The label states that the filter works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.

The label for the NanoFlashing™ Air Filter states: “This filter treats the air that passes through it.” It also states: “It works alongside ventilation and cleaning, not in place of them.” and “Results in a building depend on the system, the airflow, and how well the filter fits its track.” The filter captures airborne particles mechanically and by electrostatic attraction. 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.”
