2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not explicitly state the numerical sample sizes (e.g., number of test runs or replicates) for the validation studies. It describes the methodology:
- Room Air Reduction Study: "Six microorganism species were aerosolized in a sealed bioaerosol chamber containing the subject device. Bioaerosol samples were taken at multiple time points throughout each trial..."
- In vitro Kill Rate Kinetics: "Samples of the subject device's photocatalytic coated filter media were tested against six aerosolized microorganisms. The samples were tested at three different temperatures." "The trials were carried out to quantify at least a 4.0 log reduction."
The data provenance is not specified in terms of country of origin. The studies appear to be prospective as they involved testing the physical device and its components under controlled laboratory conditions to demonstrate performance.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications
This information is not provided in the document. The "ground truth" for this medical device is established through quantitative laboratory measurements of microorganism reduction, not through expert consensus or interpretation of medical images. Therefore, the concept of "experts establishing ground truth" in the typical sense of a clinical or imaging study is not directly applicable here. The credibility of the results relies on standard microbiology and biodefense testing protocols, and the expertise of the laboratory personnel conducting these tests.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is not applicable as the studies are laboratory-based performance tests, not studies involving human interpretation or adjudication of results in a clinical context. The results are quantitative measurements of microbial reduction.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study
A MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for AI devices that assist human readers (e.g., radiologists interpreting images). The ViroZap™ is an air purification device, and its performance is evaluated by its physical ability to destroy microorganisms, not by assisting human decision-making.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only) Performance
This concept is not applicable to this device. The ViroZap™ is a physical medical device (an air purifier) that works mechanically and photochemically, not an algorithm or software-only device. Its performance is inherently "standalone" in the sense that its efficacy stems from its own physical operation, without human-in-the-loop performance in its primary function of air purification.
7. Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth used is based on quantitative microbiological laboratory assays. This involves measuring the reduction of specific microorganism concentrations (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Klebsiella aerogenes, MS2 bacteriophage, Phi-X174 bacteriophage, Aspergillus brasiliensis mold spores, and Bacillus subtilis endospores) after exposure to the device or its components under controlled conditions. The "log reduction" values represent the quantitative proof of the device's efficacy.
8. Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is not applicable. The ViroZap™ is a physical device, not an AI/ML algorithm that requires a "training set" of data. Its design and physical properties (e.g., UV-A lamps, catalytic filter) are engineered to achieve the desired microbial destruction.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is not applicable as there is no "training set" for a physical device like the ViroZap™. The device's performance is demonstrated through its functional capabilities, measured in the non-clinical testing.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the sample size for the test set in terms of the number of individual devices tested or the number of replicates for each microbiological test. The provenance of the data is not explicitly stated in terms of country of origin or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective, beyond "Internal Standards" for microorganism performance. These are non-clinical laboratory tests.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth and Qualifications of Experts
This document describes non-clinical performance testing of a physical device (air purifier) for its ability to filter and destroy microorganisms and to meet safety standards. It does not involve interpretation of medical images or diagnostic outputs that would typically require human experts to establish "ground truth" in the context of an AI/human reader study. Therefore, the concepts of "number of experts" and "qualifications of those experts" are not applicable to the studies described.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are relevant for studies involving human interpretation or subjective assessments, typically in diagnostic or imaging contexts. Since the described studies are non-clinical laboratory performance tests (e.g., measuring log reduction of microorganisms, filter efficiency, electrical safety), adjudication methods are not applicable.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study was Done
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is typically performed for AI-assisted diagnostic devices where the AI's impact on human reader performance is evaluated. The AirKEE T900 is an air purification device, and its performance is assessed through laboratory-based efficacy and safety tests, not through human reader interpretation of data or images.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) was Done
Yes, the studies described are essentially "standalone" performance evaluations of the device itself, without human-in-the-loop interaction in the context of a diagnostic or interpretive task. The performance metrics (e.g., log reduction of microorganisms, filter efficiency, ozone levels) are direct measurements of the device's function.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the performance evaluations is established through:
- Quantitative Microbiological Assays: For microorganism performance, the "ground truth" is the measured reduction in viable microorganisms (bacteria, mold, viruses) under specific test conditions. This is an objective, laboratory-derived measurement.
