UV-C air disinfection · Made in EU

Lightagainstgerms.

UV-C light disinfects the room air. No filters, no chemicals, no ozone. Around the clock, while people are in the room.

CLAIR PRO, white column on castors with blue UV indicators

Wherever people meet, they share the air.

Six places where CLAIR works every day.

CLAIR PRO at the reception of a medical practice

Medical practice and waiting room

Sick and healthy people often sit in the same room for a long time. In winter, constant airing is hardly possible.

The CLAIR PRO disinfects the air during consultation hours. It stands on castors and runs from 34 dB.

Recommended: CLAIR PRO

Care homes and assisted living

Everyone meets in the common room, many with weakened immune systems.

CLAIR runs around the clock, without chemicals and without ozone. The ECO on its stand fits into any corner.

Recommended: CLAIR ECO

Schools and nurseries

20 to 30 children share one room. Constant airing brings cold and draughts in winter.

The CLAIR PRO runs during lessons and rolls on to the next classroom.

Recommended: CLAIR PRO

Offices and meetings

Changing groups in the same room, colds go round.

The CLAIR ECO disinfects the air during and between meetings. Plug in, switch on.

Recommended: CLAIR ECO

Open-plan office

Many workstations, shared air and hardly any floor space.

The CLAIR AIR hangs from the ceiling and takes up no space. It is controlled by app.

Recommended: CLAIR AIR

Restaurants and hotels

Guests and staff share the same room air all evening.

The CLAIR PRO stands discreetly to the side and keeps working at full capacity.

The basics

What is UV-C?

UV-C is the most energetic part of ultraviolet light. The sun emits it, but the ozone layer keeps almost all of it away from the earth. CLAIR produces it with OSRAM lamps at 254 nm, safely enclosed inside the unit.

UV-C100–280 nm
UV-B
UV-A
Visible light400–780 nm
254 nmCLAIR

Wavelength in nanometres. The shorter the wave, the more energy the light carries.

  1. 01

    Light hits the germ

    Inside the chamber, UV-C light penetrates viruses, bacteria and fungal spores carried past by the air.

  2. 02

    The DNA absorbs it

    Genetic material absorbs light around 254 nm particularly strongly. This destroys its structure.

  3. 03

    No reproduction

    The germ is inactivated and can no longer reproduce. Pathogens cannot develop resistance to this effect.

What happens inside CLAIR.

  1. 01

    Intake

    Four fans at the top of the unit draw room air in through the honeycomb grille at the bottom. PRO and AIR are rated at 600 m³ per hour, and the fan speed is adjustable.

  2. 02

    Light trap

    The air flows through zigzag louvres. Air passes through, UV light does not get out. The lamps are never visible from outside.

  3. 03

    Irradiation

    In the closed chamber, five OSRAM UV-C lamps irradiate the air at 254 nm. The radiation hits the DNA of viruses, germs and bacteria.

  4. 04

    Outflow

    Through the second light trap and the fans, the air leaves the unit at the top and returns to the room.

No filters.No ozone.No chemicals.

Just light. Nothing clogs, nothing needs to be reordered, nothing gets into the room air.

Against viruses, bacteria and fungi.

UV-C light at 254 nm destroys the genetic material of microorganisms. All bacteria and viruses tested so far respond to it. How much light is needed depends on the pathogen.

99.4%

fewer active viruses after a single pass through the unit (model virus MS2, 2.2 log steps, flow-optimised test set-up)

>85%

fewer germs (fungi and bacteria) in the room air after one hour of operation, test room 36.5 m³

Measured on CLAIR by an independent test laboratory in Germany, 2022.

Three models. One principle.

Same technology, three designs. What matters is the size of the room and where the unit should stand or hang.

Frequently asked questions.

Is UV-C dangerous when people are in the room?

No. The UV-C light only acts inside the closed unit. Light traps made of multi-bend louvres let air through but no light out. That is why CLAIR runs in normal operation while people are in the room.

Does it produce ozone?

No. The OSRAM lamps operate at 254 nm and are ozone-free.

Do I have to change filters?

No. CLAIR works without filters. There is nothing that clogs, has to be bought or disposed of as filter waste.

How often are the lamps changed?

Once a year in round-the-clock operation, at the latest after 9,000 operating hours, always all lamps at once. On PRO and AIR the ClairPro app shows the remaining lamp life.

Can the airflow be adjusted?

Yes. PRO and AIR are rated at 600 m³ per hour and have three fan speeds that you select in the ClairPro app. The ECO is rated at 300 m³ per hour and has two speeds on the illuminated button. The lamps never run without airflow.

How loud is CLAIR?

The ECO runs at 34 to 40 dB, PRO and AIR at 34 to 44 dB, depending on the fan speed.

What does it cost to run?

Mainly electricity: the ECO uses 0.18 kWh per hour, the PRO 0.30 kWh and the AIR 0.36 kWh. Plus new lamps once a year in continuous operation. There are no filter costs.

How is CLAIR installed?

ECO and PRO stand on castors and are simply plugged in. The AIR hangs on cables from the ceiling or on the wall.

Has its effectiveness been tested?

Yes. In 2022 an independent test laboratory in Germany measured on CLAIR: 99.4 % fewer active model viruses after one pass and over 85 % fewer germs in the room air after one hour.
