Long-term care facilities
Help reduce the risk of infection & outbreaks
Healthy indoor environments have a positive impact on residents & staff
The elderly are a vulnerable population and more susceptible to illness than younger adults. Pneumonia and lower respiratory tract infections remain the leading cause of mortality in nursing homes and airborne transmission is responsible for 20% of infections.
Outbreaks in senior living facilities can not only be dangerous but also costly in staff absenteeism, overtime, and closures. By maintaining an optimal indoor environment long-term care professionals can reduce infection rates while boosting wellbeing and staff productivity.
Viruses
Inactivate airborne viruses that cause outbreaks such as SARS-CoV-2, influenza and norovirus.
Odors
Neutralize offensive odors that affect staff and patient comfort.
Allergens
Reduce airborne allergens such as dander, pollen and dust.
Air disinfection for healthcare environments
Wherever people are coming and going, pathogens and pollutants are being introduced to the indoor environment. WellAir's portable air disinfection devices and air cleaning systems use our patented NanoStrikeTM Technology to inactivate aerosolized viruses, bacteria, and fungi, 24 hours a day.
Our Defend range of FDA-cleared Class II medical devices combines our powerful NanoStrike Technology with a triple-stage filtration system. These devices not only inactivate pathogens but clear the air of pollutants such as pollen, particulate matter (PM), volatile organic compounds (VOCs), gases, chemicals, and odors.
Reducing infection in retirement communities
This study compares the total number of nosocomial respiratory infections and infection rates before and after each implementation of Protect 200 (NV 200) and Protect 900 (NV 900) portable air disinfection devices.
Our Technology
The First Line of Protection Against Airborne Pathogens
Our technology has been independently tested and proven effective at inactivating the smallest of airborne viruses, bacteria, mold spores, and pollen. Watch our videos to learn more about our NanoStrike Technology and Soft Ionization.

When we found out about WellAir and what NanoStrike Technology could do for our dental practice, we added multiple devices to improve our air disinfection protocols. We don’t have to pay for or dispose of replacement filters with the Protect 900 and Protect 200 units. The units have been very quiet, effective and show our patients that we take their safety and the safety of our staff seriously.

After reviewing multiple technologies, I chose the Protect 900 from WellAir. Their NanoStrike technology completely (and I mean completely) destroys airborne viruses, bacteria, mold, and fungi. Two units covered the area we needed. Once they arrived they were easily set up, not requiring any particular installation.
I was thrilled at their compact size and appearance, and especially at how extremely quiet they were to run! This is crucial to their success-- that they actually get used! I also don’t have to worry about buying replacement filters or maintenance costs. Having cleaner air for my staff is critical to workplace safety and I can highly recommend this solution.

In the case of the air samples collected during the period of operation of the system, the number of colony-forming units was up to 96% lower than in the case of air samples collected before the system started to be used for strains of both bacteria and fungi.
The hospital staff found the WellAir air disinfection system to be: tolerable, easy to use, and safe for patients and staff. The WellAir air purification system complements existing measures to combat infections and does not require additional interventions to ensure that it functions without interruption.

Uzsoki Hospital, Hungary
After the initial COVID-19 crisis period had ended, 60 pulmonology workers were screened for SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.
Nationally, 8% of Hungary’s healthcare professionals had been infected; in the Uzsoki COVID-19 department, not a single staff member tested positive for antibodies, an outcome the hospital’s chief COVID-19 nurse attributes in part to continuous air disinfection.

The microbiological tests of the air in the areas where the devices were installed revealed a significant reduction in the number of microorganisms. Moreover, the elimination of unwanted odors in the tested rooms was noted.
The devices tested in our facility deserve to be widely used in healthcare institutions, particularly in sites of high epidemiological risk.

Not a single infection occurred after the installation of the WellAir disinfection devices. WellAir helped to reassure mothers over safety concerns and contributed to increased revenue by differentiating us from other hospitals that don’t offer the technology.
Furthermore, during the periodical test by the Public Health Inspectors for air quality, WellAir exceeded our expectations and we managed to get approval without any problem.

We installed and tested WellAir's Air Disinfection Units in St George's Hospital, Mumbai. The devices have been working 24/7 since early May 2020 in COVID-19 ICU wards. The Microbiology Department conducted bio-burden tests in the COVID-19 ICU wards at regular intervals (air settle plates method) for one month and found that the CFU count was always within permissible limits when [the WellAir] devices were working.
The devices are silent and safe for use around patients and effective in improving and maintaining acceptable air quality levels, reducing the chance of transmission of coronavirus, and protecting frontline healthcare workers.

The operation of the devices has clearly improved air quality, significantly decreasing and eliminating the unpleasant smells that were present previously. The noise emitted by the equipment is insignificant, it does not disturb the patients.
The [test] results reveal that apart from reducing the number of organic molecules causing the smells, the equipment also significantly decreased the quantity of pathogenic organisms.
Help safeguard vulnerable elderly residents and patients by inactivating pathogens.
