Le test a été réalisé par un laboratoire viral spécialisé de l’Institut d’hygiène et de microbiologie du Dr Brill + Partner GmbH.

As we promised, everyone with an Ultrastream will receive the VirusGuard technology when they order their next filter replacement, and anyone buying one new will have it in their brand new UltraStream. We never stop working on improving UltraStream. Maybe that’s why...
