Title:
V Treat: A Wearable Pressurised Air Purifying Breather with SARS CoV2 Deactivation (Wet Unit) 
Value Proposition:

To provide a safe, breathable solution to medicos while working in high-risk areas, including COVID wards, OTs, OPDs, etc., CSIO, in partnership with the industry Ideamines, has developed a wearable pressurized air purification device named V-Treat, for front liners utilizing HEPA, UVC and photocatalytic filter technology. The optimized UVC dosage ensures 99.9 % deactivation of SARS-CoV-2. Further, the UV-C light-activated PCO catalyst ensures further deactivation and safety of the air delivered for breathing.  The device is tested for UVC safety by NPL and SARS-CoV 2 viricidal activity by CSIR-IMTECH. It provides SARS CoV-2 free air while wearing PPE kits in COVID wards/OPDs.

Summary Application:

The device can be primarily been used in hospitals including wards, and OPDs, as well is extendable to BSL environments to ensure the safety of persons working in high-risk environments.

Advantages:

Wearable with PPE Kits, long lasting for 6-8 hours, 3 tier air treatment, Easy to carry
