The testing conducted at airmid proved that the products were an effective barrier to allergens and also resistant to water penetration under defined laboratory conditions. Through a long term study in airmid healthgroup‘s passive allergen chamber, the rate of house dust mite allergen accumulation on the outer surface of the encasement was determined, and it was shown that the allergen could be removed by washing in a domestic washing machine. From a quality perspective, the encasement was shown to be able to withstand washing at the frequency indicated on the care instructions. Furthermore, the product was tested to ensure that it did not contain any chemicals at levels above which they are known to cause allergic or irritant responses.
