How does HealthWay’s DFS technology deal with COVID-19?
In response to the COVID-19 Pandemic, HealthWay® has conducted a series of tests to show the efficiency of DFS technology on the capture and permanent removal of airborne viruses and bacteria. World-renowned Infection Control expert and an advisor to the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) and the World Health Organization, Dr. Syed Sattar, conducted his studies in a chamber that was built to follow U.S. EPA guidelines.

DFS technology was proven to remove from the air a proxy virus for SARS-CoV-2 (RNA virus MS2)1. The results of this data show 99.987% elimination in 10 minutes of the surrogate, which is 0.03 micron in size. The test also showed that there was 100% elimination in 45 minutes and again 100% at 24 hours, indicating no reintroduction of the proxy virus. HealthWay® can’t promise to prevent you from getting COVID-19. We recommend that you review COVID-19-related information from the CDC and other reliable resources for more information.
