ProtectivAIR® has been rigorously tested at Public Health England, Porton Down laboratory, with highly successful results. Tests were done using virus-infected air actually passed through the ProtectivAIR® irradiation chamber and analysed in the PHE laboratory. Tests compared infected air, where the UV light source was switched off, with the same air with the UV switched on, and was also compared against a placebo sample fo pure, uninfected air.
In 100% of cases, the UV light prevented infections from being transmitted, and the level of inactivation on known surrogate pathogens was measured, allowing the dlivered UV dose to be measured and applied to a range of other pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and spores.
