Healthy Business Tips: One Manhattan Dental and the importance of an air purifier in the dental office
Healthy smiles start with healthy air
One Manhattan Dental in New York, New York, is a dental office featuring a dedicated team of four prosthodontists—professionals who practice both general dentistry and specialized care. These dental professionals are well known in their field, having even appeared on WPIX last fall to share their tips for healthy oral hygiene. Most recently, they’ve been encouraging patients to safely continue their appointments amidst the pandemic. That’s why they’ve installed a Coway Airmega in their own dental office.
“Our goal is to create the safest environment for our team and patients. Air management is an essential part of this.” – Dr. Robert Raimondi, D.D.S.
Taking care of patients in more ways than one
Dr. Raimondi emphasizes the necessity of clean air in his team’s line of work. “The nature of our profession and the act of taking care of our patients introduces aerosols and droplets into the environment.” In the age of COVID-19, it’s more important than ever to capture these particles, and the four-stage air filtration system of the Coway Airmega AP-1512HH does just that. A pre-filter, an odour filter, a true HEPA filter and a bipolar device all work together to reduce unwanted airborne contaminants.
By introducing this air purifier into their space and by tripling the time between appointments, the One Manhattan Dental team is helping patients breathe easier.
State-of-the-art air purification
“We have 20 HEPA air filters positioned throughout our practice in every space. Knowing the air is clean helps us to be focused on the patients’ needs.”
The Coway Airmega AP-1512HH can create and maintain pure air in rooms up to 361 square feet, just like the ones in One Manhattan Dental’s office. It also features an energy-saving eco mode, automatic speed control based on air particles and an intuitive air quality indicator. Plus, it will let you know when it’s time to change the filter. Learn how you can generate and maintain pure air of your own to enjoy—with our line of Airmega products.

1 Airmega air purifiers have been proven to trap dust, pollen, dander in the air based on KCL(Korea Conformity Laboratories) testing. They have been tested according to the Korea Air Cleaning Association standard (SPS-KACA 002-132:2022 Modified) to measure the 0.01㎛ size of particle removal rate. It was tested on maximum airflow speed in normal room temperature and humidity conditions. The performance may vary in the actual living environment of customers. Tested with Airmega Aim, 50, 100, 150, Tower AP-1216L, Mighty AP-1512HH, MightyS AP-1512HHS, 200M, Icon, 230, 240, 250, 250S, 300, 300S, 350, 400, 400S, 450, ProX

4 Tested by KCL(Korea Conformity Laboratories) according to SPS-KACA002-132:2022, showed result of over 99.5% removal rate of common household gases including Ammonia, Acetaldehyde, Acetic acid, Formaldehyde, Toluene, Benzene, Nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), and Sulfur dioxide (SO₂) within 30 minutes. Results may vary in different environments and not all odors or gas particles may be removed. Tested with Airmega MightyS AP-1512HHS, 250S, 300S, 400S, 350, 450
5 Test conducted using Coway Allergen filter media (5×5 cm) placed in a polyethylene bag. The allergen solution and sample were immersed in 2 mL of phosphate buffer (100 ng/mL) prior to the reaction and heat-sealed to specimen size. The reaction was maintained at 4°C for 24 hours. Nichinichi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. conducted the test using ELISA to measure allergen concentration. Results may vary in actual product usage environments. Tested with Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH, 200M
6 Removal rates of Ammonia (NH₃) and Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S) were tested in a 1 m³ chamber under EL608:2023 conditions for 30 minutes. Gas Detector Tubes were used for measurement, and testing was conducted by KCL (Korea Conformity Laboratories). Results may vary in actual product usage environments. Tested with Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH, 200M
7 Reduction rates of Naphthalene, Sulfur Dioxide, and Nitrogen Dioxide were tested using the Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH in 1㎥ chamber, following JEM-1467:2015 standards. Tests were conducted by Intertek. Actual performance may vary depending on the living environment. Tested with Airmega Mighty AP-1512HH, 200M
9 Tested by KCL(Korea Conformity Laboratories) according to SPS-KACA002-132:2022.