- Physical Measurements and Engineering Standards: For fractional efficiency, electrical safety, and ozone release, the "ground truth" is defined by adherence to established industry standards (IEST-RP-CC001.6, UL 507, IEC 60601-1-2, UL 867) and direct physical measurements confirming compliance.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This document details non-clinical performance and safety testing of a manufactured device, not a machine learning or artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm. Therefore, the concept of a "training set sample size" is not applicable, as there is no AI model being trained.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set was Established
As noted above, this pertains to a physical medical device, not an AI model. Therefore, the concept of a "training set" and "established ground truth for the training set" is not relevant to this submission. The device's performance is based on its physical and functional design, which is validated through the non-clinical tests described.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the specific sample size for each microorganism performance test (e.g., how many runs were performed for each microorganism). However, it does specify that the tests were conducted "in a 20m³ chamber" and "entrained on the filter of the subject device."
The data provenance is not explicitly mentioned as a country of origin. The submitter is "HealKee Medical Pte Ltd" from Singapore, suggesting the testing might have been conducted in Singapore or a location associated with the company's operations. The data appears to be prospective, as it describes tests conducted specifically for the AirKEE P900 device to demonstrate its performance against predefined criteria.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The performance evaluation for microorganism reduction and other non-clinical tests likely relied on established laboratory protocols and standards, rather than expert consensus on individual "cases" in the typical sense of diagnostic imaging. For a medical UV air purifier, the "ground truth" would be the measurable reduction of microorganisms.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set:
This information is not applicable in the context of this device and testing. Adjudication methods like 2+1 or 3+1 are typically used for clinical studies involving reader interpretations (e.g., radiologists reviewing images) to establish a consensus ground truth. For a device like an air purifier, performance is measured quantitatively through laboratory tests.
5. Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study:
An MRMC study was not done. This type of study assesses the performance of human readers, with and without AI assistance, which is not relevant for an air purifier.
6. Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Study:
For the microorganism performance, the study can be considered a standalone performance study of the device (AirKEE P900) operating independently. The device's ability to destroy microorganisms is measured directly in a controlled environment without human intervention during the process itself (though humans operate and set up the device and tests).
7. Type of Ground Truth Used:
The ground truth used for the microorganism performance is quantitative laboratory measurement (direct bacterial/viral/mold count reduction). This involves culturing and counting microorganisms before and after exposure to the device in a controlled chamber, and computing the log reduction.
For fractional efficiency, electrical safety, EMC, and ozone, the ground truth is established by conformance to recognized standards (IEST-RP-CC001.6, UL 507, IEC 60601-1-2, UL 867).
8. Sample Size for the Training Set:
This information is not applicable. The AirKEE P900 is an electromechanical device with filtration and UV-C technology, not an AI/ML-driven diagnostic or analytical tool that requires a "training set" of data in the typical sense for algorithm development. Its performance is based on its physical design and operation, which are then tested for efficacy.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established:
This information is not applicable, as there is no "training set" for this type of device. The device's design principles and expected performance are based on established scientific principles of filtration, UV-C radiation, and photocatalysis. The validation occurred through the non-clinical tests described.

Airgle Room Air Purificr is an air purification device that employs an ultraviolet air purification technology to inactivate viral aerosols. It is a free-standing device, which has a sealed main housing including a Carbon filter, a cHEPA filter and Titanium Pro (UV-C) module. Model AG300 use a 2-in-1 filter which combine the Carbon filter and cHEPA filter.
The operation of the device is as follows:
- Room air is drawn into the device via the rear grill.
- The process begins when air moves through the Carbon filter, which captures the large particles
- Next, the air moves through the cHEPA filter, which captures a particle size greater than 0.3 microns. The filter is an ultra-high performance cHEPA filter, which filters respirable particulate matter with an efficiency reaching 99.3% at least.
- Then the air moves through the Titanium Pro® module, where viral organisms are inactivated by UV-C light.
- Purified air is then returned to the room via the front grill.

The Synexis Sphere Rx is a stand-alone air purifier device intended for medical purposes and is used for the reduction of bacteria and viruses in the air. The device is intended for use in professional healthcare environments. The Sphere Rx is not intended for use near HF surgical equipment or MRI settings.
