Aire~IRMU™ – VOC Removal Testing Data

Independent third-party testing data documenting the volatile organic compound removal performance of the LifeAire Aire~IRMU In-Room Modular Air Purification Unit. The Aire~IRMU delivers LifeAire’s proven multi-stage purification technology — including molecular media VOC neutralization, UV pathogen kill, and HEPA filtration — in a compact, plug-and-play format requiring no HVAC integration. This testing data validates the VOC remediation capability of the Aire~IRMU for facilities and clinical environments where in-duct systems are not practical, including patient rooms, clinic spaces, senior living environments, and IVF laboratories.

Effectiveness of germicidal ultraviolet light to inactivate coronavirus on personal protective equipment to reduce nosocomial transmission

A peer-reviewed laboratory study published in Infection Control and Hospital Epidemiology examining the effectiveness of germicidal ultraviolet light to inactivate human coronaviruses on N95 respirators, supporting safe PPE reuse. Researchers tested two commercially available portable GUV devices — including a LifeAire Systems unit — against three coronaviruses: HCoV-229E, HCoV-OC43, and SARS-CoV-2. GUV treatment achieved average viral titer reductions of 5-log for HCoV-229E, 3-log for HCoV-OC43, and 5-log for SARS-CoV-2 on respirator surfaces. The findings confirm that LifeAire’s GUV technology is effective at decontaminating N95 respirators from human coronaviruses, supporting its potential to reduce nosocomial transmission.
