Frequently Asked Questions

Testing & Validation

What is the Clinicians Report?

The Clinicians Report (CR) is the original independent dental product testing organization, founded by Dr. Gordon J. Christensen in 1976. CR is funded exclusively by dental practitioners—not manufacturers—ensuring unbiased evaluations. Over 450 clinical evaluators in 19 countries test more than 750 product brands annually. CR's evaluation of Surgically Clean Air systems resulted in a 91% approval rating.

What certifications do Surgically Clean Air products have?

Surgically Clean Air products hold UL (Underwriters Laboratories) listing, ETL (Intertek) certification, CSA (Canadian Standards Association) approval, CARB (California Air Resources Board) compliance, and CE marking for European markets. These certifications verify electrical safety, performance claims, and compliance with air quality regulations.

What does 99.99% particle capture at 0.1 microns mean?

This means our HEPA-Rx filters capture 99.99% of particles as small as 0.1 microns (one ten-thousandth of a millimeter). For context, standard HEPA filters are rated at 0.3 microns. At 0.1 microns, we capture ultrafine particles including virus-carrying aerosols, bacteria, and the smallest allergen fragments that pass through standard HEPA filters.

How many air changes per hour do SCA units provide?

Air changes per hour (ACH) depends on room size and unit model. In a standard 10×10×9 foot operatory (900 cubic feet), the COBALT® 2×2 ceiling unit delivers approximately 28 air changes per hour. The portable JADE® 2.0 delivers 6+ ACH in rooms up to 850 square feet. ASHRAE recommends 6 ACH minimum for spaces with elevated infection risk.

Is there independent testing beyond Clinicians Report?

Yes. In addition to Clinicians Report clinical evaluation, Surgically Clean Air products undergo testing by UL (electrical safety), Intertek/ETL (performance verification), and CARB (ozone emissions compliance). Filter efficiency is independently tested to verify 99.99% capture rates. All certifications and test reports are available upon request.
