The EnviroKlenz Source Capture System standalone air purifier uses a suction hose to directly capture airborne pathogens and droplets that may escape from the patient’s mouth during dental procedures. It uses EnviroKlenz’s patented earth mineral technology, according to the company, originally designed for chemical warfare contamination in a directed point of source system for critical applications.

Using three filtration methods, including the patented EnviroKlenz Air Cartridge, HEPA filter and UVC bulbs, and adjustable hose, users can manipulate the Source Capture System to draw air from the source point, keeping staff safe while patients are unable to wear masks, the company said. It also provides additional COVID-19 safeguards for other patients, EnviroKlenz said. When not in use with a patient, it can be used as a complete room air purifier as well.

“With the EnviroKlenz Source Capture System, our priority is ensuring healthcare personnel feel comfortable and safe in their work environments,” said George Negron, vice president of operations at Timilon Corporation, EnviroKlenz’s parent company. “By offering dentists and specialty equipment to help keep them safe, we hope to provide peace of mind to staff and patients alike, helping them feel safer conducting routine dental health checkups.”

The Source Capture System uses the same filtration technology as other EnviroKlenz Air System models, which is effective in reducing 99.9% of viruses, mold, and fungus without releasing anything back into the environment, the company said. Also, the adsorptive neutralization process of the EnviroKlenz Air Cartridge is proven to be effective against toxic odors and chemicals, the company added.

Plus, the medical-grade HEPA filter captures harmful particulates, microorganisms, and more, EnviroKlenz said, filtering at a 99.97% efficiency rate. The system also includes UVC lamps that continuously radiate on the collection side of the HEPA filter, ensuring a high efficiency of killing collected organisms, the company said.
