The Story Behind Violett

Violett was founded by Branden Doyle, who worked as a nuclear engineer and technology leader at the U.S. Department of Defense when the Covid-19 pandemic began. Tasked with finding solutions to keep critical workers safe, especially in poorly ventilated spaces like aircraft carriers and submarines, Branden led a team of engineers and scientists. After months of testing, they discovered that existing solutions were inadequate. Although UVC light effectively kills germs, it required prolonged exposure to be fully effective against pathogens like Covid.

To address this issue, Branden founded Violett Inc. The company's product enhances the residence time of airborne viruses and germs within a high-intensity UVC light chamber, ensuring they receive a sufficient dose to safely kill the pathogen.

 

Violett’s Mission and Technology

Violett’s mission is to create safer spaces for people to breathe, whether at home, work, or in communal areas. Violett technology improves air and neutralizes unpleasant environmental odors to ensure residents, employees and visitors are protected from harmful pathogens.  In addition to advanced UCV technology, Violett’s three levels of air filtration produces hospital-grade air disinfection and environmental odor control through proprietary nanotechnology filtration. Add on to this that the unit is attractive and doesn’t require a great deal of space.


How Violett Works:

  1. Air Entry: Air enters from the top, closer to where people breathe and away from floor dust and debris.
  2. Air Quality Sensing: Real-time air quality data is continuously sent from the device.
  3. VOC Removal: An activated carbon pre-filter removes large particulates and volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
  4. HEPA Filtration: A HEPA-13 filter captures particulates, viruses, and pollutants.
  5. Advanced Odor-Removal: A nanotechnology filter binds and eliminates odor-causing gases and effectively kills any remaining germs.
  6. UVC Light Chamber: Air enters the UVC Vortex™ chamber, where high-intensity UVC light maximizes exposure time, ensuring rapid sterilization.
  7. Air Exit: Clean air exits through a 360-degree outlet at the base, providing whole-room coverage.

 

Proven Efficacy

Violett’s technology has been rigorously tested and significantly outperforms competitors. In independent third-party testing, Violett achieved a million times better viral load reduction than a competitor. Studies have shown that Violett’s UVC light intervention effectively prevents airborne transmission of SARS-CoV-2 and other pathogens, making it suitable for healthcare facilities, schools, public spaces, and homes.

 

Key Benefits

  • Rapid Pathogen Elimination: Kills COVID-19 and other airborne pathogens like influenza and RSV within 30 minutes.
  • Ideal for Community Spaces: Suitable for community rooms, game rooms, and dining halls, covering 800 square feet per unit.
  • Portability and Ease of Use: Can be used as a set-and-forget prevention strategy or in outbreak response protocols.
  • Smart Monitoring: Built-in sensors and auto-control features with an online dashboard for remote monitoring and control.

 

Supporting Your Healthcare Business

Violett simplifies the grant application process for customers, handling most of the paperwork and requiring only a few business identifier numbers. The state review process typically takes about a month from application to approval, with the grant available until the end of September 2024.

 

Violett is dedicated to creating safer indoor environments with cutting-edge technology, ensuring cleaner, healthier air for those that enter your community doors.

Violett: Redefining Air Disinfection and Environmental Odor ControlFounded on a vision to enhance safety and environmental conditions in living, working, and learning environments, Violett leverages ultraviolet (UVC) light for air disinfection and proprietary odor control nanotechnology through a three-step medical grade filtration system.Necessity is the Mother of Invention:Violetts respiratory health mission stemmed from Branden Doyle, Founder and Chief Product Officer, who's experience as a nuclear engineer for the U.S. Department of Defense during the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tasked with protecting critical personnel in confined spaces like aircraft carriers and submarines, Doyle and his team tested existing air purification technologies. This team of engineers learned that existing technology fell short and did not meet rigorous pathogen eradication outcome specifications. Doyle and his team focused on UVC light's clinically proven results which led to the development of Violett's advanced air disinfection system. Doyles desire to protect our vulnerable populations was amplified by the loss of a family member due to COVID. Advanced Technology:Violett's cyclone technology optimizes UVC light exposure to effectively neutralize a broad spectrum of pathogens, including viruses and bacteria, by disrupting their genetic material. Unlike traditional methods that rely on filters or chemicals, Violett's approach offers improved outcomes, safety and portability.  Rigorous 3rd party testing confirms its clinical efficacy in diverse settings from homes to Senior care facilities.  Unlike other technology using UV light, Violett is safe for the room to be occupied while Violetts air disinfection is occurring.Violett at work: User testimonials underscore Violett's impact on air quality and health outcomes, particularly in healthcare settings where reduced illness rates are notable. Indoor air has been improved in community areas treated with Violett technology and infection prevention protocols have been enhanced.  Portability of Violett units allows for mobilization of point of care infection response.  Additionally, it is ideal for prevention strategies based on group events, gatherings and community engagements. While protecting our residents and guests in our Senior care communities, the value to workforce health cannot underestimated. The air that our work family breathes is the same air that they share.  Violetts role in protecting the air we breathe is vital in respiratory health and environmental experience.  Setting the Standard: Violett's air disinfection and environmental control technology sets a new standard for indoor air quality management, driven by a steadfast commitment to efficacy, safety, and sustainability. Violetts value in the healthcare of our seniors is amplified by one-of-a-kind odor control.  Violett not only protects your loved ones, but it also protects those who care for your loved ones.  Violett has proven itself in over 500 Senior Care facilities across the US and has multiple acquisition models ranging from grant acquisition, direct purchase, financing and financed revenue generation models.  How can we help?:Our team would love to talk with you to see if Violett is right for your community and protecting the are we breath.
