Real-world performance results:
In order to further validate the Halo's
efficiency at mitigating the risk of airborne
viral transmission, we tested the Halo within
an isolation room of a confirmed COVID 19
positive patient against an adjacent isolation
room of a confirmed COVID 19 patient of
which both shared the same air handling
system. Each room was swabbed at the floor,
window surface and at the return registers
for SARS-CoV-2 using the gold standard
of a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test.
The results as (seen below) provide us with
some key pieces of information, such as;
Viral shedding of each patient and reduction
of present SRA-CoV-2 RNA. Based on these
results it is clear the patient in room 120 (with
the Halo) had significant viral shedding as they
were at the beginning of isolation, whereas
the patient in room 118 (without HALO) viral
shedding was minimal as they were at the end
of isolation. However, even with the significant
amount of shedding from patients in room
120, there was still no detectable RNA found
at the return register, or within the airstream
further solidifying the performance of the
Halo at mitigating airborne viral loads and
concentrations. Antithetical to these results are
the results in room 118, where SARS-CoV-02
RNA was present at the return register and
within the airstream even without detectable
RNA present anywhere else
within the room.
