■ No frontiers – the virus contam<strong>in</strong>ation occurs worldwide.<br />

Of this visitor,<br />

we need to take care<br />

■ Invisible danger!<br />

<strong>The</strong>y are extremely small<br />

and dangerous, we cannot<br />

see them, smell them and<br />

hear them com<strong>in</strong>g but the<br />

day they are identified, it is<br />

already too late! <strong>Air</strong>borne<br />

contam<strong>in</strong>ants, like micro-organisms,<br />

viruses and other<br />

disease <strong>in</strong>ducers, are one<br />

of the most serious threats<br />

for all human be<strong>in</strong>gs everywhere<br />

<strong>in</strong> the world. Always<br />

newer and more complex<br />

airborne contam<strong>in</strong>ants<br />

appear, that are often even<br />

non identified and resistant<br />

to exist<strong>in</strong>g antibiotics and<br />

vacc<strong>in</strong>es.<br />

■ Somewhere <strong>in</strong> the air!<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce the apparition of<br />

the first SARS-epidemics,<br />

people are now conscious of<br />

this <strong>in</strong>visible danger and this<br />

dramatic problem has forced<br />

the competent authorities to<br />

f<strong>in</strong>d a universal solution to<br />

fight aga<strong>in</strong>st virus contam<strong>in</strong>ation.<br />

S<strong>in</strong>ce then, astronomic<br />

efforts have been <strong>in</strong>vested<br />

to develop new drugs<br />

and strategies <strong>in</strong> order to<br />

counteract this lethal danger<br />

for at least prevent<strong>in</strong>g the<br />

uncontrolled and disastrous<br />

expansion of new epidemics.<br />

■ <strong>The</strong> solution now exists!<br />

<strong>The</strong> VIROXX air decontam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

system has been<br />

especially developed and<br />

validated for this purpose.<br />

This concept is able<br />

to <strong>in</strong>activate with<strong>in</strong> a very<br />

short time the dangerous<br />

airborne viruses, which is a<br />

real world „première“. It can<br />

also be used for <strong>in</strong>activat<strong>in</strong>g<br />

other airborne contam<strong>in</strong>ants,<br />

like micro-organisms and<br />

disease <strong>in</strong>ducers. VIROXX<br />

is a universal and reliable<br />

concept that guarantees<br />

extremely high <strong>in</strong>activation<br />

yields all over the world.<br />

Virus and micro-organism epidemics<br />

are dangerously progress<strong>in</strong>g<br />

■ Worldwide expansion<br />

■ Contam<strong>in</strong>ation also possible via<br />

the ambient air<br />

■ New, unknown contam<strong>in</strong>ants<br />

■ Antibiotic resistant micro-organisms<br />

■ SARS, Ebola, Avian & Human Influenza


<strong>The</strong> problem importance<br />

■ Highly populated areas<br />

and mobility worsen the<br />

problem<br />

With the <strong>in</strong>ternational airl<strong>in</strong>e<br />

connections, the expansion<br />

of a disease can happen<br />

with<strong>in</strong> a couple of hours, all<br />

over the world. Consequently,<br />

the air <strong>in</strong> strategic areas<br />

with high people circulation<br />

must be treated <strong>in</strong> order to<br />

abate the airborne contam<strong>in</strong>ants,<br />

like micro-organisms<br />

and viruses. Also <strong>in</strong> closed<br />

rooms with high people<br />

concentration the danger of<br />

airborne contam<strong>in</strong>ant contam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

is extremely high.<br />

In airports and railway<br />

stations, <strong>in</strong> airplanes, tra<strong>in</strong>s<br />

and ferries, <strong>in</strong> hospitals and<br />

private medical practices,<br />

<strong>in</strong> hotels and <strong>in</strong> any high risk<br />

zone, dangerous airborne<br />

contam<strong>in</strong>ants, like viruses<br />

and micro-organisms, must<br />

be abate as far as possible,<br />

<strong>in</strong> order to prevent any<br />

uncontrolled epidemic that<br />

can be <strong>in</strong>itiated by just one<br />

<strong>in</strong>fection.<br />

■ Highly efficient aga<strong>in</strong>st<br />

uncontrolled epidemic<br />

Wherever you are, VIROXX<br />

helps you to protect yourself<br />

aga<strong>in</strong>st airborne contam<strong>in</strong>ants,<br />

with the same abatement<br />

efficiency, even <strong>in</strong><br />

highly critical environments<br />

like surgical rooms.<br />

Thanks to the <strong>in</strong>tegration<br />

of a bipolar air ioniser <strong>in</strong> the<br />

system, VIROXX not only guarantees<br />

a drastic reduction<br />

of the contam<strong>in</strong>ation risk by<br />

airborne contam<strong>in</strong>ants but<br />

also cleans the air, removes<br />

the unpleasant odours and<br />

enriches the ambient air<br />

with healthy air ions.<br />

Risks of virus and micro-organism contam<strong>in</strong>ation ma<strong>in</strong>ly occur <strong>in</strong>:<br />

