EXTON, PA What if your face mask had a special fabric shield that could micro-zap viruses when they got it wet?
That is a layman s description of what the AVF Shield and Cartridge System does. The protection system uses a patented electroceutical microcell technology that creates an electrical charge when wet, rendering viruses inactive, according to Ramshield, Inc. of Exton.
The AVF System™ for COVID-19 has not yet been evaluated by the FDA or other regulatory agencies, but the FDA has granted it Emergency Use Authorization (EUA), for use as source control by the general public as well as by healthcare providers in healthcare settings to help prevent the spread of infection or illness during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to Ramshield Inc. s website.
