How should a venue explain filtration to visitors without promising a safe event?
What a venue can say about a filter is what the filter's own label says, and the label keeps it narrow.
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. Results in a building depend on the system, the airflow, and how well the filter fits its track.” It also states: “Air that passes around a filter is not treated by it.” Filtration and ventilation are different things: a filter acts on the air that passes through it, and ventilation is the air a system brings in and takes away.
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,” and: “Nothing on the Site authorizes anyone to manufacture, integrate, market, resell, or describe a product as C-POLAR-enabled. Nothing authorizes anyone to describe itself as a C-POLAR partner. Written permission is required.”