The Synexis Sphere Rx air purifier demonstrated a ≥ 4 log reduction of bacteria and viruses under the following exposure/ working conditions:
Organism Type | Organism Name | Test Temp/RH | Avg Net Log Reduction/Time@ High Fan Speed |
---|---|---|---|
Gram- bacteria | K. aerogenes | 25±3 deg C, 60 ±5% RH | 4.25 / 240m |
Gram+ bacteria | S. epidermidis | 25±3 deg C, 60 ±5% RH | 4.19 / 360m |
Virus | MS2 | 25±3 deg C, 60 ±5% RH | 4.55 / 300m |
Organism Type | Organism Name | Test Temp/RH | Avg Net Log Reduction/Time@ Low Fan Speed |
Gram- bacteria | K. aerogenes | 25±3 deg C, 60 ±5% RH | 4.25 / 240m |
Gram+ bacteria | S. epidermidis | 25±3 deg C, 60 ±5% RH | 4.13 / 480m |
Virus | MS2 | 25±3 deg C, 60 ±5% RH | 4.11 / 480m |
The Synexis Sphere Rx is a photocatalytic air purifier that utilizes a photocatalytic oxidation purification process involving a light-activated catalyst which reacts with organic pollutants to oxidize them. The Sphere Rx draws ambient air through multiple filters including a carbon filter, a MERV filter and a photocatalytic filter that Synexis refers to as a 'Sail'.
When the ambient air containing oxygen and water molecules contacts the photocatalytic filter exposed to UV light, a chemical reaction is initiated inside the device that generates hydroxyl radicals, super oxides and hydrogen peroxides. Synexis refers to the hydrogen peroxide molecules as dry hydrogen peroxide or DHP to distinguish these molecules from the aqueous form of hydrogen peroxide.
The mechanism of action for the Sphere Rx photocatalytic air purifier to reduce microorganisms, including bacteria and viruses, in the air for small room environments relies on combination of capture and destruction. Ambient air is continuously circulated through MERV and carbon filters and a photocatalytic medium under UV light exposure inside the device to achieve a 4 log reduction.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The document does not specify the exact sample sizes used for the kill kinetics, air composition, electrical safety, or EMC compatibility tests. It mentions that "Non-clinical device performance testing was conducted on the subject Synexis Sphere Rx device to assess the performance and safety of the device."
The data provenance is from non-clinical device performance testing conducted by Synexis LLC and reported to the FDA. The country of origin for the data is not explicitly stated, but given that Synexis LLC is based in Lenexa, Kansas, USA, and the submission is to the U.S. FDA, it is likely that the testing was conducted in the USA. The data is prospective as it involves the testing of the Synexis Sphere Rx device itself to determine its performance characteristics.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish the Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
This information is Not Applicable as the Synexis Sphere Rx is an air purifier, and its performance (microbial reduction, air emissions, electrical safety) is determined by laboratory testing and adherence to engineering standards, not by expert interpretation of medical images or clinical data. "Ground truth" in this context refers to the measured performance against established scientific benchmarks and regulatory standards.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
This information is Not Applicable. Adjudication methods (e.g., 2+1, 3+1) are typically used in studies involving human readers or expert consensus to resolve discrepancies in interpretations, such as in image-based diagnostic studies. The tests conducted for the Synexis Sphere Rx were objective, quantitative measurements in a laboratory setting.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done, If So, What Was the Effect Size of How Much Human Readers Improve with AI vs without AI Assistance
This information is Not Applicable. This device is an air purifier, not an AI-assisted diagnostic tool. Therefore, MRMC studies involving human readers and AI assistance are not relevant.
6. If a Standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) Was Done
This information is Not Applicable in the context of an "algorithm only" performance, as this is a physical device, not a software algorithm for data analysis. However, the performance testing described in the document is effectively a "standalone performance" of the device itself, without human intervention aside from operating the device during the tests. The results show the intrinsic capability of the Synexis Sphere Rx to reduce airborne microbes and maintain safe emissions under specific conditions.
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The "ground truth" used for the performance evaluation of the Synexis Sphere Rx is based on:
- Quantitative Laboratory Measurements: For microbial reduction, the ground truth is the measured log reduction of specific organisms (K. aerogenes, S. epidermidis, MS2 bacteriophage) under controlled environmental conditions (temperature, humidity, fan speed).
- Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) and Regulatory Standards: For air composition, the ground truth is defined by established safety limits for various gaseous species (e.g., Tox Risk Assessment, UL 867, NIOSH, EC Joint Research Report 19).
- Engineering Standards: For electrical safety and EMC compatibility, the ground truth is defined by compliance with recognized industrial standards such as UL 507:2017 and IEC 60601-1-2:2014.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
This information is Not Applicable. The Synexis Sphere Rx is a physical air purifier, not an AI model that requires a "training set" for machine learning.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
This information is Not Applicable for the same reason as point 8.

Here's the detailed breakdown of the acceptance criteria and the study that proves the device meets them:
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

UV Lamp Shelf Life | 12,000 hrs. of continuous operation | Compliant / Pass: 12,000 hrs. of continuous operation |
Pre-filter Shelf Life | 3 months of continuous operation | Compliant / Pass: 3 months of continuous operation |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
The document does not explicitly state the specific sample sizes (number of tests) for each microbial reduction, filtration efficiency, or shelf-life test. However, the tests against bacteria and viruses were conducted by "LMS Technologies" to assess reduction capabilities in the air of a test chamber. The origin of the data is not specified beyond being generated by "LMS Technologies," implying a laboratory setting. These tests are inherently retrospective as they are conducted on a completed device to assess its performance against predefined criteria.
Specifically, for the RGS model:
- Staphylococcus Epidermidis: Log reduction of 4.0 PFU/ft^3
- Bacteriophage MS2: Log reduction of 4.02 PFU/ft^3
- Escherichia Coli: Log reduction of 4.24 PFU/ft^3
For the RGS mini model:
- Staphylococcus Epidermidis: Log reduction of 4.04 PFU/ft^3
- Bacteriophage MS2: Log reduction of 4 PFU/ft^3
- Escherichia Coli: Log reduction of 4.0 PFU/ft^3
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
This information is not provided in the document. The "ground truth" for the performance tests relies on the results obtained by "LMS Technologies," which are standard microbiological and engineering testing methods. Expert consensus for determining the "ground truth" for microbial reduction or filtration efficiency is typically not applicable in this context; instead, it is based on quantitative laboratory measurements compared against defined log reduction targets.
4. Adjudication method for the test set:
Not applicable. The tests involve objective quantitative measurements (e.g., log reduction, hours of operation). There is no mention of an adjudication process for these test results, as they are typically direct measurements against predetermined performance targets.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done:
No, an MRMC comparative effectiveness study was not done. This type of study is relevant for diagnostic devices or AI algorithms that involve human interpretation, which is not the case for an air purifier.
6. If a standalone (i.e., algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
The device is an air purifier and does not involve an algorithm or human-in-the-loop performance in the conventional sense of a medical diagnostic or AI device. The performance tests are for the device's physical and functional capabilities in reducing airborne microbes and filtering particles.
7. The type of ground truth used:
The ground truth for the performance tests is derived from quantitative laboratory measurements of microbial reduction and filtration efficiency, and direct functional testing for electrical safety and shelf life. For example, for bacteria and virus reduction, the "ground truth" is the measured log reduction achieved in a controlled test chamber, compared against the acceptance criterion of a "Log 4 reduction."
8. The sample size for the training set:
Not applicable. This device is a physical air purifier, not an AI/ML-based device that requires a training set.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
Not applicable, as there is no training set for this device.

Pūrgo™ is a combination UV and air filtration device, equipped with UV-C LEDs and a True HEPA filter intended for the reduction of bacteria, virus, fungal spores, and particles in air for use in medical facilities and other indoor spaces. Pūrgo™ is non-sterile.
