The Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Most Advanced Air Purifier.

What Makes the IQAir HealthPro Plus the Best?

Not All Air Cleaners are Created Equal… Efficiency statements of many air cleaners can look impressive at first glance, but the actual effectiveness of the air cleaner often does not match the claims made for the product. Air cleaners with HEPA filters often advertise efficiencies of 99.97% for particles of 0.3 microns and larger. (That is about 240 times smaller than the width of a human hair.) That sounds very impressive, but this claim is based on the theoretical efficiency of the HEPA filter material used and not on the actual clean air produced by the air cleaner. System leakage and inferior construction can greatly reduce the air filtration efficiency of an air cleaner, and independent testing indicates that many popularly selling air cleaners don’t even meet 10% of their label claims. That’s where IQAir is different. Advanced testing with laser particle counters allow us to determine the actual filtration efficiency of the HealthPro Plus. The HealthPro Plus’ high quality components and Swiss construction results in delivering the highest Total System Efficiency of any other air purifier. In fact, the HealthPro Plus is the first air purifier ever to achieve a “0” (zero) reading on a particle counter test. This means that advanced testing equipment can find no particles escaping the advanced HyperHEPA filtration.


The HyperHEPA Difference

Why the Smallest Particles are the Most Dangerous Most air cleaners are only designed and tested to filter particles 0.3 microns and larger, but this size range only makes up approximately 10% of all airborne particulates. A much more dangerous particle size that is not addressed by the majority of consumer air cleaners are ultra-fine particles. Numerous scientific studies have proven that ultra-fine particles are the most harmful to our health. Ultra-fine particles are defined as “those particles 0.1 microns in size and smaller.” These particles are in a size range that is much easier to inhale and absorb into our lungs than larger particulates. In the case of an ultra-fine airborne irritant such as cat allergens - this faster absorption rate can cause an almost instant allergic response. After being inhaled into the lungs, ultra-fine particles can be absorbed through lung tissue and enter the human blood stream. Recent studies by the American Heart Association and other leading medical research organizations agree that these ultra-fine particles can significantly increase the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This is because ultra-fine particles are small enough to penetrate a cell’s mitochondria (the center and brain of the cell) and cause cell damage. In fact, a recent study from the California Air Resources Board estimates that ultra-fine particles subtract 10 years from a person’s life.

Guaranteed to Eliminate the Most Dangerous Particles IQAir’s HyperHEPA filtration is tested and certified to filter down to 0.003 microns (the world’s smallest particle) with a guaranteed minimum efficiency of over 99.5%. This is 100 times smaller than what can be achieved by ordinary HEPA technology. (This is literally smaller than the smallest bacteria.) This means that IQAir’s patented HyperHEPA can remove all particle sizes, down to the very smallest particles that can be measured, and it does so at an efficiency rating that has never before been achieved in a home air cleaner. This is because the HealthPro Plus is the world’s first room air cleaner with filters certified under the most stringent filter standard EN (European Norm) 1822. In fact, IQAir’s HyperHEPA filter has received the official H12/H13 certification. This gives you the cleanest, freshest air that has ever been possible in your home.

IQAir: First in Air Quality

In 1963, the brothers Klaus and Manfred Hammes introduced the world’s first residential air cleaner. It was designed to help people who had coal burning stoves remove dust and soot from the air. Soon they discovered that people who had their air cleaners were experiencing better health. Manfred, a life-long allergy and asthma sufferer, was the first person to benefit from his own machine.

From Our Family to Yours

Today, the air cleaning legacy continues in the second generation of the Hammes family. Frank Hammes, President of IQAir, is responsible for revolutionizing the world of high-performance room air cleaners. His brother, Jens Hammes, works with doctors and scientists around the world to develop new uses for air cleaning technology. Klaus Hammes, IQAir’s founder, can still be found on the production line inspecting air cleaners. Our Swiss quality assurance provides you with the very best air cleaner you’ll ever own.


