INTRODUCTION

Congratulations for selecting the Return Air Purifier for your home
comfort system! As part of a strategy for slowing the spread of infectious
disease in your home, the Return Air Purifier should be considered
essential. Featuring our patented Captures & Kills® technology, the
Return Air Purifier offers proven, third-party tested effectiveness with a
99% inactivation of captured viruses and germs when used as instructed,
1
including:
• Coronavirus
• Common cold surrogate
• Bacteria that causes strep throat
• Human influenza
The Return Air Purifier is a cornerstone of Healthy Home Solutions for
providing healthier, cleaner air in your home.

HOW IT WORKS

The Return Air Purifier provides extremely high filtration performance
while killing captured contaminants, including viruses and bacteria. The
Return Air Purifier treats the entire air-stream through a state of the art,
three-stage process.
• In stage one, the particles are electrically charged by a precision-point
ionization array as they enter the Return Air Purifier.
• In stage two, the charged particles are electrically attracted to the air
purification cartridge.
• In stage three, captured particles are killed by electrical current flow
and ion bombardment.
The Return Air Purifier is Listed to applicable UL Standards and
requirements by Underwriters Laboratories Inc.
1. The air purifier has demonstrated effectiveness against the murine coronavirus, based on
third-party testing (2020) showing a >99% inactivation, which is a virus similar to the
human novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) that causes COVID-19. Therefore, the air
purifier can be expected to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 when used in accordance
with its directions for use. Third-party testing (2012, 2007) also shows ≥99% inactivation
for the type of virus that causes common colds, Streptococcus pyogenes and human
influenza. Airborne particles must flow through your HVAC system and be trapped by the
filter to be inactivated at 99%.
