warns that Severe Acute
Respiratory Syndrome, or
SARS, is a new global threat”

– What it Does:

• Medixair:

– Kills 99.999%* of Airborne Pathogens

– Proven Performance Protects People

*See Website www.medicaire.com for further details


– How it Works?

1. UV-C: Proven to sterilise the air


2. UV-C Lamp Configuration
• 4 UV-C tubes to ensure the irradiation generated
kills even the most resistant airborne pathogens

3. Controlled air speed


• Ensuring that pathogens are subject to high
irradiation for a long time-period

4. Subjecting dangerous pathogens to the highest possible


UV-C Irradiation Dose
• This results in the once deadly pathogen, becoming
harmless
Airborne Diseases Spread Quickly:
• Test by Penn State University:
– A highly infective TB patient
– Placed on the 1st floor of an average 10 storey
building (with HVAC air distribution)

• Results:
– After 8 hours: a person on the 10th floor would
have accumulated enough total exposure to have
achieved a 33% risk of contracting tuberculosis
– Clearly the possibility of contracting a disease in
a typical office building exists
Kill Rates…

Result: Kills 99.999%* of micro-organisms

Kill Rates…

Result: A 59% reduction in the bio-burden (even when challenged


from a higher external input load)

Severe Acute Respiratory
Syndrome (SARS)
• It is a potential fatal disease that is being spread around
the world by air travel -
• Coronavirus is believed to be the chief cause
(US data CDC)
• One of the pathogens that cause the common cold
– Particle size: 0.11 microns small enough to be airborne

• Spread through coughing and sneezing


– Pathogens are projected and become airborne

• The disease is spreading at “Breakneck speed” (WHO)


– Confirmed Cases Rising Daily; and
– Mortality rates are at high
The Risks are Global
• World Health Organisation has recommended no-one
travel to certain regions:
• This recommendation will be for more than one region
and continent
• People everywhere are at risk and changing their plans
CNN Poll: Would the warning from the World Health
Organization make you change your travel
plans?

• People are being ordered to remain at home in quarantine:


– One city state has ordered people believed at risk from SARS
to stay home for 10 days or face fines”

• Dr. Carlo Urbani, an expert on communicable


diseases, has died SARS.
• The disease spreads at “breakneck speed” (WHO)
