    biosafety level 3 lab testing. The test was conducted by MRI Global, an
    independent US non-profit research organization, in a 13ft³ (0.37m³) chamber on
    live aerosolized SARS-CoV-2 virus. 
  • Blueair’s
    HealthProtect™ first major brand air purifier tested to remove live SARS-CoV-2
    Virus from the airi.

Blueair has launched HealthProtect™,
its most advanced air purifier ever, in Singapore. Combining three new
revolutionary technologies, the HealthProtect™ air purifier protects against
viruses and bacteria even when it is on stand-by. The same technology also been
adopted by a world class airport for the health and safety of its staff on the frontlines
and travellers.


Says Henk D. in ‘t Hof, CEO, “At Blueair we are proud to be an industry leader
in performance testing. Blueair has built its position as a leader within the
air purification industry by 25 years of independent third-party testing of all
innovations. Today there is no surprise that the COVID-19 pandemic is driving
demand for air purifiers, and as such, our commitment to consumers is to
deliver honest, factual, results on live SARS-CoV-2 virus that consumers can
trust. Air purifiers should be used as an additional measure alongside the
national and international guidelines.”

 

Superior removal of particles,
chemicals and germs – using 55% less energy

HealthProtect™
uses HEPASilent Ultra™, Blueair’s most advanced filtration technology ever.
This technology combines electrostatic and mechanical filtration to kill 99%A
of viruses and bacteria, and remove dust, pollen, dander, mold, VOCs, and
odors. Compared to traditional “true HEPA” filtration used in most air
purifiers, HEPASilent Ultra™ silently delivers 50% moreB clean air
and uses 55% less energyC.

 

Eradicates viruses and bacteria
– even on standby

Even
when the HealthProtect™ air purifier is on standby, the GermShield™ technology
proactively monitors the room and automatically activates when conditions are
optimal for germ growth. GermShield™ uses a low air draft to ensure no new
growth of germs, and plasma charging to killD existing viruses and
bacteria on both the filters and interior surfaces.

 

MoreB clean air to
every corner of the room

Unlike
other air purifiers that only push clean air to a small part of the room, the
(patent-pending) SpiralAir™ outlets are uniquely engineered to deliver 360°,
omni-directional, airflow quickly circulating moreB clean air to
every corner of the room (based on recommended room size and AHAM standard of
five Air Changes per Hour).

 

Smart features for a clean,
connected home

Using
geofencing technology, HealthProtect™ goes into standby mode when you leave the
house and turns back on as you approach home, ensuring clean air when you
arrive. Smart features like (patent-pending) “Clean air ETA” and real-time
pollutant tracking of fine particles (PM1 – 2.5) like smoke, bacteria and
viruses and coarse particles (PM10) such as dust, pollen and spores helps you
to understand how household activities and cleaning product choices are
impacting your air quality. HealthProtect™ is easily voice-controlled by Amazon
Alexa and Google Home, or remotely from the Blueair app.

 

Even
the filters are smart in HealthProtect™, equipped with a smart RFID chip to
accurately monitor filter status. When it’s time to replace the filter, the
Blueair app will send you an alert and allow you to re-order at the touch of a
button.

 

Whisper-silent clean air
delivery for a good night’s sleep

Air
purifiers are generally recommended to be placed in the room where most time is
spent. This is most often the bedroom. Many air purifiers, however, cannot
clean the air without making a lot of noise. The HealthProtect™ uses HEPASilent
Ultra™ filtration technology to deliver its powerful filtration performance
quieter than a whisper (30 dB) on the lowest setting and a normal conversation
(65 dB) on the highest. The smart night-mode will optimise the setting and turn
off any disturbing light that could affect a good night’s sleep.

 

Designed in Sweden

Every
component is uniquely engineered in Sweden to provide the highest performance
and energy efficiency. Blueair’s Swedish heritage is also apparent in the
choice of sustainable, high-quality materials and thoughtful design features
such as easy to clean pre-filters and hidden wheels.

 

HealthProtect™
is now available in Singapore at Tangs, Takashimaya, Harvey Norman, Best Denki,
BHG, Mega Discount Store, Lazada and Shopee.
