Summary of the publication of the peer-reviewed scientific study in the JOURNAL OF INFECTION AND PUBLIC HEALTH on the effectiveness of ActivePure® technology in eliminating Sars-Cov-2 indoor viruses. Peer review reports are a method of quality assurance of a scientific work by independent experts from the same field. Peer review is considered a very important method in today’s scientific community to ensure the quality and publication worthiness of scientific publications.

Permanent removal of viruses, bacteria and fungi with ActivePure®
ActivePure® is a novel technology that uses the appropriate wavelength (240-260 nm) and the phenomenon of photo-oxidation, resulting in the permanent removal of viruses, bacteria and fungi. Two analyzes were carried out here. The first of these was a full environmental biosecurity analysis in a hospital setting. The second was a longitudinal study of 40 patients with confirmed COVID19 and high viral load to evaluate the effectiveness of ActivePure® technology in eliminating indoor airborne SARS-CoV-2.
A significant decrease in the number of bacterial and fungal colony forming units (CFU) was observed in rooms with ActivePure® compared to rooms without ActivePure® (p=0.03 for both). In the second part of the study, 16 out of 40 samples (40%) were positive when ActivePure® technology was missing; whereas these samples were negative when the device was on. The incidence rates (IR) with their Poisson confidence intervals of 95% (CI) were calculated as the number of positive tests with or without detergent, showing an IR difference of 48.5% [CI (15.9-81), p= 0.004]. In addition, the IR ratio was calculated to be 3.3, confirming that ActivePure® reduced the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in patient room air by more than 3-fold, setting the first stone in the fight for prevention put down the spread of SARSCoV-2 indoors.