Pūrgo™ has been demonstrated to remove the following organisms under the following exposure conditions:
| Organism | Name | Avg. max log reduction / exposure
time (min) |
|-----------------|-----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------|
| Gram + Bacteria | Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus
epidermidis | 4.6 (45) at normal speed |
| Gram + Bacteria | Bacillus globigii endospore | 4.1 (60) at normal speed |
| Gram - Bacteria | Escherichia coli | 5.4 (45) at normal speed |
| RNA Virus | MS2 bacteriophage | 5.4 (60) at normal speed |
| RNA Virus | SARS-CoV-2 | 4.2 (60) at normal speed |
| DNA Virus | Phi-X174 bacteriophage | 4.4 (45) at normal speed |
| Fungal Spore | Aspergillus brasiliensis spore | 4.3 (90) at normal speed |
Pūrgo™ is a free-standing air disinfection system employing two technologies for purifying air: HEPA filtration and UV-C light irradiation, removing or destroying bacteria and viruses in air. Pūrgo™ may be used in medical facilities and commercial home healthcare environments. Pūrgo™'s main components consist of:
- LED UV-C lamps that generate irradiation to destroy microorganisms that are not . filtered;
- . a proprietary SteriDuct chamber that intensifies the UV-C light to destroy microbiological material:
- a filtration system with pre-filter, activated carbon filter, and HEPA filter; .
- . a motor / impeller to move air through the filtration system;
- . sensors to monitor UV irradiance and airflow:
- . an electronic control system to power and control the device; and
- . a touch panel interface equipped with LEDs to indicate the working status of the device.
Pūrgo™ has several built-in safety features that will prevent operation of the filter cartridge is not in place or if the filter door is not closed. The unit also incorporates UV and airflow sensors that provide warnings to the user if the device is not performing as designed to purify air.
Pūrgo™ pulls air through a filter cartridge and then passes the filtered air through a chamber containing UV-C light to neutralize remaining airborne microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, and funqi). The filter cartridge contains a series of three filters, the first of which is a pre-filter that removes physically large particulate matter (such as dust) and protects the finer particle filters downstream. This is followed by an Activated Carbon filter. Finally, a HEPA (highefficiency particulate air) filter that removes 99.995% of the remaining airborne particles above a particle size of 0.1 µm.
Any microbes that still manage to make it through the filters, pass through the SteriDuct chamber where they are subjected to Ultraviolet Radiation at 265 nm (UV-C). UV radiation at this wavelength is particularly effective at destroying microbes. UV-C irradiation has been shown to damage the microbe's RNA and DNA genetic materials sufficiently to prevent the microbe's ability to reproduce.
After passing through the filtration and SteriDuct UV-C chamber, the purified air then exits back into the room. The exit air does not destroy laminar air flow in a typical operating room environment.
This document describes the acceptance criteria and the study proving the device meets these criteria for the Purgo™ UV and air filtration device.

2. Sample Size Used for the Test Set and Data Provenance
The provided text details the performance testing for the Purgo™ device, specifically for its aerosolized biological reduction capabilities, filtration efficiency, UV intensity, and other safety/performance metrics.
-
Microorganism Performance Testing: The testing was performed on the Purgo™ device. For each microorganism, the "Avg. max log reduction / exposure time" is reported, implying multiple runs or sufficient measures to establish an "average maximum log reduction." The exact sample size (number of devices tested or number of repetitions per test) is not explicitly stated as a numerical count (e.g., "n=X devices"). The data provenance is internal testing ("Internal Standards"). The document does not specify the country of origin of the data, nor whether it was retrospective or prospective. It is implied to be a prospective laboratory study for device validation.
-
Other Tests (Fractional Efficiency, UV Intensity, Ozone, Airflow, Electrical Safety, EMC, Software Validation): These tests were conducted on the Purgo™ device. Similar to microorganism performance, the exact sample size (number of devices/filters tested) is not explicitly stated. These also appear to be prospective laboratory studies conducted by the manufacturer or a contracted testing facility.
3. Number of Experts Used to Establish Ground Truth for the Test Set and Qualifications of Those Experts
The document describes performance testing of a physical device against biological agents and engineering standards. It does not involve interpretation of medical images or patient data that would typically require expert radiologists or other clinical experts for ground truth establishment.
- Microorganism Performance: The "ground truth" for the efficacy data points (log reduction) is established by quantitative laboratory measurements of aerosolized biologicals before and after exposure to the device. This is a direct measurement of the device's performance, not an expert consensus on a medical finding. The qualifications of the personnel conducting these highly specialized microbiological and engineering tests are not provided in this document.
