World-Class safety for both patients and staff
Covid-19 has been devastating for healthcare facilities around the world, reducing capacity and creating daunting backlogs. Protecting patients and staff from both air and surface borne pathogens, including any new threats as they develop, has become an ever more critical need.
Due to prohibitive energy and retrofit costs, healthcare facilities have struggled to improve their infection defences by increasing ventilation and have typically fallen back to employing noisy, large, recirculation 'filters'.
The UK's SAGE committee assessed all types of such filter and concluded that they take hours to achieve a modest reduction in air borne (but not surface borne) pathogens, cannot respond quickly to new sources of infection, and cannot provide a real time person to person infection barrier.

Airora changes all of that. Airora is not a filter, it is a whole-room air and surface cleanser. Airora is 1000+ times more effective than any type of filter and far more effective than improved ventilation. Airora takes only minutes, not hours, to cleanse all the air of harmful pathogens and also cleanses surfaces, removes gaseous pollution and odours, and creates an effective real time person to person infection barrier.
Nothing else comes close!
Airora vs Filters
Based on research by the Government's Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies (SAGE), the reduction in active airborne germs that Airora's technology achieves in minutes, is 1000+ times more effective than that which in-room air filters can typically achieve in hours.
That might seem surprising given that filters often claim reductions of 99.95% or even greater. However, such claims are for the removal of germs between the input and output of the device, not for the removal of pathogens throughout a room.
Why the huge difference between SAGE's conclusions and the claims of filter manufacturers?
The reasons are complex, but basically, as the air in a room is constantly changing, and as by no means all of the air in the room at any one time will have passed through the filter. Consequently, the efficiency of the filter itself has little bearing on the ability of a filter to clean all of the air throughout a room.
As Airora cleanses the air insitu, it has none of the constraints that filters suffer from.
Public Health England measured Airora achieving a 99.9999% reduction in hard to kill airborne MS-2 virus in five minutes!
