Airborne transmission is a major source of nosocomial infections since microbes can remain suspended in the air for extended periods of time. According to major research articles, over 35% of nosocomial infections can be transmitted through the air.
To manage these transmissions in critical areas (or where source contamination is present), facility personnel use SAM’s mobile air disinfection units to remove airborne contaminants, hospital pathogens, airborne spores and odors of all types.
The SAM Solution
First Stage Filtration
SAM uses HEPA first phase particulate filtration to remove contaminants larger than 0.3 microns.
UV-C Air Disinfection
Pathogens smaller than 0.3 microns are captured and eliminated by SAM's patented UV-C Air Suspension System long enough for thorough air disinfection.
Continuous Air Scrubbing
While SAM runs, it maintains up to 99.9995% pathogen efficacy and as much as 70% particulate reduction, with odor and VOC removal.
Disinfects Entire Room in Less Than 60 Minutes
To truly purify and disinfect air, HEPA filtration alone is not enough. That’s why 0.3-micron particulate removal is only the beginning of our patented UV-C pathogen elimination process. One SAM unit kills up to 99.9995% of all germs within 60 minutes in large-volume, fast-moving air.
SAM can do this for the entire room in under 60 minutes and has been proven consistent independent of existing HVAC systems.

Why Choose SAM 400?
Air Disinfection Efficacy
99.9995% pathogen kill rate
After first phase HEPA particulate filtration, pathogens smaller than 0.3 microns pass into SAM’s patented UV-C Air Suspension Chamber.
SAM’s Air Suspension System “captures” germs close enough and long enough for complete pathogen elimination – laboratory validated up to 99.9995% killing power!
Measured with strict testing protocol
SAM is validated in two of the nation’s only EPA Guideline full size (10’ x 10’ x 8’) aerosol disinfection device testing chambers. It has been rigorously tested in third party nationally recognized aerosol laboratories.
MicroChem Laboratories and EDL Laboratories have shown conclusive proof of up to a 99.9995% kill rate of viruses, bacteria, mold, and odor elimination in under 60 minutes.
Particulate control
Fundamental air management begins with particulate reduction, and so does SAM. Utilizing HEPA first phase filtration, our unique 360 degree high volume air induction process removes particulates (< 0.3 micron size) in a standard room’s air on average of 70%.
Large scale particulate reduction is noted in minutes, then maintained constantly regardless of room traffic and fluctuations, or inconsistencies in the HVAC system.
Odor & VOC removal
Building on technologies from the Legal Cannabis Indoor Growing Industry, SAM uses an exclusive manufacturing process to enriched carbon substrates for ODOR and VOC removal.
This exclusively treated substrate system is efficient, long-lasting, and highly resistant to moisture saturation. Government hospitals and private medical facilities across the nation are proving their effectiveness in real-life situations every day!
Hospital Friendly
Patient & Staff friendly
SAM provides clean air safely, efficiently, and quietly via
- No-byproduct output
- 360-degree UV-C germ elimination
- Continuous, uniform airflow
This means a safer work environment for staff, a safer medical environment for patients, and low-maintenance (practically unnoticeable) setup and maintenance for technicians.
Continuous UV-C air scrubbing with NO ozone or byproducts
A single SAM unit can provide whole-room UV-C air scrubbing in less than an hour. SAM maintains high levels of particulate, pathogen, and odor removal continuously, providing high rates of disinfected CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute).

Air Exchange CFM
Facility Engineer approved
Facility directors realize the significance of airborne transmissions. To manage these transmissions in critical areas or where source contamination is present, facility personnel use SAM’s mobile air disinfect units to eliminate air borne contaminants, hospital pathogens, airborne spores and odors of all types.
SAM’s 400 CFM high-volume air movement can increase ACPH (air exchanges per hour) in normal-sized rooms by as much as 4 additional air changes.
Works alongside HVAC in hospitals
SAM’s 360-degree airflow process provides low-pressure, viscous air movement. This process creates continuous, large-scale muted air-flow vortices throughout the room. Thanks to these subtle vortices and their complex interactions, airflow goes unnoticed by both patients and staff.
This process allows for uninterrupted air disinfection 24/7, even while the room is occupied. SAM’s efficiencies are laboratory-proven to remain constant regardless of inconsistencies in existing HVAC systems.
Neutral pressure with no temperature or humidity changes
SAM provides high volume air disinfection at the source with absolutely zero effect on negative or positive air pressure. SAM can be used in either negative or positive air pressure situations, and will not affect air temperature or humidity.
This means uninterrupted air disinfection 24/7–even while the room is occupied.
High volume air disinfection
SAM uses proprietary technology to disinfect large volumes of fast moving air.
You can calculate how quickly the SAM 400 CFM (cubic feet per minute) disinfection system will clean the air in a room by:
- Calculating the volume of your room in cubic feet (length x width x height)
- Multiple the room’s cubic feet by 60 (60 minutes in an hour)
- Dividing this number by 400 (SAM’s CFM)
SAM’s high volume CFM capabilities contribute to Air Exchange Rates (ACH) in the room. The higher the ACH the greater amount of air is being exchanged (disinfected) per hour.
SAM’s 400 CFM can help improve ACH dramatically depending on the room size and existing HVAC conditions, with ZERO effect on air flow, pressurization, temperature, or humidity.