The HealthPro Plus Removes the Most Allergens and Household Pollutants In order for an air cleaner to effectively help reduce symptoms of allergies and asthma – it needs to remove significant amounts of the airborne allergens and pollutants. Many people have purchased air cleaners only to be disappointed that the device actually seemed to do little or nothing to improve their health. This is because most air cleaners cannot reduce the indoor concentrations of the airborne irritants that cause allergies and asthma. In contrast, the HealthPro Plus’ ultra-high efficiency filtration is so powerful, it can remove as much as 100 times the amount of air pollutants and allergens as some commonly sold air cleaners. In fact, it is the HealthPro Plus’ outstanding performance at removing high concentrations of airborne pollution particles, chemicals, and gases that has earned it the reputation among doctors of being “…the air cleaner that works!” There are thousands of substances that can create a toxic soup of indoor air pollution and allergens inside your home. The HealthPro Plus removes more of these harmful substances than any other air cleaner. Pet Dander: Size 0.003-25 microns. Pet dander is the old skin flakes and fur that your pet sheds. Pet dander is a known asthma and allergy trigger. Pet dander can be found anywhere in a home: floors, carpets, walls, furniture, bedding, ceilings, and is so small it can even become attached to your clothing even if you do not own a pet. Common Flu Virus: Size 0.005-0.3 microns. The flu is an airborne virus. People carrying the virus can be contagious for 1 to 4 days before they show symptoms. High efficiency air cleaning is an important tool to reduce the risk of infection. Pollen: Size 0.35-250 microns. One of the most common allergens is pollen. It affects your nose, eyes, and mouth making it difficult to breath. Most pollen that produces allergic reactions is from trees, grasses, and weeds. Mold Spores: Size 1-75 microns. Mold spores can be found anywhere in a home, inside walls, on floors and ceilings, and as they reproduce they can contribute significantly to creating an unhealthy environment. This is because the mold itself can contain toxins that can trigger asthma attacks and allergic symptoms. Dust Mites: Size 0.003-25 microns. Dust mites are tiny insects that thrive in warm, humid, and dark conditions like mattresses, carpets, sheets, pillows, and upholstery. Dustmites themselves do not cause allergic reactions, however their ultra-fine particle dung-pellets become airborne and cause breathing difficulties in sensitive people. Household Cleaners and Chemicals (gases): Many people develop sensitivities to chemicals and gases inside their homes. These chemicals and gases can come from household cleaners, chemicals used to manufacture furniture, carpets, building materials, and many other sources.


How the HealthPro Plus Works

Air Outlet




Air Intake

Real People, Real Results

Lisa Whiting and son “Brant is a very severe, what they term a very severe uncontrolled asthmatic. He has been in and out of the Intensive Care Unit. He actually had a cardiac and respiratory arrest from asthma. I checked into a lot of different air purifiers and finally settled on the IQAir. It has changed our lives. Instead of waking up with nightly asthma attacks – he has had virtually no asthma attacks.”

Air is drawn in at the bottom of the air cleaner and passes through a series of filters. 100% filtered air is then expelled out of the top of the air cleaner. 1

Powerful Pre-filtration: Pre-Max Pre-Filter Eliminates micro-particles such as pollen, pet dander and mold spores.


The Most Advanced Gas & Odor Filter: V-5 Cell with Dual Filtration Technology

Pelletized Chemisorption Destroys harmful chemicals, such as formaldehyde, by an oxidation process inside a chemically active alumina pellet.


The Most Effective Particulate Filtration: HyperHEPA® Filtration Eliminates ultra-fine particles, such as bacteria, viruses and combustion particles from automobiles and smoke, through a tightly woven, nano-fiber structure.

Granular Activated Carbon Adsorption Eliminates volatile organic compounds (VOC), which are responsible for odors.

The unique design of the HealthPro Plus helps to prevent shortcutting, which reduces the effectiveness of most air cleaners. Shortcutting occurs when the air outlet and air intake of an air cleaner are positioned too close to one another. This allows the newly filtered air from the air cleaner to be immediately re-filtered, wasting precious air cleaning capacity that should be used to filter polluted room air. With its air intake and air outlet at opposite ends, the HealthPro Plus virtually eliminates shortcutting.

Yewki Tomita “I am an elite athlete (gymnast) and being at my best at all times is crucial. I am very sensitive to environmental allergens, including trees, weeds, molds, dust and pets. I train two times a day, and I need to be at peak performance every time. After I started using IQAir, I saw an immediate improvement in my breathing and sleeping, and also my mental clarity improved. IQAir gives me a competitive edge that I will use for the rest of my life, even after my gymnastics career.”
