THE INFINITY® AIR PURIFIER INACTIVATES SELECT VIRUSES AND BACTERIA FROM FILTERED AIR.1
Infinity purifier graphicIf you’re like most people, you’ve been spending a lot more time inside your home lately. Unfortunately, the air inside your home can be more polluted than the air outdoors.2 Dust, pet dander, allergens and airborne pathogens can all recirculate throughout your home, which is why single-room air purifiers can have limited effectiveness. Our Infinity air purifier features patented Captures & Kills® technology that inactivates select airborne pathogens flowing through your HVAC system and captured by the filter, including the coronavirus, bacteria and other pathogens.1

1 The Infinity 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 Infinity 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 Infinity filter to be inactivated at 99%. ↩
