Chennai: Eureka Forbes has partnered with Bengaluru-based scientist, Rajah Vijay Kumar of SHYCOCAN, to manufacture a device named Forbes Coronaguard.
A press release here said, this innovative PMEE technology âphysically attenuatesâ the homing mechanism on the virus and prevents infectivity, eliminating the bridge between the virus and the human cells.
Eureka Forbes has announced that the air disinfection efficiency of âForbes Coronaguardâ has been tested and proven by the Indian Institute of Technology, Guwahati.
The testing of air disinfection efficiency was conducted against Avian Coronavirus which is of the same family as SARS COV-2.
The experiments conducted by IIT, Guwahati, housing equipment as per BSL II specifications, have proven that Forbes Coronaguard has a notable effect on the inactivation of Avian Coronavirus within the test chamber. The report from the said test conclusively proved the air disinfection efficiency of Forbes Coronaguard.
IIT Guwahati also conducted a âcell toxicity studyâ to establish safety of Forbes Coronaguard in human cells. The report has again conclusively proven the non-toxic nature of this device.
Shashank Sinha, chief transformation officer and head marketing, Eureka Forbes said, “Any new to the world scientific innovation is bound to attract scrutiny and questions especially from the scientific community. Eureka Forbes is confident of its claims with necessary research documents from domestic and international research institutions”.
Forbes Coronaguard from Eureka Forbes has received multiple other certifications/ approvals on – Viricidal and Disinfection Efficiency; Cellular viability and toxicity study to confirm human and animal safety; Electrical Safety; Ozone Emission and Electromagnetic interference (EMI) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) testing.
