New Research Confirms HealthWay's Air Purifiers are 99.99% Effective in Killing Common Bacteria and Viruses

HealthWay, an Innovator in Air Purification Solutions for Schools, Commercial and Retail Customers, Leads the Industry in Effectiveness and Efficiency Results

PULASKI, N.Y., Dec. 6, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- HealthWay (or the "Company"), a global leader in air purification solutions for both commercial and residential settings, today released laboratory results showing the Company's high volume air purifiers capture and kill both bacteria and viruses with over 99.99% efficiency. Testing on a variety of pathogens conducted by two separate third-party laboratories this fall corroborated the results.   

"These third-party results prove that not only are HealthWay air purifiers capturing bacteria and viruses, but they're also destroying them at a kill rate of 99.99%, so these germs can't be reintroduced into the environment," said Jeff Pecoroni, CEO at HealthWay. "As employees return to the office, personal and business travel picks up, and urgent care visits rise during the winter months, ensuring a safe, clean air environment is critical. With the log 4 reduction rate demonstrated by these results, HealthWay customers can be confident that their air quality meets the highest standards for a healthy environment."

The third party testing of HealthWay's high velocity Super V air purifiers was conducted by two separate testing laboratories using different testing protocols and methods.¹ The results, which were supplementary, indicated a kill rate of 99.99% for a variety of captured sample bacteria and virus particles, including Staphylococcus epidermidis, a gram-positive bacterium used as a surrogate for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and MS2 ecoliphage, a single stranded RNA virus used as a surrogate for SARS-CoV 2. The Company's in-line Super V air purifiers are installed in HVAC ducts, typically in commercial settings or for whole-home residential installations.

"All air purifying systems are not equally effective, making it critical for building managers to do their research and look at underlying data before investing in or upgrading an HVAC system," said Christian Cobb, VP of Marketing of HealthWay. "This new data further substantiates HeathWay's findings that our products are effective in removing airborne bacteria and viruses. The reduction of these particles is tremendously important – in just the last few years we have all garnered a much better understanding of airborne particles and the negative impact they can have on a work or home environment.
