Vystar Contracts Partners for Production of Rx3000 UV Light Air Purifiers that Inactivate Airborne Viruses - Seite 2

Designed by biomedical engineers, Rx3000 combines patented ViraTech germicidal UV-C light with a patented five-stage HEPA filtration to provide UV-C germicidal irradiation (UVGI). Rx3000 has been proven in independent EPA- and FDA-certified laboratory testing to inactivate on first pass more than 99.97% of airborne viruses, bacteria and other contaminants, including those that cause pneumonia, influenza, MRSA (staph), streptococcus (whooping cough), tuberculosis (TB), measles and a myriad of other antibiotic-resistant and viral infections. ^{6, 7, 8} 

UV Light Treatment of Coronavirus (COVID-19) - The CDC has long stated that UVGI is effective in reducing the transmission of airborne bacterial and viral infections in hospitals, military housing, and classrooms⁹. The CDC in April 2020 stated that UVGI is one of the most promising methods for decontamination of filtering facepiece respirators (FFR) for Coronavirus (SARS CoV-2), the virus that causes COVID-19. ¹ The CDC report and a study titled “2020 COVID-19 Coronavirus Ultraviolet Susceptibility note SARS CoV-2 may be inactivated by high doses of UV-C light, similar to the 99.9%-99.999% inactivation rate of UVGI on other viruses such as Influenza A (H1N1), Avian influenza A virus (H5N1), Influenza A (H7N9) A/Anhui/1/2013, Influenza A (H7N9) A/Shanghai/1/2013, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2. ^{9, 10} Rx3000 uses the UVGI technology detailed in the CDC reports. Laboratory tests previously conducted with Rx3000 have successfully inactivated Coronavirus SARS CoV-2 surrogates.

“Rx3000 can play a critical role in reducing exposure to dangerous airborne virus droplets,” said Bryan Stone, MD, Internal Medicine and Nephrology, Chief of Medicine Emeritus for Desert Regional Medical Center, and expert consultant for medical application and technology development. “A growing body of evidence shows that COVID-19 is transmitted primarily via airborne droplets, similar to influenza and pneumonia transmission. Therefore, prevention should focus on reducing airborne exposure. The best way to prevent airborne infection indoors is through wearing face masks, social distancing and using Rx3000, which combines powerful UV dosage and HEPA filtration that is proven to inactivate and/or kill 99.9% of airborne viruses and bacteria including multiple coronavirus strains, influenza and pneumonia.”
