How does Sani-Mate differ from a HEPA filter?

HEPA filtration devices capture particles (down to 0.3 micron in size), and the filters need to be replaced. Sani-Mate is a cold incineration device which actually destroys the airborne contaminants. Different contaminants are neutralized and destroyed in different manners, depending on their chemical properties. Sani-Mate is not a filtration device, and no parts need to be replaced or serviced.

In what other devices has corona discharge technology been used? Corona discharge technology has been used by the military, to destroy toxic biological and nerve agents in the field and in laboratories, and in industry manufacturing "clean rooms" for years. The same technological principles have only recently been miniaturized to allow for personal, portable use.

Is Sani-Mate an ionizer?

No. Sani-Mate is a corona discharge device. An ionizer uses electrostatic precipitation to negatively charge particles. Although a corona discharge device has an ionization effect internally, it uses electronic plasma incineration, similar to a lightning strike, to destroy airborne contaminants. Corona discharge is able to destroy many more airborne contaminants than traditional ionization. The negative ions which are generated internally are neutralized by the neutral grid of the Sani-Mate before the purified air is emitted to the living space.

Is Sani-Mate an ozone generator?

Although the Sani-Mate does emit low levels of ozone, it is not classified as an Ozone Generator.

Is the level of ozone output safe?

Yes. OSHA guidelines define permissible ozone exposure limits at 0.10 parts per million (100 parts per billion). Sani-Mate emits between 0.02 and 0.04 parts of ozone per million (20-40 parts per billion). This is only 20 to 40% of the OSHA allowance, and is entirely safe and healthful.

Is there a tiny fan inside? I feel a slight breeze of air coming from my unit.

No, there is not a fan. Sani-Mate's ionic corona discharge sets up a powerful, electrodynamically driven airflow, drawing pollutants into it and ejecting purified air at a velocity of about 70 feet per minute.

How should Sani-Mate be cleaned?

There are no user serviceable parts inside the Sani-Mate. If necessary, just wipe with a damp cloth. A Q-tip can be used to clean accumulated dust, but some report that canned compressed air works best.

Why Should you Purchase a Sani-Mate?

Sani-Mate uses proven technology and uses less than 2 watts of power to clean and disinfect the air in any small area. Perfect for the bath. Sanitize the kitchen counter area. Literally thousands of users have dramatically benefited from using the Sani-Mate. Whether you have allergies, asthma, chemical sensitivities, emphysema, or other respiratory problems, Sani-Mate will help you to breathe easier, and disinfect surfaces at the same time.

If you are not satisfied with your purchase of the Sani-Mate, we will happily refund your purchase price. You have nothing to lose, but have everything to gain.
