply hit the button):
“With over $2 million in funding already secured, the UVMask is the kind of Kickstarter that I feel secure in recommending.”
“After smashing its initial $20,000 goal, the Kickstarter campaign still has 28 days to go and is quickly becoming one of Colorado’s most-backed projects ever.”
"You won’t have problems breathing with this mask. Find it hard to breathe with regular masks? This mask is the solution."

Added Force-Air Fan

Throughout the campaign, we have been receiving feedback from our supportive community on the core functionalities of the UVMask. We understand how important it is for you! And we hear you.
