Proven performance. Independent validation.
Surgically Clean Air is built on third-party testing, regulatory certification, and the longest-running independent dental product evaluation in the United States.
Gordon J. Christensen Clinicians Report®
The Clinicians Report® is an independent, non-profit dental product evaluation organization that has been testing dental products since 1976. They surveyed practicing dentists using Surgically Clean Air in their operatories. 91% recommend SCA to other practices.

Testing & Validation
Who is the Clinicians Report®?
The Gordon J. Christensen Clinicians Report® is an independent, non-profit dental product evaluation organization founded in 1976. They test products in real practices and publish results without manufacturer influence — the gold standard for unbiased dental product evaluation.
What did the Clinicians Report® evaluation find?
Practicing dentists who use Surgically Clean Air units in their operatories were surveyed. 91% recommend SCA to other practices. Specific feedback covered patient comfort during aerosol-generating procedures, ease of filter maintenance, and durability under continuous-duty operation.
How is the 99.97% capture spec verified?
HEPA-Rx media is tested per EN 1822 standards, capturing 99.97% (and typically ≥99.99%) of particles at the Most Penetrating Particle Size (~0.3 microns). Media is tested individually at the factory before assembly into each unit.
Are SCA units MERV-rated?
MERV is an HVAC duct-filter rating, not designed for portable air purifiers. HEPA-Rx exceeds the highest standard MERV rating (MERV 16) by an order of magnitude. ATOMIKAIR® uses MERV-13 + carbon as the prefilter stage in its industrial configuration.
