Does passive mean a complete purifier needs no fan or pump?

Passive describes the filter, not the system around it.

The filter is passive. It draws no power, and it has no power supply, electrode, lamp or reservoir. In a forced-air system, the system's own fan moves air through the filter. A complete air cleaner still has to move air: INHALO™, the wall-mounted air cleaner named on the Air page, is built around a NanoFlashing™ Air Filter and runs continuously at breathing height. NanoFlashing™ is a technology; the name, rating and sale of a product that carries it are set by that product's maker and seller.
