How Verified Healthier Air Supports Senior Care Environments
At Airmid Healthgroup, we work with manufacturers to scientifically verify claims about indoor air quality, giving organizations and consumers confidence in the products they use every day. One example of this process in action is the DELPHIN T8, manufactured by PROAIR GmbH, which has been awarded the Verified Healthier Air™ mark following rigorous independent testing.
Haus Hubertus, a senior and nursing care center in the Allgäu region of Germany, is known for its welcoming environment, comfortable residences, and thoughtful amenities designed to support wellbeing. High-quality care environments such as Haus Hubertus demonstrate that a commitment to superior living standards includes not only comfort and cleanliness but also the active management of indoor air quality for residents and staff.
Verified Healthier Air™ Independent Testing, Trusted Results
To achieve the Verified Healthier Air mark, the DELPHIN T8 underwent extensive scientific evaluation at Airmid Healthgroup’s accredited aerobiology laboratory. Testing demonstrated:
- A 99.8% reduction in airborne MS2 virus under controlled conditions.
- Effective reduction of airborne and surface allergens (including Der p 1 and Fel d 1) during operation compared to control runs.
This independent verification confirms that the device can make a meaningful contribution to cleaner indoor air under controlled laboratory conditions, an important factor for health and wellbeing in care facilities.
Putting Science into Practice at Haus Hubertus
At Haus Hubertus, cleanliness is central to daily life. For Head of Housekeeping, Daniela Kempter, the DELPHIN T8 quickly proved its value:
“We first cleaned the dining hall with a standard commercial vacuum cleaner and then went over it again with the DELPHIN and the electric brush. It was amazing how much dirt the DELPHIN still pulled out of the carpet – you could see it clearly in the water tank.”
Housekeeping staff have also noted how the device supports their work across multiple applications. Karin Weber, a cleaning specialist at Haus Hubertus, explained:
“I keep discovering new ways we can use the DELPHIN. Carpets are cleaner, and stains can be removed quickly and easily.”
According to staff, the versatility of the device (cleaning carpets, upholstery, radiators, and more) has helped the team maintain high standards of hygiene while also supporting cleaner indoor environments for residents and staff.
As Daniela Kempter summarized:
“With the DELPHIN T8 we ensure cleanliness, hygiene, and a better indoor air quality – this device fits perfectly with the needs of our seniors.
Why Verified Healthier Air™ Matters
For nursing and senior care facilities, maintaining a healthy environment is so important. Indoor air plays a central role not only in resident wellbeing but also in supporting staff who spend long hours in these spaces. The Verified Healthier Air™ mark gives facilities reassurance that a product’s performance claims have been independently validated.
At Haus Hubertus, staff report that the DELPHIN T8 supports their cleaning routines and contributes to maintaining cleaner indoor environments, demonstrating how independently tested technologies can complement daily operations in real-world care settings.
Recognizing Innovation
PROAIR GmbH, the manufacturer of the DELPHIN, has a long history of innovation in cleaning technologies. Their decision to pursue the Verified Healthier Air mark reflects a commitment to transparency and to ensuring their performance claims are supported by credible, third-party testing.
As Bernhard Grassinger, CEO of PROAIR/DELPHIN, explained:
“When I encountered the Verified Healthier Air mark, it was clear that this verification aligns perfectly with our mission to showcase the effectiveness of our DELPHIN T8 air and room cleaner. Just as we prioritize quality in our food and drinking water, the air we breathe is equally vital to our health.”
Conclusion
The experience at Haus Hubertus illustrates how products that have been scientifically tested and independently verified can make a measurable difference in real-world environments. The DELPHIN T8, carrying the Verified Healthier Air™ mark, combines rigorous laboratory testing with practical application, supporting both cleaner indoor air and effective cleaning in senior care facilities.
