FAQ
In order to receive the best protection, the manufacturer recommends placing your face as close as possible to the air outlet. Ensure that your nose and mouth are within the air outlet. Correctly aligning your face to the air outlet at a close distance is important.
The manufacturer also recommends using the device as an additional layer of protection for users protecting themselves from COVID-19, so it should be used together with a fit-tested N95 respirator whenever possible.
1 second after powering on the device.
Yes. Testing from an independent laboratory showed that AirFanta 4Lite (standard: GB/T 34012-2017, test report: KY202302335) removed over 99.5% of the H1N1 influenza virus. The AirFanta mini uses the same type of filtration material as the AirFanta 4Lite, albeit in a different shape in order to fit the smaller form factor.
As for SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19), based on findings from multiple studies, there is strong evidence that the virus resides in exhaled aerosols in the 1 to 5 micron size range. AirFanta’s high efficiency filters can remove 99.4% to 100% of viral aerosols in this range in a single pass.
Our findings from both H1N1 and SARS-Cov2 (COVID-19) should also apply to other kinds of airborne viruses as well, as the size of viral aerosols exhaled from an infectious person doesn’t change much regardless of the type of virus.
Yes, it can filter allergens, so it should be able to reduce allergy symptoms when the device is used according to the instructions.
A fit testing advocate performed a quantitative fit test on the AirFanta 4Lite (another laminar air purifier that uses the same type of filtration material as AirFanta mini) with an ambient particle counting device. In the test, the AirFanta 4Lite had a fit factor of 7.4 (equivalent to 85.92% protection) when set at the recommended speed, assuming the user correctly positioned their face towards the center of the air outlet.
Studies that conducted quantitative fit testing on face masks (worn by common laymen without any modifications) found that they typically have a fit factor between 1 and 2. Assuming the average fit factor is 1.5, that is equivalent to 33.4% protection.
Yes. The device does not emit ozone or ions, so it can be safely used on an airplane.
Up to 10 hours. We recommend connecting the USB-C charging cable to a fast-charging 20 W AC adapter (sold separately).
You should replace the filter every 150 to 200 hours of use. The filter lifespan largely depends on environmental conditions. For example, you may need to replace it more often when using it under environmental conditions such as haze or wildfire smoke. Visually inspect the condition of the filter (if it looks black or appears to be full of dust, it should be replaced!) if you are unsure. Filtration efficiency and overall protection will be reduced when a dirty filter is not replaced.
No. AirFanta mini is meant to be a device to personally protect an individual. It will not be effective at cleaning the air in the room. You should use a room air purifier with a high CADR (clean air delivery rate), such as AirFanta 3Pro, instead.
Yes, but you should use it away from the room air purifier. This is because the turbulent airflow from the room air purifier could interfere with the laminar airflow of the device and reduce protection.
The manufacturer recommends using AirFanta mini away from wind sources, such as ceiling fans, electric fans, air conditioners, room air purifiers, and outdoor wind. This is because the turbulent airflow from wind sources could interfere with the laminar airflow of the device and reduce protection.
Yes. Local warranty lasting 1 year is included with this product.
