The authorities of the GWMC have urged the sanitation worker and others to make use of this facility to sanitise face masks including the N-95 masks, medical equipment, face shields, goggles, PPE kits, labcoats/vests, textiles, wallets, and others.

It is said that the multi-stage disinfection process with advanced oxidation, corona discharge, and UVC light spectrum inactivates the virus, bacteria, and other microbes on N95 masks/PPE/coats, etc., had more than 99.999% efficiency (Tested by Department of Bio-sciences& Bio-engineering, IIT Bombay).

VAJRA Kavach uses advanced oxidation, electrostatic discharge, and UVC light spectrum to inactivate the viruses, bacteria, and other microbial strains present on the PPE. This saves costs by making the PPE, medical, and nonmedical gear reusable. The system was set up under the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) by the INDRA Water. ASCI representatives Raja Mohan Reddy and other officials were present at the inauguration of the machine.
