The new Sanyo virus washer protects healthcare staff from airborne pathogens by permanently inactivating airborne viruses and bacteria. The technology, which comes in the form of a moveable floor standing unit, is designed for use in sensitive and at-risk areas such as GP surgeries and hospital waiting rooms, to protect staff and the general public from the spread of disease.

Electrolysed water runs over the air purification element in the virus washer and indoor air is then forced to circulate through the element, inactivating airborne viruses which pass through it.

The unit also has a five-layer filter system, including a high efficiency HEPA filter for removing pollen and dust mites, and has the approval of the British Allergy Foundation. The model (VW-VF10BG) is suitable for spaces of up to 100 cubic metres.
