Last reviewed: .
All questions in this libraryWhat information exists for use in a home with children, and what remains unassessed?
The company publishes no study of a home with children.
The Validation page states that NanoFlashing™ is tested under Good Laboratory Practice to US EPA Health Effects Test Guidelines, and it names Product Safety Labs, Study 65321, Study 65322, Study 65323 and Study 65324. The Validation page also states that NanoFlashing™ is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Product Class II, the class for products in direct contact with skin, and it names OEKO-TEX Service GmbH, Certificate 17.0.25812. NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through. The company publishes no study of a person group and makes no suitability statement for one. The Terms of Use state: “A laboratory reduction in a virus, bacterium, fungus, particle, or other endpoint does not establish a clinical benefit, fewer infections, disease prevention or treatment, or improved health.” They also state: “Do not use Site Content to diagnose, treat, or make a patient-care or infection-control decision.” and “Do not delay or replace professional care because of Site Content.” The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it. It is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. It works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.” It also directs that the filter be kept out of reach of children. Certificate 17.0.25812 can be checked at source in OEKO-TEX’s public label check.

What evidence, if any, concerns allergens or symptoms rather than microorganisms alone?
The company publishes no allergen count and no symptom measurement.
The Validation page states that NanoFlashing™ is tested under Good Laboratory Practice to US EPA Health Effects Test Guidelines, and it names Product Safety Labs, Study 65321, Study 65322, Study 65323 and Study 65324. The Validation page also states that NanoFlashing™ is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Product Class II, the class for products in direct contact with skin, and it names OEKO-TEX Service GmbH, Certificate 17.0.25812.

The Validation page lists the organisms tested, and a result does not carry across to an organism its own test did not cover.
Pollen is one of the air items the company names, and a symptom is not an endpoint in any named test. A laboratory result on an organism is not a medical conclusion. Certificate 17.0.25812 can be checked at source in OEKO-TEX’s public label check.

Does a person with limited mobility have a practical way to replace the filter?
The label sets the steps for changing the filter, and who carries them out is decided by the owner of the system.
The label states when to replace it: at the pressure drop or the replacement interval printed on it, whichever comes first. The label also instructs: “Do not run the system with no filter in the track.” and “Do not wash, vacuum, brush, blow out or reuse this filter.” It instructs that the system be switched off at the thermostat or at the unit's disconnect before the filter access is opened, and that the access panel be closed before the system is switched back on.
Who carries out the change, and who buys the next filter, is decided by the owner of the system and the maker of the unit.

Would a person with contact allergies need ingredient information for handling replacements?
The company publishes no composition, and the property it does publish is a charge, not a substance.
NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. A charge is a physical property. It is not a substance or a mixture of substances. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request.
The Validation page states: “NanoFlashing™ is certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, Product Class II, the class for products in direct contact with skin.” Product Safety Labs, Study 65324, completed 31 January 2024, reported that the material it tested “is not considered to be a contact sensitizer”. A copy may be made available on our review of the request.
A materials review that needs more than the company's published pages is arranged in writing, through [email protected] on the Contact page. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.

Could essential-oil vapour alter the material or complicate symptom reports?
The company publishes no result for exposure to an oil vapour.
The conditions listed on the Validation page are heavy dust loaded, fast air flow, used filter for 1 year, after 60 washes, after 2 years of storage, and after 60C for 64 days. The Terms of Use state: “A reported result describes only what the identified test found.” They also state: “A test of C-POLAR material, a component, or a prototype does not establish the performance of a finished product that incorporates it. Construction, processing, storage, wear, cleaning, other components, and actual use may change the result.”
What can be checked on a sample after any handling is the charge. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. It is measured as surface charge density, in nanocoulombs per square centimetre. The charge is measured on every production run, and the measurement can be repeated on any filter, upon request.

NanoFlashing™ is passive. It generates no ozone, releases nothing, and adds nothing to what passes through. The Terms of Use state that a laboratory reduction in a virus, bacterium, fungus, particle, or other endpoint does not establish a clinical benefit, fewer infections, disease prevention or treatment, or improved health, and: “Do not use Site Content to diagnose, treat, or make a patient-care or infection-control decision.” The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label states that the filter is not a medical device and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease. The Validation page lists the organisms tested, and a result does not carry across to an organism its own test did not cover. A laboratory result on an organism is not a medical conclusion.

Can an air-quality improvement be interpreted differently for a person whose symptoms have several triggers?
An air measurement is read as a measurement of air, not of a person, and the company publishes no symptom evidence.

My doctor told me to get a HEPA filter. Is a NanoFlashing filter the same thing?
NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller, and cpolar.tech publishes no HEPA rating.
NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. The ratings published on cpolar.tech are MERV 15A and ISO ePM1 70%, each on the pocket filter that was tested. LMS Technologies, Report 6847, 5 November 2024, tested a 24 × 24 × 30 in. pocket filter under ASHRAE 52.2-2017 with Appendix J and rated it MERV 15A. Eurovent Certita Certification, Certificate 15.06.011, certified a ten-pocket filter at ISO ePM1 70% under ISO 16890. Those ratings belong to the pocket filters that were tested, not to a flat panel filter for a home system. For a panel filter, LMS Technologies, Report LMS#9904, 28 April 2025, measured single-pass fractional efficiency on a 24 × 24 × 2 in. pleated air filter in an ASHRAE 52.2 test duct; it is a laboratory result on that filter, not a HEPA test and not a result in a building.

Will it wipe out the healthy microbes in my home that my kids need for their immune system?
The filter works only on the air that passes through it, and the company does not claim that it tells a bacterium that causes illness from one that does not.
The NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it.” The filter is intended to destroy the viruses, bacteria and fungal spores it captures. It destroys them on direct contact with the positive electric charge, by physical means, and only while the organism is captured by the positive electric charge. The air leaving the filter has had nothing added to it. The company publishes no test on beneficial bacteria; the bacteria it names as tested are Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Enterococcus faecalis.

Will I get a static shock if I touch the filter?
The company has not published anything about a shock or static sensation from touching the filter.
The company sets out the physical description of the charge in its Statement of Classification. NanoFlashing™ is a permanent positive polarity engineered into filter media itself. It is a physical property of the filter. The polarity is a positive electric charge at rest. The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. For handling, the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter label states: “The frame edges can be sharp.” For a used filter it states: “Wear gloves, and eye protection and a dust mask where dust is heavy.” A question about handling the filter can be sent to [email protected].
