Uv Flu Technologies (UVFT)

Description:

UV Flu Technologies, Inc. was organized under the laws of the State of Nevada on April 4, 2006 under the name Northwest Chariots, Inc. On November 12, 2009 it merged with its wholly-owned subsidiary, UV Flu Technologies, Inc., for the purposes of effecting a name change to UV Flu Technologies, Inc. It is currently a development stage company focused in the air purification industry, and evaluating opportunities for expansion within that industry through acquisition or other strategic relationships. The Company's products safely kill over 99% of airborne bacteria, including swine flu. It fills the need for improved air purification systems in the workplace and at home with proprietary technology utilizing high-energy ultraviolet radiation (UV) inside a 'killing chamber' which destroys airborne bacteria, deactivates allergens, viruses, spores and mold. It plans to develop and market products, which would improve indoor air quality effectively, efficiently, economically and do so in an environmentally friendly way. The UV 400 Viraguard line would be its lead product. The UV 400 Viraguard portable model is 32 inches tall and uses a 6 inch diameter cartridge. The second product currently being designed is approximately 1/3rd smaller and would use a 4.5 inch diameter cartridge (see rendering below). For the U.S. market, all portable models operate on 110/120volt current and do not require any special wiring. In each product family, there is a design provision for 220/240volt operation, which allows for adaptation to international standards or use in heavy-duty commercial applications. Each unit is designed to run continuously and would have a minimum active life of 5 years. Annual cartridge replacement is required to ensure that the unit maintains adequate germicidal UV strength. Recommended replacement frequency assumes 24 hour per day (24/7) usage. Because the units run with less resistance than traditional HEPA air filters, the fan is smaller, resulting in a much quieter product. Depending on room size, each unit would recycle air in a room at the rate of 5 to 10 times per hour. It would focus initially on the commercial market, targeting medical, hospitality and commercial property customers. The Company would sell and lease its products directly or through distributors to medical accounts including hospitals, doctor and dentist offices, clinics and nursing homes. The Company's products compete broadly with other current companies offering air purification products, including companies that offer UV air purification products. The Company's products are subject to regulation by numerous government agencies, including the FDA and comparable foreign agencies.
