PROTECTIVAIR

Groundbreaking Personal Protective Equipment

With the emergence and rapid spread of Covid-19 Coronavirus, we at Medi-Immune are working to bring our Personal Protective Equipment Device, ProtectivAir®, to the attention of key National and International decision makers, who can complete the development in the shortest possible timescales, so that Health Workers, First Responders and other critical groups, can be better protected during this pandemic.

What is ProtectivAir®

ProtectivAir® is a wearable, filter-free, breathing device that biologically sterilizes inhaled air, providing immediate protection against any airborne pathogen, even mutations.

If a pathogen has not yet been identified, or is a mutation of a known pathogen, ProtectivAir® will still protect. This allows time for the identification and subsequent production of a vaccine.

ProtectivAir® Patented Technology

Within the filter free irradiation chamber, energetic UVc photons pass through the infecting micro-organisms, damaging their nucleic acid (RNA or DNA) which disables their ability to replicate and infect the body.

The use of UVc in disinfection/decontamination is widely accepted and all published data confirms that UVc is an extremely effective germicidal agent.
