Purify O3 Elite Instruction Manual

How does Purify O3 Elite work?

The Purify O3 Elite unit generates ozone by introducing an electrical discharge through ambient (dry) air that is cycled through the machine.  This process creates an unstable gas, known as ozone, that is powerful oxidant with the ability to kill bacteria and germs.  The ozone is then dispersed into the travel/sanitizing bag or enclosed container and binds with bacteria to effectively disinfect up to 99.99%.  Ozone naturally breaks down quickly into oxygen and will fully disperse within 1 ½ hours of its production.

What is ozone?

Ozone (O3) is both a naturally occurring and man-made unstable gas, also known as “activated oxygen”.  Man-made ozone is formed when an electrical charge is applied to dry, ambient air.  By doing so, the air is broken down into separate molecules and atoms.  When the separated oxygen molecules re-connect with each other, they combine into O3 or ozone.

How does ozone disinfection work?

The utilization of ozone as a disinfectant is a common practice in hospital disinfection, public water purification, food process and hotel/office housekeeping industries.  The third oxygen atom present in ozone makes it extremely reactive.  As such, ozone will readily attach itself to other molecules, like those found in bacteria and viruses.  When the bacteria/virus binds with ozone, the chemical structure of the virus is altered – in essence the introduction of ozone to these compounds breaks down their cellular walls, eliminating the ability of the bacteria or virus to survive.  This process is called oxidation.

Is ozone safe?

Yes, ozone is safe when utilized properly in a well-ventilated room.  In 2003, the FDA cleared devices using Ozone (activated oxygen) for sanitizing use. The plastic tote or travel/sanitizing case should always be fully zippered shut when using Purify O3 Elite and allowed to sit, undisturbed for 90 minutes after the sanitizing cycle is completed to allow for the residual ozone to dissipate.  Direct exposure to ozone is not recommended, as ozone is a known airway irritant and prolonged exposure can cause damage to the lungs.  Accidental inhalation may lead to minor symptoms including a mild headache, coughing, or burning of eyes in very sensitive individuals.

Do I need a prescription to purchase Purify O3 Elite?

No, Purify O3 Elite is a non-prescription ozone disinfector.  It is not covered by commercial medical insurance.  Purify O3 Elite is HSA/FSA eligible.

How long does charging take?

The Purify O3 Elite will charge from an empty battery to full capacity in just over two hours.  You can expect to get an average of 4 to 5 sanitation cycles on one full battery.
