Vystar Corporation resumes production of UV air purifiers

Vystar Corporation in Worcester has restarted production of its RxAir400 ultraviolet light air purification systems through a new manufacturer, the company announced in a press release last week. 

The RxAir400 is a consumer-sized version of the company’s industrial-sized air purifier that is designed for disinfection use in hospitals.

The RxAir400 inactivated more than 99% of airborne viruses, including coronaviruses, in EPA and FDA-certified laboratory testing, according to the press release. The device can be used in a myriad of places, including schools, churches, offices, gyms and restaurants.

The device uses what Vystar Corp. terms a kill chamber, which exposes airborne pathogens to high-intensity UV-C lights, recirculating an area’s air as many as eight times an hour. 

The company is currently taking pre-orders for the device on its website.
