This blog is aimed at providing a deeper understanding of improved air quality and how VIRUSKILLER™ air purifiers<\/a> work, by answering the 10 most frequently asked questions we have received regarding the VIRUSKILLER™ range of air purifiers<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve written previously about the benefits of providing clean air in offices<\/a>, but for those of you who want a deeper understanding of how the VIRUSKILLER™ range of air purifiers work, we thought we would share the 10 questions we get asked most often about the VIRUSKILLER™ and its efficacy against COVID-19 and other airborne viruses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. What makes VIRUSKILLER™ different from ordinary air purifiers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Conventional air purifiers are primarily focused on air filtration, which is the removal of particulate matter and allergens from the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VIRUSKILLER™ takes this one step further by implementing world-class filtration and gas neutralization in conjunction with state-of-the-art active virus decontamination.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bioaerosols and viral pathogens that can pass through traditional filters are deactivated in the VIRUSKILLER’s patented, high power UV-C Reactor Chamber. Clean, hygienic air is achieved in a single air pass.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Is VIRUSKILLER™ technology effective against COVID-19?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The VK 401 underwent an independent and rigorous set of bioaerosol tests under strict laboratory conditions against 16 pathogens including SARS-Cov-2 (COVID-19).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The test results show that none of the 16 pathogens tested was present after passing through the VK 401 unit.<\/strong> The successful test results again confirm the effectiveness of the patented Reactor Chamber in removing airborne pathogens such as COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Do VIRUSKILLER™ air purifiers reduce airborne allergens?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, they do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The premium HEPA filters in VIRUSKILLER™ prevent the spread of pollen, pet dander, and other particulates, helping to alleviate allergy symptoms caused by common airborne allergens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Do VIRUSKILLER™ air purifiers eliminate toxic gases and odours?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes again. VIRUSKILLER™ effectively neutralizes harmful gases and VOCs while assisting in the speedy removal of unpleasant odours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Has the VIRUSKILLER™ technology been independently tested?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes. VIRUSKILLER™ air purification technology has been extensively tested by independent organizations and laboratories, government bodies, and engineering institutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. What safety accreditations does VIRUSKILLER™ have?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VIRUSKILLER™ air purifiers have been tested and certified by a range of internationally recognised safety and compliance bodies, including Conformit\u00e9 Europ\u00e9enne (CE), the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), the Canadian Standards Association (CSA), Korea Certification (KC), and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) certification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"VIRUSKILLER<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

7. Does VIRUSKILLER™ technology release ozone as a by-product?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ozone generation is well regulated within UV-C applications and VIRUSKILLER™ is no exception. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The VIRUSKILLER™ air purifiers have been tested for ozone emission and are certified to fall well within the recommended safe levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

8. Is it safe to be around the VIRUSKILLER™ units while they are running?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VIRUSKILLER™ units are entirely safe to be around while running, and we highly recommend they are used while rooms are occupied. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because the air produced is filtered, neutralized, and decontaminated, it is entirely safe for breathing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

9. Are the UV-C lights safe?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Yes, the high-quality UV-C lamps are safely enclosed in the Reactor Chamber and tested for excessive UV leakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How loud are the air purifiers?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

VIRUSKILLER™ air purifiers have been manufactured to be as quiet as possible – while still ensuring maximum airflow. This means that the devices produce a similar sound and volume to a typical air conditioning system or fan. Noise level ranges are detailed in the unit specification sheets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