4. Adjudication Method for the Test Set
Not applicable. This is not a study requiring human adjudication of data points (e.g., radiological reads). The results are direct measurements from laboratory and engineering tests.
5. If a Multi-Reader Multi-Case (MRMC) Comparative Effectiveness Study Was Done
No. An MRMC comparative effectiveness study is typically relevant for AI/CADe systems that assist human readers in interpreting medical images. This document describes the performance of an air purification device, which does not involve human readers interpreting cases. Therefore, there is no mention of human readers improving with AI assistance.
6. If a Standalone (Algorithm Only Without Human-in-the-Loop Performance) Was Done
Yes, in the sense that the device's performance (purification of air) is evaluated independently without human intervention during its operation. The performance metrics (log reduction, filtration efficiency, etc.) describe the device's inherent capabilities. This is a standalone device performance study, not a standalone algorithm study (as it's not an AI/software-only device).
7. The Type of Ground Truth Used
The ground truth for the performance testing is based on:
- Quantitative Laboratory Measurements: For microorganism reduction, validated laboratory methods were used to quantify the reduction in viable biological agents.
- Established Engineering Standards and Test Methods: For aspects like fractional efficiency, UV intensity, ozone emissions, electrical safety, EMC, and airflow performance, the device was tested against recognized industry and regulatory standards (e.g., IEST-RP-CC001.6, ACGIH, UL 867, UL ECVP 2998, IEC 60601 series). Compliance with these standards serves as the ground truth for these parameters.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis: For laminar airflow evaluation, CFD was used to model and predict the device's impact on airflow, which is a form of simulated "ground truth" based on physics.
8. The Sample Size for the Training Set
Not applicable. This device is a physical air purification system and does not employ machine learning or AI algorithms that would require a "training set" of data in the typical sense (e.g., for image recognition, natural language processing). Its design and performance are based on established engineering principles of UV germicidal irradiation and HEPA filtration.
9. How the Ground Truth for the Training Set Was Established
Not applicable, as there is no training set for an AI/ML algorithm. The device's efficacy is based on its physical and mechanical design and the known properties of UV-C light and HEPA filtration.

The Storm inactivates and eliminates bacteria and viruses in the Aura Storm may be used for medical purposes which can include hospitals, medical facilities, medical clinics, nursing facilities, and dental facilities. The Aura Storm is a standalone device that is controlled via buttons on the top of the unit.
The Aura Storm is a dual-sided system with each side consisting of four-stage is a prefilter. The second stage is a HEPA H13+ filter. The third stage is a TiO2 cold photo-catalyst filter. Finally, the UV-C sterilization lamp emits a 253.7mm designed to activate the photo-catalyst filter and eliminate bacteria and viruses. The anion generator is used strictly to increase the size of the particulate molecules to increase the ability to capture and eliminate the bacteria and viruses. This designed system delivers a third-party tested 99.99% (4-log) sterilization in 60 minutes at the highest fan speed. The Aura storm was also tested at the lowest fan speed and delivered a 99.99% (4-log) sterilization in 120 minutes. The air flow diagram has been submitted in the 510(k) submission.
There is an internal fan which draws in air from both sides of the unit, filters it through the multi-stage system and outputs the filtered air through the top of the unit features a capacitive touch button control to operate the On/Off, fan speed (4 speeds), Auto mode, UV lamp, Anion generator, Child lock, timer, and filter reset. There is also a particulate matter sensor and color bar to indicate the level of clean air.
The Invictus Aura Storm Air Purifier (K212644) has been tested for its ability to reduce bacteria and inactivate viruses, and for its filtration efficiency.

The Bluezone Model RX-450 is an air purification device that uses germicidal UV bulbs to inactivate viral, bacterial or fungal aerosols. The operation of the device is as follows: ambient air containing microbial aerosols is drawn into the air purifier through a prefilter and two angled aluminum honeycomb light baffles. The infective aerosols in the air are then exposed to high intensity, germicidal, ultraviolet light where the contaminants receive a UV dose of at least 10 mW*second/cm². The bacterial, fungal and viral aerosols are inactivated through the breakdown of the microbial DNA or RNA. The cleaned air is exhausted back into the room from the Bluezone Model RX-450 through an axial fan.
