Bengaluru: A scientist in Bengaluru has invented a groundbreaking device that will attacks and disables Coronavirus.
Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar who has invented the Scalene Hypercharge Corona Canon (SHYCOCAN) a powerful device that attacks and disables Coronavirus.
Notably, SHYCOCAN is CE marked (EU- Class I) and has been cleared by US FDA under 'Enforcement Policy for Sterilizers, Disinfectant Devices and Air Purifiers during the COVID 19 Public Health Emergency'.
This device will be manufactured and marketed in India by Eureka Forbes under the brand name FORBES CORONAGUARD (Powered by SHYCOCAN).
It is to be mentioned that with reopening of schools, places of worship and restaurants among other workplaces, this, FORBES CORONAGUARD aims to provide real-time protection against infection from coronavirus in closed spaces.
This is a revolutionary virulence prevention device which promises to neutralize and disable 99.9% of coronavirus in the air surfaces, within closed indoor spaces.
So how does the CORONAGUARD break this chain and help prevent the spread of coronavirus?
Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar, Chairman and Chief Scientific Officer of the Organization de Scalene and Scalene Cybernetics Ltd. in Bengaluru, India explains, "This innovative technology is intended to 'physically attenuate' the homing mechanism on the virus and prevent infectivity. The device is designed to release trillions of environmentally safe electrons, applying well-known principles of physics, which disables the S protein in the Coronavirus so that it cannot attach itself to human cells. The emanated electron cloud actively 'disarms' air and surface transmission of the Corona family of viruses. The CORONAGUARD does not use any chemicals nor does it produce ozone, or ionize the air to produce reactive oxygen species, oxides of nitrogen or other harmful compounds. The device can be safely deployed in all environments inhabited by people, be it very large or small enclosed spaces".
Announcing it to the media, Marzin R. Shroff, CEO & Managing Director Eureka Forbes said, "For over 38 years, we at Eureka Forbes have been protecting Indians against harmful viruses and bacteria in water, air and surfaces. We are privileged to be working together with Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar in bringing Forbes Coronaguard to India. It is a device that offers real-time protection against infection from the Coronavirus within closed spaces. Our vision is to contain the spread of this disease and to make a positive difference to the lives of millions of Indians first, and then to the rest of the world."
"An important feature of this technology is that only the Corona family of viruses is targeted, while bacteria, fungi or other eco-friendly micro-organisms are not, allowing for 24/7, safe deployment," quoted Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar.
"We intend on prioritising deployment of the CORONAGUARD in all high-risk and essential service environments first. This will help create 'safer zones' in homes, health care facilities, grocery and essential stores, restaurants & hotels, schools, colleges, places of worship, residential, corporate, industrial and sporting environments among others according to Mr Shroff. He added, it is a very practical and complementary solution - along with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), where necessary - to reduce burdens of indefinite social distancing".
"While we go through the final ratifications and necessary approvals, the commercial production of CoronaGuard is expected by August end/early September 2020. We are looking at a launch and pre-bookings that should open in Mid-August" said Mr Shroff.
Initiatives surrounding the R&D on the device prototype began in April 2019, to stem the decline in workforce productivity due to the common cold and seasonal Influenza in Scalene's facilities. Over the last 6 months, Dr Rajah Vijay Kumar and his team have worked tirelessly, and successfully completed extensive EU-CE - mandated safety testing undertaken by the Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Scalene has since obtained the CE Mark with Class I designation, enabling the expedited manufacture, distribution, and sales in all CE-compliant countries/markets, including India.
US FDA 'Enforcement Policy for Sterilizers, Disinfectant Devices, and Air Purifiers During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) Public Health Emergency approved it together with multiple certifications from prestigious international laboratories, it is proven to be safe for infants, pregnant mothers and others with no side effects and/or interference with other electronic devices.
