LeVOCC air purification system destroys the PR8 strain of the H1N1 virus

Oct 9 2009

LeVOCC, Inc. today announced that independent laboratory testing has conclusively demonstrated that the LeVOCC^TM air purification system successfully destroys a strain of the H1N1 virus. Testing was conducted using the Puerto Rico 8 (PR8) strain of the H1N1 virus. This strain is an influenza A H1N1 seasonal strain and is a valid representative of all H1N1 strains.

In testing conducted under controlled conditions, the H1N1 virus was completely eliminated following 30 minutes of operation of the LeVOCC^TM unit. Viral detection was measured by real time PCR analysis. No viral RNA was detectable in air samples after running the LeVOCC^TM unit for 30 minutes.

"We are thrilled to bring this exciting technology to the market. It has been reported in the news media that hand washing has a limited effect in preventing the spread of H1N1 due to the virus' lipid cover. Besides that, spraying chemicals is harmful to the environment. We continuously remove H1N1 from the air we breathe; the unique LeVOCC Process^TM does so safely and successfully, without producing dangerous chemical by-products," stated Robert LeBlanc.

"Technology that destroys virus RNA the natural way is a major breakthrough for hospitals, nursing homes, day care and any public location, and particularly homes." says Robert LeBlanc.
