PetriMed CA APS 400 facilitates one of the finest air cleanings in the world, which is 99.999%. Additional airborne infectious agent killing and multiple air cleaning technologies amalgamation makes it the most subtle air purification system.    

Yes almost. The most concerned indoor air pollutants are PM_2.5, PM₁₀, TVOC allergen, microbes, animal and human dander, infectious droplets, and gaseous pollutants SO₂, NO₂

Yes. The system has various known powerful antimicrobial agents like UVC, and bipolar ionization,  which destroy all entrapped microbes as well as nearby suspended airborne, during filtration.

Yes, it may reduce the indoor airborne infectious agents significantly.

By entrapping in a vigorous HEPA -14 filter, and further exposing to inside UVC and bipolar ionization.

Undoubtedly, UVC is germicidal that could be harmful to all microbes and living things when applied with a specific dose directly to the object, which usually does not come in direct contact with occupants. Further, PetriMed CA APS complies with UVC safety guidelines. Yet, no outside emissions were observed. So it is quite safe for occupants and pets.

Yes, it can help by reducing airborne microbial quantities  (CFU) in the air.

Activated carbon and catalyst filters adsorb and breakdown the harmful gasses and  smoke.

it’s lower the bad smells due to TVOC like newly painted objects, new furniture, varnish,  unwanted fresheners-perfumes etc.

Though CO₂ has not been considered a conventional air pollutant so far. But rather a greenhouse gas.  CO₂ removal basically depends on ventilation. In poor ventilation, no air purifier can reduce the CO₂ level.  However, in the presence of appropriate ventilation,  PetriMed CA APS can help to decrease abnormal  CO₂ levels fastly.

HEPA filters are one of the finest filters in the world. Their efficacy is determined by grade, like HEPA 13 (99.97%) and HEPA 14 (99.99%). Most of the air purifiers rely on the common HEPA 13 due to cost-cutting. PetriMed CA APS motive is to ensure the finest filtration to deliver not only the safest but also the healthiest and contamination-free air. Therefore, we do not rely on only one or two types of filtration. PetriMed CA APS is made of an eight-step air treatment process (Pre-filter-Nanosilver antibacterial layer-activated carbon filter-nano-molecular sieve-exclusive ionic catalytic coating-HEPA filter 14, UV-C-Ioniser), multiple treatment steps are abate fastidious pollutants like  airborne viruses, fungal and bacterial spores, certain gasses and VOCs  which is usually not remove by ordinarily purifiers.

HEPA filter grade 14 is known as the most efficient grade of HEPA. Since airborne viral droplets are one of the smallest microbial entities, in the case of immune-compromised, allergic patients, HEPA -14 definitely offers more powerful filtration than ordinary HEPA.

HEPA filter grade 14 is known as the most efficient grade of HEPA. Since airborne viral droplets are one of the smallest microbial entities, in the case of immune-compromised, allergic patients, HEPA -14 definitely offers more powerful filtration than ordinary HEPA.

Beyond anti-pollutant effects, several research shows air ion positive health effect like mood enhancing and stress minimizing.

Mold growth usually depends on unwanted moisture and high humidity, which need to fix for a healthy atmosphere. Once the source is controlled, PetriMed CA APS may help to stop the musty smell and spread of mold spores into the air.

Since outdoor pollution cannot be controlled immediately and individually, moreover, we spend maximum time on indoor activities, so exposure to indoor pollutants is more than outdoor. Numerous studies around the world have already indicated air pollutants’ negative effects on every human organ. The most common ailments are respiratory infections and diseases. Indoor air cleaning could be an effective and immediate intervention to minimize hazardous air pollution.    

Yes, to a great extent. Indoor air cleaning minimizes the risk of various airborne infectious diseases. World’s leading organizations like USEPA have already suggested indoor air cleaning’s importance.

Yes, as usual like many other electronic devices. 

Yes, it is. It is designed to provide a highly safe atmosphere.  PetriMEd CA APS complies with and follows national and international safety guidelines.

A display is provided to show the real-time concentrations of air pollutants. The  APS start working immediately just after it switched on and indoor air pollutant levels decreased gradually. However, sometime display sensors may influenced by other atmospheric factors like temperature, and relative humidity, which might be slower than actual conditions in some cases, so do not panic when they fluctuate unusually.

Not at all.

Not at all. No exposure to occupants. The UVC emission is in the recommended safe range to kill contaminants. The UVC source and emission range are confined to the inside object. It is quite safe to use.

It can be reduced as APS 400 has activated carbon filters and a catalyst layer. But if the source of the bad smell persisted, needs to be fixed for permanent relief.

The multistory, 8 steps of air cleaning filtration ensures the cleanest and contamination-free,pure air like in the forest and the Himalayas.
