The Science Behind ActivePure Technology for Physical Therapy Clinics

Staying healthy is a significant concern for businesses to run efficiently and these days it is paramount, especially within physical therapy practices. At the same time, having to proactively clean and scrub to keep away any unwanted pathogens or viruses is an easy way to stunt the productivity of your staff. 

Luckily, ActivePure Technology makes things easier and safer for private practices by providing set-it-and-forget-it, around-the-clock protection of all air and surfaces.

Importance of Air Purification in the Private Practice

To maintain a clean, healthy environment for patients and staff, clinics must go beyond just mitigating the airborne and surface contaminants that can spread easily given the nature of the therapy process – and actually eliminate them. Heavy breathing, perspiration and the handling of a variety of surfaces during a session can make physical therapy locations vectors for viral loads, which is why it is more important than ever to promote safety.

ActivePure Technology has been scientifically proven to reduce over 99.9% of the virus that causes COVID-19, both on surfaces and in the air. Here is what the robust testing involved:

• Tested on live SARS-CoV-2 virus, not proxy or surrogate strains
• Boasted proven reduction rate of over 99.9% of airborne SARS-COV-2 within 1 minute
• Demonstrated a 99.98% surface reduction rate of SARS-CoV-2 virus within 7 hours
• All tests were completed in an unaffiliated lab in partnership with a Biosafety Level 4 and Biosafety Level 3 combination lab team
• Ideal for indoor areas up to 5,000 sq. ft. – clinics, ballrooms, conference centers, restaurants, hotel lobbies, and large public spaces
• Quickly reduces DNA and RNA viruses including SARS-CoV-2 (novel coronavirus), Swine Flu (H1N1), Avian Bird Flu (H5N8), Hepatitis A (HAV) and MS2 bacteriophage

How ActivePure Technology Works

Across two major products, The Pure & Clean (which covers up to 2,000 square feet) and the Beyond Guardian (which covers 2,000+ square feet), ActivePure allows for 24/7 full-coverage air and surface disinfection by deactivating pathogens in enclosed environments – perfect for the physical therapy clinic. 

The success of ActivePure’s latest testing results has shown an even greater reduction in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic – making it a top air purification solution worldwide across commercial, residential, education and medical settings.

Dr. William S. Lawrence, Ph.D., director of the Aerobiology Service Center at UTMB’s Galveston National Laboratory, said, “These results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of this technology in a laboratory setting. Importantly, the device is still showing a very high level of inactivation after just one minute.”

What Makes ActivePure Different?

Most air purifiers focus on the air change per hour. ActivePure Technology does this AND provides ActivePure molecules that are constantly working, not waiting for the air change. Otherwise, one cough could hang around for minutes before traditional air purifiers scrub it.

ActivePure is different. Utilizing Advanced Photocatalysis, ActivePure technology treats the air and surfaces before a virus enters a space. Using a patented honeycomb matrix that pulls free the oxygen and water molecules in the air, ActivePure creates oxidizers that are continually released back into the room, protecting air space and surfaces. Instead of allowing pockets where a virus can thrive, ActivePure is always in action.

“In addition to our independent testing data, we have real-world data that specifically looks at how our customer’s outcomes improved based on ActivePure, which further demonstrates our technology’s efficacy,” said Joe Urso, chairman and CEO of ActivePure Technologies, LLC. “When it comes to SARSCoV-2, we know that multi-layered protection strategies work the best to mitigate disease and protect occupants. ActivePure has become an important part of this multi-layered approach.”

Simply put – when you walk into the door, ActivePure is cleansing you from head to toe. 

ActivePure’s Proven Efficacy in Laboratory Studies

The results are impressive regarding the scientific proof of ActivePure technology for your physical therapy business. By reducing airborne contaminants in real-time, you are providing a proven system to protect your patients and staff. 

Data gathered from Aerosol Research and Engineering Laboratories, a third-party laboratory, confirmed that ActivePure had a 99.9999% reduction in airborne contaminants in the MS2 bacteriophage RNA virus after only 60 minutes.

ActivePure Protects Against Pathogens and Contaminants

And that is just one of the many contaminants tested for in the lab, with ActivePure technology resulting in at least 99.99% reductions across the board for pathogens including:

• SARS-CoV-2
• Staphylococcus Aureus
• Aspergillus niger endospores (toxic black mold surrogate)
• H1N1 Influenza (Swine Flu)
• H5N8 Influenza (Bird Flu)
• MRSA
• Bacillus globigii (C. difficile & anthrax surrogate)
• MS2 Bacteriophage – RNA Virus
• Staphylococcus epidermidis (Gram +)
• PhiX-174 – DNA Virus
• Erwinia Herbicola (Gram -)
• Listeria monocytogenes
• Murine Norovirus
• E. coli
• Candida auris (fungus)
• Botrytis cinerea (fungus)
• Sclerotinia sclerotiorum (fungus)
• Legionella pneumophila (bacteria)
• Aspergillus versicolor (fungus)
• Clostridium difficile (endospore)
• Salmonella enterica (bacteria)

Don’t Risk the Safety of Patients and Therapists

ActivePure technology can keep your staff and patients safe and focused on recovery by stopping the spread of pathogens (and the anxieties surrounding them) in their tracks.
