Indications for Use
Pūrgo™ is a combination UV and air filtration device, equipped with UV-C LEDs and a True HEPA filter intended for the reduction of bacteria, virus, fungal spores, and particles in air for use in medical facilities and other indoor spaces. Pūrgo™ is non-sterile.
Device Story
Pūrgo™ is a free-standing air disinfection system for medical and home use. It pulls ambient air through a multi-layer filter cartridge (pre-filter, activated carbon, HEPA) to remove particulates; remaining air passes through a proprietary SteriDuct chamber containing 265 nm UV-C LEDs. UV-C irradiation damages microbial RNA/DNA to neutralize pathogens. Device includes sensors for UV irradiance and airflow; touch panel interface for fan speed (sleep, normal, boost) and status monitoring. Safety features include interlock switches (door/filter presence) and diffuser panels to prevent UV exposure and fan contact. Output is purified air returned to the room. Device is designed for rooms up to 3000 ft³; does not disturb laminar airflow in surgical suites. Benefits include reduction of airborne pathogens like SARS-CoV-2, bacteria, and fungal spores.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data. Bench testing only. Efficacy demonstrated via log reduction testing of aerosolized biologicals (Gram+ bacteria, Gram- bacteria, RNA/DNA viruses, fungal spores) including SARS-CoV-2. Fractional efficiency testing per IEST-RP-CC001.6 confirmed 99.995% filter efficiency at 0.1-0.2 µm. Electrical safety, EMC, ozone emissions, and laminar airflow impact verified per applicable standards (UL 507, IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2).

### Device Description
Pūrgo™ is a free-standing air disinfection system employing two technologies for purifying air: HEPA filtration and UV-C light irradiation, removing or destroying bacteria and viruses in air. Pūrgo™ may be used in medical facilities and commercial home healthcare environments. Pūrgo™'s main components consist of:
- LED UV-C lamps that generate irradiation to destroy microorganisms that are not . filtered;
- . a proprietary SteriDuct chamber that intensifies the UV-C light to destroy microbiological material:
- a filtration system with pre-filter, activated carbon filter, and HEPA filter; .
- . a motor / impeller to move air through the filtration system;
- . sensors to monitor UV irradiance and airflow:
- . an electronic control system to power and control the device; and
- . a touch panel interface equipped with LEDs to indicate the working status of the device.
Pūrgo™ has several built-in safety features that will prevent operation of the filter cartridge is not in place or if the filter door is not closed. The unit also incorporates UV and airflow sensors that provide warnings to the user if the device is not performing as designed to purify air.
Pūrgo™ pulls air through a filter cartridge and then passes the filtered air through a chamber containing UV-C light to neutralize remaining airborne microorganisms (such as bacteria, viruses, and funqi). The filter cartridge contains a series of three filters, the first of which is a pre-filter that removes physically large particulate matter (such as dust) and protects the finer particle filters downstream. This is followed by an Activated Carbon filter. Finally, a HEPA (highefficiency particulate air) filter that removes 99.995% of the remaining airborne particles above a particle size of 0.1 µm.
Any microbes that still manage to make it through the filters, pass through the SteriDuct chamber where they are subjected to Ultraviolet Radiation at 265 nm (UV-C). UV radiation at this wavelength is particularly effective at destroying microbes. UV-C irradiation has been shown to damage the microbe's RNA and DNA genetic materials sufficiently to prevent the microbe's ability to reproduce.
After passing through the filtration and SteriDuct UV-C chamber, the purified air then exits back into the room. The exit air does not destroy laminar air flow in a typical operating room environment.

| Fractional<br>Efficiency<br>No additional<br>testing necessary | IEST-RP-CC001.6 -<br>HEPA and ULPA Filters | Fractional efficiency testing was<br>performed on the PūrgoTM filter and the<br>PūrgoTM device itself per IEST-RP-<br>CC001.6 TypeH test to determine the<br>fractional efficiency percentage of<br>particles of varying size ranges. | Per Standard | Filter: fractional efficiency<br>percentage of 99.995% at 0.1-0.2<br>μm<br>PūrgoTM Unit with Filter: fractional<br>efficiency percentage of 99.990%<br>at 0.1-0.2 µm |
| UV Intensity<br>No additional<br>testing necessary | Not Applicable | The UV intensity performance of the<br>PūrgoTM units was verified to ensure the<br>appropriate amount of UV irradiance is<br>achieved in the SteriDuct. | ≥ 0.240<br>mW/cm² | Pass |
| UV Irradiance<br>Exposure<br>No additional<br>testing necessary | American Conference of<br>Governmental Industrial<br>Hygienists (ACGIH) 2019<br>Threshold Limit Values<br>(TLVs) for Chemical<br>Substances and Physical<br>Agents and Biological<br>Exposure Indices (BEIs) | UV radiation testing and evaluation was<br>performed to measure the irradiance<br>values at each wavelength between 200-<br>400nm and determine the effective<br>irradiance of the UV radiation to ensure<br>UV exposure from the device is within<br>safe limits. | Per Standard | Testing demonstrated that when<br>operating in the normal condition<br>(filter in place), the unit meets<br>daily exposure limits (less than 0.1<br>µW/cm² for an 8 hour duration)<br>and is considered part of the<br>ANSI/IENSA RP-27.3-07 Exempt<br>Risk Group |
| Ozone<br>No additional<br>testing necessary | UL 867 - Electrostatic Air<br>Cleaners<br>UL ECVP 2998 Zero<br>Ozone Emissions for Air<br>Cleaners, 3rd edition -<br>2020 | Ozone testing was performed per UL 867<br>by monitoring the ozone concentration in<br>a test chamber at the highest fan speed<br>and lowest fan speed. | Per Standard | Testing demonstrates the PūrgoTM<br>unit is able to operate at less than<br>0.005 ppm at its highest and<br>lowest fan speed. |

| Airflow Performance Evaluation<br>No additional testing necessary | Not Applicable | The airflow performance of the Pūrgo™ units was verified at the three fan speeds available to the user. | Sleep: min. 125 CFM<br>Normal: min. 200 CFM<br>Boost: min. 315 CFM | Pass |
| Laminar Airflow Evaluation<br>No additional testing necessary | Internal Standards | Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was performed to evaluate airflow from the Pūrgo™ unit in a prototypical surgery room with the aim of determining combinations of Pūrgo™ unit positions and operating conditions that preserves the stable air curtain over the surgery table (i.e. does not disturb laminar flow). Flow rate, placement, and HVAC return duct position were considered in the analysis and | Pūrgo™ does not disturb laminar flow | Testing determined that optimal placement was near the outer wall of room (8' from the surgery table) for Pūrgo™ flow rates of 230 to 315 CFM. This is true regardless of whether HVAC return ducts were located near the ceiling or floor of the room. |
