MACH is a new air purification reactor designed to improve general environmental conditions across healthcare setting. Suitable for acute hospitals, community healthcare facilities, clinics, waiting areas, treatments rooms, staff areas and support spaces, MACH provides an additional layer of environmental air treatment where clean, controlled indoor air matters most.

Already deployed in demanding healthcare scenarios, MACH has been used to support the control of a chemical incident and to help manage outbreaks of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) within acute healthcare environments.

Introducing MACH: a new breed of air purification reactor technology. 52% reduction, up to 88% reduction, 7-in-1 multi-action.

Introducing MACH

A new breed of air purification reactor technology

  • >87.5% Bacteria & Mould Reduction
  • Dynamic Microbial Load Decontamination
  • VOC and Odour Removal
  • Transforms Contaminated Air Itself into a Sterilant
  • Advanced Environmental Air Treatment for Healthcare Settings.
  • Cleaner, Safer Air for Healthcare Environments
  • Designed By Medical Physics, Decontamination, Estates & Authorising Engineer Professionals
  • Reducing Anti-microbial Resistance

Continuous Microbial Reintroduction: staff, patients and visitors naturally introduce new airborne microbial load as they move through the healthcare environment. MACH provides continuous non depleting decontamination air treatment to help address this dynamic challenge.

How MACH works

VPER: Volumetric Photonic Environmental Remediation

At the heart of MACH is VPER (Volumetric Photonic Environmental Remediation) technology; a sealed photonic reactor that uses a diffuse, multi-pass light field to drive non-thermal oxidative reactions.

Powerful multi-action air treatment

  1. 1Germicidal
  2. 2Sporicidal
  3. 3Anti-mould
  4. 4PM removal
  5. 5VOC breakdown
  6. 6Odour removal
  7. 7Bioaerosol neutralisation

The MACH solution

Cleaner air, safer spaces, better outcomes.

Supports infection prevention

Helps reduce airborne environmental risk as part of a wider ventilation, cleaning and infection prevention strategy.

Helps improve indoor air quality

Targets airborne contaminants, odours and pollutants that can affect comfort, confidence and environmental conditions.

Rapid deployment

Can be introduced into priority areas where additional air treatment is required.

Low disruption

Provides supplementary air treatment without major building works in many applications.

Proven in real healthcare pressures

Used during a chemical incident response and in RSV breakout management within acute healthcare settings.

Designed for healthcare applications

Where MACH helps

Removal of: Bacteria, Germs, Odour, Mould, VOCs.

SettingPotential benefit
Acute wards and baysAdditional environmental air treatment during periods of increased respiratory infection risk.
Emergency departments and assessment areasSupports improved air quality in high throughput, variable-risk environments.
Outpatient and waiting areasHelps improve comfort and confidence for patients, visitors and staff.
Isolation support spacesProvides supplementary air treatment alongside local infection prevention procedures.
Plant rooms, support areas and incident locationsCan support environmental management during incidents where airborne pollutants or odours are present.

MACH is a supplementary solution that works alongside HTM-compliant ventilation, cleaning and IPC best practice.

A trusted addition to your infection prevention strategy. MACH does not replace ventilation systems or local infection prevention and control procedures.

Proven in practice

Deployed on Ward 42

MACH units were installed to complement the existing ventilation strategy.

NHS site live testing

In live NHS clinical testing, MACH achieved a verified 52% reduction in airborne microbial load across active ward environments, significantly outperforming the 10 to 30% reductions typically associated with conventional HEPA, UV, PCO and ionisation technologies.

Importantly, in enclosed clinical rooms, MACH delivered reductions of up to 88%, reducing airborne microbial burden to near-sterile levels.

These independently evidenced results demonstrate exceptional environmental performance under real-world healthcare conditions, including environments subject to continuous microbial reintroduction through staff, patient and visitor movement. Where conventional air-treatment technologies can struggle to deliver meaningful reductions, MACH demonstrates a substantially higher level of performance, positioning the technology firmly within the top performance tier for healthcare air treatment.
