Japan on red alert for streptococcal toxic shock syndrome

An independent French laboratory, specialist in microbiology, has tested the performances of EOLIS Air manager on a coronavirus strain.
The strain of coronavirus used during the tests is not the one responsible for COVID-19 for obvious handling and safety reasons. However, NatéoSanté chose to test the effectiveness of EOLIS Air Manager on a very similar strain of human coronavirus that was discovered in the 1960s: strain 229E.
Its physical and biological characteristics (enveloped, positive-sense, single-stranded RNA structure, dimensions ~60-200 nm, etc.) are similar to those of all the human coronavirus strains, including the most pathogen ones such as MERS-CoV and SARS-CoV-2.
Over an operating period of 10 minutes at speed 2, the EOLIS Air Manager 600S air purifier eliminates 99.6% of the human Coronavirus 229E present in the air of the 0,54 m3 airtight enclosure.
EOLIS Air Manager air purifiers are usually in operation 24 hours a day. Additionally, they offer the cumulated benefits of EN 1822 certified HEPA H13 filtration, UV-C lamps and the active oxygen function. The results allow us to confirm the effectiveness of EOLIS Air Manager in reducing the airborne coronavirus viral load.
