TREATMENT SPACE
The ActivePure Medical Guardian, model F171A is a device intended for medical purposes that is used in professional healthcare environments.
The device is designed to treat a space approximately 3,000 cubic feet that would have 8' to 10' ceilings. Recommended mode of action is
to operate the device on the highest speed possible continuously. The device recirculates ambient air continuously through the device where
the filter using straining and attraction reduces airborne contaminants from the air. Hydroxyl radicals and super ions created by the photo
catalyst ActivePure are mixed with the contaminant reduced air which then enters the treatment space. The ActivePure photo catalyst reduces
the viability of microorganisms 4-6 log such as Staphylococcus epidermidis and MS2 as tested, shown in Table 3. Larger spaces or operating
on lower fan speeds may require multiple devices. Operational guidelines are provided to users in the form of an Owner's Manual. The length
of time required to reach optimal reduction varies as a function of space volume and the dynamics of what occurs within the treatment space
including:
• Degree of contaminants in the air or being introduce by activities in the space
• Movement of people or equipment within the space
• Rates of ventilation
The device is intended to result in a 4-6 log reduction of airborne microorganisms from initial concentrations in 60 minutes as shown in Table 1.
The ActivePure Medical Guardian, model F171A is not a sterile device and is not intended to create a sterile environment.

The information on the device CFM performance and air exchanges for the different speed settings is shown in Table 2, to illustrate the influence of
treatment space to air exchanges on different fan speeds. These are provided to assist in determining the number of devices or fan speed settings
necessary for a given space.
