I don't think you would have a problem .. the UV devices I am familiar with are glass and I would simply do a good washing - maybe a soak in some vinegar. Copper tends to bind to calcium carbonate (live rock, aragonite etc) I suspect any copper precipitation on glass should go away with vinegar and water.
