EnviroKlenz recently launched an air purifier featuring a hose design that removes 99.9% of viruses, including COVID-19, and bacteria near a patient’s mouth.
The EnviroKlenz® Source Capture System uses patented earth mineral technology, originally designed for chemical warfare decontamination, in a “directed point of source” system for critical applications, according to a press release. The suction hose directly captures airborne pathogens and droplets that escape from a patient’s mouth during dental procedures, keeping everyone protected while patients are unable to wear masks.
Using three filtration methods, including the patented EnviroKlenz Air Cartridge, HEPA filter and UVC bulbs, and the adjustable hose, dental professionals can manipulate the Source Capture System to draw air from the source point. Adjusting the hose toward the patient’s mouth helps to keep team members safe.
The Source Capture System uses the same filtration technology as other EnviroKlenz Air System models, which is effective in reducing 99.9% of viruses, mold and fungus without releasing anything back into the environment, according to recent testing. The “adsorptive neutralization” process Air Cartridge is effective against toxic odors and chemicals.
The medical-grade HEPA filter captures harmful particulates, microorganisms and more, filtering at a 99.97% efficiency rate. The system also includes UV-C lamps that continuously radiate on the collection-side of the HEPA filter, efficiently killing collected organisms.
When not being used on a patient, the air purifier can be turned into a complete room air purifier.
