†Based on exposure of UV-C light to bed bug eggs, viruses and bacteria in the laboratory under controlled conditions. May be less effective when used on pile carpets and certain fabric surfaces. UV-C effectiveness depends on direct exposure duration and intensity and must shine on organism to be effective. In the event of bed bug infestation, a qualified pest exterminator should be contacted.

‡Based on exposure of UV-C light to test organisms in laboratory on non-porous hard surface, under controlled conditions. MRSA refers to Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (ATCC 33592). H1N1 refers to A/Swine/Iowa Swine Influenza A (ATCC 333)

◊Direct UV-C Light exposure is effective on certain allergen-producing organisms such as Mold A and reduces dust mites. HEPA-12 filtration can trap pet dander and mold spores.
