Since the start of the COVID-19 worldwide pandemic, people have been looking for better ways of staying protected against the many viruses and bacteria that can potentially be carried in the air we breathe. While gadgets like indoors air purifiers allow us to keep the air circulating inside small and large rooms nice and clean thanks to their integrated True HEPA Filters, there really aren’t many solutions available that allow you to filter any potential viruses and bacteria from the air we breathe outside, and that goes especially for crowded places. Nevertheless, there’s a new revolutionary gadget designed for virus protection that gives people a reliable way to disinfect the air indoors whenever there isn’t an air purifier unit nearby them. Meet the Respiray Wearable Air Purifier.
The Respiray is a battery-powered wearable air purifier equipped with built-in UV-C Light Modules that can disinfect the air a user breathes in with invisible UV-C Light, inactivating over 99% of viruses and bacteria in the air.
Basically, the way this wearable UV air purifier works is by using UV-C Light Technology to create a clean air zone around the wearer’s face, thus giving each user a reliable and effective way to inactivate bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms that can be carried in the air we breathe in.
Now, let’s have a more detailed look at the Respiray and check out everything that this wearable air purifier has to offer you.
DESIGNS & SPECS
Starting with the product’s size, the Respiray comes in a somewhat compact size, featuring a fit-all design and measuring just 8.85 inches long by 3.74 inches wide by 12.20 inches tall (225 x 95 x 310 mm). Additionally, this wearable air-filtration gadget is also fairly lightweight, weighing just 2.09 lbs. (0.95 kg).
Designed to be worn by anyone, this wearable air purifier works as a non-medical grade alternative to traditional face masks, featuring a unique ergonomic design that allows the device to sit comfortably on your shoulders.
In other words, the Respiray keeps both a wearer’s face and mouth completely clear so that they can talk, smile and also breathe freely in public. Moreover, that same ergonomic and freedom-focused design also helps to completely avoid users with glasses from ending up with foggy glasses that would otherwise steam up and block their vision.
On top of that, the Respiray also comes with an Attachable Face Shield that can be optionally used for extra protection against direct coughs and sneezes from any potential passersby, which is perfect for whenever a user requires to circulate in crowded areas, such as when moving through your daily commute or even when moving around a busy work space (like an office building, etc.).
Now, onto the Respiray’s main component, meaning its built-in UV-C Light Modules, which is exactly what makes this device work as a wearable UV air purifier.
As said before, the Respiray is a battery-powered wearable air purifier that comes equipped with built-in UV-C Light Modules that ultimately allow the device to disinfect the air each of its users breath in via invisible UV-C Light, which inactivates over 99% of viruses and bacteria in the air.
As we all know, UV-C Light is one the most effective methods to inactivate bacteria, viruses, and other harmful microorganisms, which is basically done by damaging their DNA or RNA, so they cannot multiply.
In fact, as the Earth’s ozone layer blocks almost all incoming UV-C light, close to no bacteria and viruses have developed resistance against it. That ultimately makes the Respiray wearable UV air purifier highly effective against most airborne pathogens known today, whether those are bacteria, viruses, or any other type of harmful microorganisms that can be potentially carried in the air we breathe.
Working together with its built-in UV-C Light Modules, the Respiray also features an integrated Intake Filter (installed at the bottom side of the device) that helps to protect users against any dust or any other larger particles that can also be carried in the air we breathe.
Now, it’s also important to note that the UV-C LED Lights from the Respiray’s built-in UV-C Light Modules operate in a very narrow range of UV-C light at 265, which is exactly what helps to ensure that the device doesn’t produce any ozone whatsoever, thus making it completely safe both for each user as well as for the Environment. In other words, thanks to the device’s fully light-sealed design, no UV-C light can escape, which ultimately ensures that the Respiray is completely safe for personal use and that it also doesn’t cause any health problems to its users.
Additionally, it’s also worth mentioning that the Respiray’s integrated UV-C Light Module has been independently tested in the laboratories of the University of Tartu in Estonia, and the University of Łódź in Poland.
In the Łódź test, the device’s patent-pending UV-C Light Disinfection Module achieved 99.7% and 99.9% reduction against E.coli and S.aureus bacteria. Then, in the Tartu study, the device’s UV-C Light Module achieved 99.4% effectiveness of inactivating the Alphavirus, as well as 99.2% effectiveness of inactivating the Influenza A virus.
Finally, to push the already disinfected and filtered air out of its internal Disinfection and Air Filtration System, the device also comes equipped with two Radial Fans that blow out that same clean and safe-to-breathe air to the front-side of a user’s face.
The Respiray’s built-in Radial Fans operate at a very quiet noise level, which can vary between 43dB to 55 dB, depending on their current Fan-Speed settings.
BATTERY & LIFE
As said before, this wearable UV air purifier is battery-powered. That said, at the back side of the Respiray, we have a built-in 5000mAh Lithium Ion Battery that can offer you around 8 hours of battery life of continuous use on a full-charge.
The device’s battery can be easily and conveniently charged by simply connecting the included USB-C Charging Cable to its USB-C Charging Port (found at the back side of the unit) and the cable’s other end to the included USB-C Wall Adapter.
Moreover, for any time that your Respiray is running low on battery, you’ll also be happy to know that its internal battery can be charged from 0% to 50% in just an hour and a half. Then, for charging its battery from 0% back to full power (100%), it should take you around 5 hours.
WHAT’S IN THE BOX?
Inside each package, users will find: their Respiray wearable UV air purifier, two (x2) Attachable Face Shields (with different heights of 5.90″ and 7.87″ / 15 cm and 20 cm), along with the device’s included USB-C Charging Cable and USB-C Wall Adapter, a spare Intake Filter (for replacing with the unit’s already pre-installed Filter Unit), and the device’s Quick Start Guide and User Manual.
FINAL THOUGHTS
The Respiray is a battery-powered wearable air purifier equipped with built-in UV-C Light Modules that can disinfect the air a user breathes in with invisible UV-C Light, inactivating over 99% of viruses and bacteria in the air.
Combining UV-C Light Technology to inactivate over 99% of viruses and bacteria in the air by damaging their DNA or RNA so they cannot multiply with an an Intake Filter that helps to protect users against any dust or any other larger particles that can also be carried in the air we breathe, the Respiray allows each user to personally disinfect the air surrounding them.
Additionally, its Attachable Face Shield works great on offering each user some extra protection against direct coughs and sneezes when circulating within crowded areas.
The Respiray is available in one of two different color models: Black or White.
