The UV lamps provides ultra protection against airborne bacteria and viruses. The importance of UV for maintaining healthy air quality for family members and office workers cannot be overstated. Even air filtration units using HEPA cannot control disease carrying microbes. HEPA will trap bacteria but it won't destroy it. Trapped organisms can eventually seep back into the air.
Viruses can actually pass through the filter.
Inside the C.A.R.E. 2000, the HEPA is actually continually bathed in UV light. Bacterial and viral microorganisms such as hepatitis, influenza, TB and Legionnaire's Disease are trapped and destroyed before they can infiltrate your air space. The accessible UV lamps are 9 watts apiece and provide 9,000 hours of protection. An indicator light on the control panel lets you know when the UV lamps are working properly. Inc.
