CAE Chooses Sanitization Company for Facilities and Sims

CAE signed a contract with The PYURE Company to assemble air sanitizers using PYURE's technology, which significantly destroys the COVID-19 virus in the air and on surfaces as demonstrated through an independent U.S. certified scientific lab. CAE will work with PYURE to develop the next generation of products using PYURE's technology and plans to retrofit its facilities and simulators with the technology.

Under the agreement with PYURE, CAE expects to produce 55,000 units during the first year. PYURE air sanitizers are used in hospitals, doctors' and dentists' offices, senior care centres, high-technology companies and schools in the United States.

"The contract with PYURE will allow us to maintain manufacturing jobs in Montreal while continuing to play a role in the fight against the pandemic," said Marc Parent, President and CEO of CAE. "We obtained this contract mainly because of the expertise we have gained developing the CAE Air1 ventilators as well as the ISO 13485:2016 certification for medical device design, manufacturing and distribution obtained last month."

PYURE announced in a recent press release that Innovative Bioanalysis, a U.S. certified, biosafety level 3 laboratory located in California, demonstrated that the PYURE MDU/Rx sanitizer reduced airborne SARS-CoV-2 by 99% in 20 minutes and that it was no longer detected in the air after 80 minutes. The US study also showed that on surfaces, the PYURE MDU/Rx sanitizer reduced the virus by 99% in one hour and it was no longer detected on surfaces after three hours.
