Air purification devices from UK company shown to be ‘99.999% effective’
Genano air purification devices imported and distributed by UK firm KSG Health have been shown to be “99.999% effective” in killing viruses – including Covid-19.
Results from an independent study carried out in Finland by Testing & Research Centre, and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, suggest Genano technology could create safe indoor spaces by eliminating airborne transmission of the virus.
During the test, the air purification device – which was initially developed for use in hospitals – removed almost 90% of Covid-19 from the air in just 15 minutes, and 99.999% within two hours.
According to KSG Health, this could open the door for the technology to be deployed in public places like workspaces, restaurants, shops and other venues – in addition to controlling hospital infections.
Jarmo Kesanto, co-founder and director of KSG Health, said: “We are absolutely delighted with the results of this study.
“Our technology has already been proven in many settings, but to get independent verification that it will kill 99.999% of viruses is so important at this most challenging of times.
“It reinforces the fact that we have a real and immediate solution to those in healthcare, retail, hospitality and in offices who want to operate safely and with confidence. To play our part in making this happen is an honour and privilege.” – NS Medical Devices
