"claims of value in preventing or treating diseases, or providing any other health protection, whether expressed or implied, are not acceptable. Claims must clearly indicate the mitigating nature of the activity, such as "Temporarily reduces the number of airborne bacteria."" "The label directions for use of air sanitizers must state: That application be made in closed spaces ("Close all doors and windows; close air vents or turn off air conditioners.")."
Whole Room Disinfection Devices – Microchem Laboratory
"A scientist or team of scientists, depending upon the size of the study, will be assigned to the project and begin to work directly with the study sponsor to define parameters or develop a protocol if necessary. Each device is unique and should be tested in a manner that best simulates actual use. At Microchem, the scientists strive to provide innovative strategies to accomplish any testing objective."
