If a clean air device draws air and then pushes it back into the breathing zone without completely eradicating viruses, it significantly increases the risk of cross contamination. Other equipment who claim they kill viruses are only able to eradicate them completely after air has passed through them multiple times. We believe that 99.9999%* virus kill rates are irrelevant if the tests are not done in a single air exchange.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Technology &amp; Test Results:(See documents &amp; Manuals section for full certifications)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Test-Results.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" \/><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=62&#038;v=0uf2-gJt7Kk&#038;feature=emb_title\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?time_continue=62&amp;v=0uf2-gJt7Kk&amp;feature=emb_title<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In preparation for reopening our practice invested heavily in all necessary Personal Protective Equipment as well as auxiliary appliances in order to minimize the risk of virus contamination: Radic8 Hextio 99.99999%* kill rate in a single air exchange Two key factors to consider when using technology to reduce\u00a0airborne and droplet virus exposure: Controlled Air Flow &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/4177-2\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Reopening preparation<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1078,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-latest-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1075"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1075\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1078"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1075"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1075"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.smilecareplymouth.co.uk\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1075"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
