The expansion of H1N1 (swine influenza)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since March 2009 the A\/H1N1 influenza virus, also known as swine influenza or pig flu, spreads unusually fast. After a local confined onset in Mexico the virus is now widespread on all continents just after a few months. The world health organisation (WHO) decided to raise the pandemic alert to phase 6. This step is done very rarely by the WHO.<\/p>\n

The last time the WHO declared an influenza pandemic is 41 years ago. The risks of the swine influenza are hardly appreciable yet. The virus is new and it will probably modify itself \u2013 it\u2019s possible that the virus becomes very hazard.<\/p>\n

Prevention is the best defence<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just like a variety of respiratory diseases H1N1 is assigned by direct contact from human to human: via airborne infection while coughing and sneezing or because of touching contaminated surfaces. Because there\u2019s still no vaccine against H1N1 prevention is the most effective strategy. Given of the increasing infections a specifically proceeding for stemming the onsets is absolutely necessary. Schools, universities, hospitals and other medical institutions, departments, public transit and wherever a lot of people meet infectious prevention is urgently advised.<\/p>\n

Air purification offers an efficiency, reliably, flexibly and economically solution for infectious prevention. IQAir\u00ae is one of the few air purifiers having the ability to remove airborne particles \u2265 0.3\u03bcm with the necessary efficiency of more than 99.97 %. This study, implemented by the national electrical and mechanical services department (EMSD) on behalf of the Hong Kong hospital authority (HKHA) in 2003, should find an effective solution for containment of the \u201csevere acute respiratory syndrome, also known as SARS. Since then IQAir\u00ae takes an important part in the fight against SARS and other challenges in prevention of airborne infections.<\/p>\n

Efficiency of the IQAir\u00ae filtration of the H1N1 virus<\/strong><\/p>\n

IQAir\u00ae filtration system have been tested successfully according to the strict standards of DIN EN 1822 by an independent institution. The HEPA-filters of the IQAir\u00ae Cleanroom-series are filters of class H12, resp. H13 and filter at least 99.5 % of the smallest and highly infectious particles of known disease agents. Therefore the pig flu virus (approx.. 0.1\u03bcm diameter) or the SARS corona virus (approx. 0.11\u03bcm diameter) are filtered approximately at 100 %<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Chief advantages of the highly effective IQAir\u00ae air purifiers<\/strong><\/p>\n

Though high efficiency isn\u2019t the only feature of performance of IQAir\u00ae devices it\u2019s still one of the most important features. The highly efficient air purifier guarantees:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. User nearby the air purifier breathe air as clean as possible.<\/li>\n
  2. Less air circulation is necessary to clean the ambient air. That entails that the air purifier can run on a lower fan stage than less efficiency air purifiers whereby less noise and draught occurs.<\/li>\n
  3. Filtered suspended matters remain in the filter and won\u2019t get into the ambient air again.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The IQAir\u00aeseries technology<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \"AirIQAir air purification systems<\/a> proved themselves over a million times in critical areas all over the world since more than 10 years. Because of their superior filtration efficiency, their great versatility und high mobility IQAir\u00ae air purifiers belong to the most advanced and economic mobile air filtration system available in the sector today.<\/p>\n

    IQAir air purification systems<\/a> are used by leading research institutions, hospitals und companies for air purification all over the world.<\/p>\n

    IQAir air purification systems<\/a> specially excel with their high separation efficiency of constant and liquid airborne particles or aerosols. The Cleanroom 250 MG is used for infectious prevention in medical institutions and in cleanroom likely areas for particle reduction because of its certified and guaranteed filtration efficiency. Every single filter of the Cleanroom-series has been tested and every device has got an own certificate.<\/p>\n

    Every model offers high comfort of application and the following system advantages:<\/strong><\/p>\n
