Avon-based iCleanse, which makes docking stations that charge and disinfect electronics, announced that Farmington-based Athena  Health Care Systems will begin using its disinfecting units at 51 nursing homes in the Northeast.

Athena will begin using iCleanse's main product, Swift. Users place electronics like phones, tablets and medical equipment into the Swift device, which uses UV-C rays to eliminate bacteria on them. It comes in multiple sizes (Swift, Swift Mini, Swift XL, Swift 5X). A typical model resembles a toaster oven-like cabinet that can bathe cell phones, tablets and other objects in germ-killing ultraviolet light.

Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

“The iCleanse  units have been well-received  and greatly appreciated by the teams at our centers,”  said Larry  Santilli, Athena Health Care Systems' president, and CEO.

The Avon-based startup iCleanse is the latest company helmed by Chris Allen, who founded smart home technology company iDevices, which develops and sells smart switches, plugs, sockets, outlets, thermostats and other devices. In 2017 Allen sold the company to Shelton-based Hubbell Inc. for more than $100 million.
