Air Washer test results

*1: Test method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 1-cubic-meter test chamber containing airborne viruses. The viruses were collected and their infectious capacity was measured by TCID50 assay. Testing organization: Kitasato Institute Medical Center Hospital, Research Center for Medical Environment.

*2: Testing method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber containing pollen particles and the reduction in the number of pollen particles was evaluated by the enzyme antibody method. Testing organization: Osaka Medical College

*3: Test method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber containing dust mite particles, and the reduction in the number of dust mite particles was evaluated by the enzyme antibody method. Testing organization: Kobe University School of Medicine

*4: Test method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber containing dog and cat dandruff allergens, and the reduction in the number of dandruff allergens was evaluated by the enzyme antibody method (ELISA). Testing organization: Oriental Yeast Co., Ltd.

*5: Testing method: Mold particles were suspended in an approximately 9-cubic-meter test chamber and disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into the chamber. An air sampler was used to evaluate the number of residual airborne mold particles. Testing organization: Japan Food Research Laboratories.

*6: Test method: Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 1-cubic-meter test chamber containing airborne bacteria. An air sampler was used to evaluate the number of residual airborne bacteria. Testing organization: Kitasato Institute Medical Center Hospital, Research Center for Medical Environment.

*7: Test method: Three gases with different odors (acetaldehyde, acetic acid, and ammonia) were released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber and then passed through a disinfectant element. The percentage of residual gas was then measured. Testing organization: SANYO Electric.

*8:Test method: Four gases with different odors (ammonia, acetic acid, trimethylamine and methyl mercaptan) were released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber and then passed through a disinfectant element. The percentage of residual gas was then measured. Testing organization: SANYO Electric.

*9: Note: Dust trapping and deodorizing by the air purifying unit. The unit cannot eliminate the toxins (carbon monoxide, etc.) contained in tobacco smoke. It also cannot completely remove odor-causing substances that are being generated on a constant basis, such as those from building materials, pets, etc.

*10: Test institute: Kitasato Research Center of Environmental Sciences. Disinfectant electrolytic mist was released into a 1-cubic-meter test chamber containing airborne bacteria. With the air purifier operated in normal mode and power mist mode, bacteria were collected periodically and the number of airborne bacteria were evaluated.

*11: Test method: Disinfection of bacteria trapped by the filter. Measured using a film adhesion method. Testing organization: Japan Food Research Laboratories

*12: Testing method: Suppression of dust mite feces and shells trapped by the filter. Measured by the enzyme antibody method (ELISA). Testing organization: Shinshu University, Faculty of Textile Science & Technology

*13: Testing method: Suppression of pollen trapped by the filter. Measured using an electrical induction method. Testing organization: Shinshu University, Faculty of Textile Science & Technology

*14: Testing method: Inactivation of viruses trapped by the filter. Measured using an antiviral test method. Testing organization: Osaka Prefectural Institute of Public Health

*15: Test method: Three gases with different odors (acetaldehyde, acetic acid, and ammonia) were released into a 0.275-cubic-meter test chamber and then passed through a disinfectant element. The percentage of residual gas was then measured. Testing organization: SANYO Electric

*16: Measured using the JEM formaldehyde removal standard test method. Testing organization: SANYO Electric
