The Medify MA-112-PRO Air Purifier is designed to improve indoor air quality by filtering out various airborne particles and odors. It utilizes a multi-stage filtration system to ensure comprehensive purification.
Function Description
The primary function of the Medify MA-112-PRO is to remove airborne contaminants from a given space. It employs a Genuine Medify True HEPA H13 Filtration System, which is highly effective in capturing microscopic particles. The True HEPA H13 Filter is tested to remove 99.9% of airborne particles as small as 0.1 microns. This includes common allergens such as pollen, dust mites, pet dander, and mold spores, as well as smoke particles. The higher grade of HEPA filter ensures that even tiny airborne particles that are invisible to the naked eye are caught.
In addition to particle removal, the air purifier addresses odors and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) through its Carbon Odor Filtration system. This substantial carbon filter, containing carbon pellets, is designed to reduce household odors and VOCs/gases, as demonstrated by independent laboratory testing. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where cooking odors, pet odors, or other unpleasant smells are present.
Before the air reaches the main filtration stages, a Pre-Filter captures larger particles. This initial filtration step helps to extend the life and maintain the efficiency of the subsequent HEPA and carbon filters.
