ZenGUARD™ Air Filters Advance as Class 1 Medical Device in Canada

Zentek Ltd., an intellectual property development company, announced that its ZenGUARD™ Enhanced Air Filters will be classified as Class 1 medical devices under Canada's existing medical device establishment licence. This addition follows comprehensive testing and validation, initially contracted by the Government of Canada's Innovative Solutions Canada Testing Stream in 2021.

The National Research Council of Canada conducted independent testing, confirming a significant net reduction in airborne pathogens. LMS Technologies Inc. also reported a 66% average enhancement in viral filtration efficiency compared to untreated filters.

This initiative supports Zentek's aim to provide innovative solutions for indoor air safety without increasing energy costs. The company expects to complete necessary compliance and qualification processes efficiently, aided by their ISO 13485:2016 Quality Management System.

Additionally, Zentek announced the departure of Nick Hansford, Vice President, Strategy and Product Development, from the company.