■ <strong>Air</strong>ports, railway stations<br />

■ Showrooms<br />

■ Public rooms, like c<strong>in</strong>emas, concert rooms<br />

■ Hotels and sem<strong>in</strong>ar rooms<br />

■ <strong>Air</strong>planes, tra<strong>in</strong>s and ferries


Technology description<br />

A cont<strong>in</strong>uous air dis<strong>in</strong>fection and enrichment <strong>in</strong><br />

air ions prevents the spread<strong>in</strong>g of dangerous airborne<br />

contam<strong>in</strong>ants<br />

■ VIROXX helps you to be<br />

on the secure side and to get<br />

an optimal ambient air hygiene<br />

& quality. VIROXX is the<br />

perfect and synergic comb<strong>in</strong>ation<br />

of four successive air<br />

treatment steps - Prefiltration,<br />

Photochemical dis<strong>in</strong>fection,<br />

Catalytical Oxidation<br />

and Bipolar Ionisation – also<br />

called VIROXX QUADRO<br />

SYSTEM. Thanks to our<br />

30 years experience <strong>in</strong> the<br />

specific field of air treatment<br />

and dis<strong>in</strong>fection and thanks<br />

to our closed collaboration<br />

with German universities, we<br />

have succeeded, on request<br />

of the Ch<strong>in</strong>ese Health M<strong>in</strong>istry,<br />

to develop a process<br />

that can <strong>in</strong> very short time<br />

<strong>in</strong>activate airborne microorganisms<br />

and viruses, like<br />

SARS, Ebola, human and<br />

avian Influenza.<br />

This system has been<br />

validated <strong>in</strong> the „Institut für<br />

Virologie”, Philipps-Universität<br />

Marburg (Germany).<br />

One of their conclusions is<br />

that VIROXX can abate the<br />

SARS virus under detectable<br />

limits.<br />

<strong>The</strong> VIROXX patented technology<br />

can be <strong>in</strong>tegrated<br />

<strong>in</strong> exist<strong>in</strong>g air condition<strong>in</strong>g<br />

systems and also exists as<br />

a mobile and self-conta<strong>in</strong>ed<br />

system that can be <strong>in</strong>stalled<br />

<strong>in</strong> any k<strong>in</strong>ds of places.<br />

VIROXX-QUADRO mobile systems<br />

World „premiere” <strong>in</strong><br />

<strong>in</strong>door air hygiene!<br />

<strong>The</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation of the 4 follow<strong>in</strong>g filtration steps makes<br />

the <strong>in</strong>novative and patented VIROXX-QUADRO<br />

Technology absolutely unique <strong>in</strong> the world:<br />

■ Step 1: Prefiltration<br />

A f<strong>in</strong>e filter, <strong>in</strong>stalled at the entrance of the system, removes<br />

dust particles from the <strong>in</strong>com<strong>in</strong>g air.<br />

■ Step 2: Photo-Chemical Dis<strong>in</strong>fection<br />

<strong>The</strong> comb<strong>in</strong>ation of Photo-Oxidation and Photo-Catalysis allows<br />

the simultaneous <strong>in</strong>activation of micro-organisms and viruses<br />

and the degradation of odour molecules. For achiev<strong>in</strong>g<br />

high abatement efficiencies, lamps emitt<strong>in</strong>g powerful short<br />

UVC waves and photo-active catalysts have been used.<br />

■ Step 3: Catalytical Oxidation<br />

On the downstream side of the Photo-chemical dis<strong>in</strong>fection<br />

step, an extra catalyst is <strong>in</strong>stalled <strong>in</strong> order to improve the<br />

abatement efficiency.<br />

■ Step 4: Bipolar Ionisation<br />

This last air treatment step charges the dis<strong>in</strong>fected air with<br />

healthy air ions before its release <strong>in</strong> the ambiance. High<br />

concentrations of air ions are not only healthy for humans<br />

but also abate micro-organisms and viruses <strong>in</strong> the air and<br />

on surfaces and neutralize unpleasant odours.<br />
