“UV Flu Technologies, Inc. is pleased to announce that in response to interest from the marketplace, the company intends to rapidly roll out the development of a residential sector air purifier offering features specifically designed for the residential marketplace. The new unit will be designated UV-200 and will be designed with the needs of the health-conscious homeowner in mind.



"Our current UV-400 air purifier sets a very high standard, and is unique in the marketplace, but was primarily conceived for the demands of the commercial marketplace," said Jack Lennon, President of UV Flu Technologies. "Our UV-400 kills airborne bacteria in larger spaces up to 700-900 sq. feet, whereas typical HEPA filter units generally cover a space from 100-200 sq. feet. Our unit keeps on killing contaminants long after the filter units have lost their efficacy as they are not dependent on changing, or washing filters continuously."
