How to use the GermShield™ function?
When using the air purifier for the first time, the GermShield function is ON by default. You have the option to switch it OFF manually on your air purifier or via the Blueair app. When GermShield is ON, it will operate automatically when necessary, even when the air purifier is switched off.
How does the Germshield™ function work?
The GermShield™ technology proactively monitors the air in the room to assess if the room is prone to germ growth. When the device senses germ-prone conditions, GermShield starts operating by using a low air draft and plasma charging (releasing a negative charge inside the air purifier) to kill viruses and bacteria* on the filters and ensure no new growth of germs.
*Deactivation of bacteria (Staphylococcus Albus) and virus (MS2 bacteriophage). Blueair air purifiers have not been tested against Coronavirus, and Blueair does not claim to capture, remove, or kill SARS-CoV-2
