An innovative outer layer with a built-in air purifying system to filter out airborne pathogens, allergens, and pollutants from the air you breathe.


THE BioVYZR IS A FUNCTIONAL OUTER LAYER THAT SHIELDS YOUR PERSONAL SPACE AND FILTERS YOUR AIR.

ITS PATENT-PENDING DESIGN SHIELDS YOUR PERSONAL SPACE FROM AIRBORNE PATHOGENS, ALLERGENS & POLLUTANTS WHILE FILTERING OUT 95% OF PARTICULATE MATTER IN YOUR AIR.

THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS UPENDED
OUR DAILY LIVES. MORE THAN  EVER, WE 
MUST THINK ABOUT HOW TO STAY SAFE
AND PROTECT OUR LOVED ONES.

TRADITIONAL METHODS HAVE NOT EFFECTIVELY PREVENTED TRANSMISSION.

NOTE: Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical in the fight against COVID-19 transmission. Scientists have documented three ways of transmission of COVID-19: through contaminated hands or fomites coming into contact with the body's exposed mucal membranes (eyes, nose and mouth), through large droplets expelled from the nose and mouth (caused by talking, sneezing, coughing etc.), and by contaminated micro-particles expelled from the body in the form of aerosol mists. These contaminated airborne micro-particles can stay suspended in the air, travel well beyond 6 ft., and be easily inhaled. Experts are divided on the general effectiveness of masks. There seems to be an emerging consensus that they are more effective at preventing an infected person from spreading airborne pathogens than they are to protect the wearer from inhaling them. This is due to the fact that most face masks don't create an air-tight seal around the nose and mouth. When you breathe in a mask, some of the air comes from the openings around the mask instead of passing through the filtering materials. Masks also leave the eyes exposed, leaving another vulnerable entry point at risk. Conventional face shields do block larger droplets from the eyes, but they may not offer adequate protection from contaminated aerosols. 

THE BioVYZR RE-IMAGINES THE WAY WE KEEP HARMFUL AIRBORNE PATHOGENS OUT OF YOUR PERSONAL SPACE.

THE BioVYZR IS A TYPE OF PPE KNOWN AS A POWERED AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATOR (PAPR). OFTEN USED IN INDUSTRIAL AND HEALTHCARE SETTINGS, OUR GOAL IS TO MAKE THIS TECHNOLOGY ACCESSIBLE TO EVERYONE.

A battery-powered motor fan pushes exhaled air out through a back filter, creating negative pressure inside the BioVYZR's hood. This negative pressure draws in ambient air from the outside through two filtering air vents. Inflowing air passes through two N95 filters to remove up to 95% of particulate matter from the inflowing air. This includes, but is not limited to, airborne pathogens, mist droplets, pollen, dust, soot, and pet dander. Please note that since these particles get caught in the filters, it is important to take protective precautions when replacing the filters to avoid contamination. Your BioVYZR will come with detailed instructions on how to safely replace and dispose of your used filters. 



BREATHE EASY WITH A FILTRATION SYSTEM THAT REMOVES 95% OF AIRBORNE PARTICULATES DOWN TO 2.5 MICRONS.

Even though Coronavirus particles are only .1 microns in diameter, they are often transmitted through airborne respiratory droplets expelled from the mouth and nose. These contaminated respiratory droplets can range from 10–100 µm (microns) and will not pass through N95 filters. 

THE BioVYZR IS DESIGNED TO PROTECT FROM COMMON WEATHER ELEMENTS LIKE RAIN, WIND, SUN AND SNOW. 

WE'RE TAKING A "ONE SIZE FITS MOST" APPROACH TO ACCELERATE OUR FIRST PRODUCTION RUN. 

EVERY DAY, WE SHARE SMALL SPACES WITH HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE. USE THE BioVYZR TO PROTECT YOURSELF, AND EVERYONE AROUND YOU. 


ABOUT US

VYZR Technologies was founded in response to the lack of innovative and effective Protective Personal Equipment (PPEs) available to the public in the face of a global pandemic. 

We’re a passionate team of designers, problem solvers, and entrepreneurs working to create gear for a new normal. Based in Toronto, Canada and working in quarantine, we believe that our real challenge is not COVID-19. It’s dealing with a complete lack of effective PPEs required to protect the population and prevent transmission. 

The first product we’re deploying, the BioVYZR, is a consumer-grade Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR).

We hope it will help you breathe easy as we prepare for life beyond quarantine. 



WITH CASES INCREASING DRASTICALLY EVERY DAY, GETTING OUR BioVYZRS MANUFACTURED & SHIPPED IS AN URGENT PRIORITY. 



We're able to execute this ambitious production timeline because we already have established material sourcing and manufacturing partners on the ground. Before pivoting to the BioVYZR, we were already in the process of manufacturing our own product lines. As of our launch date, we've given a heads up to our partners to switch gears to BioVYZR production. 




SHIPPING

IMPORTANT: Please note that we are charging flat-rate shipping rates to simplify the fulfillment process. Since our sizing system and product selection is very limited (only Adult and Kids sizes in one color), fulfilling your orders will be super straightforward. Please use the correct shipping address at the beginning as we will not be re-confirming them before shipping everything out. If your address does need to be changed, a member of our team will be happy to help you get it sorted. You can e-mail us at care@vyzrtech.com.

We’re using fixed prices to simplify shipping. This will help us process orders so much faster on our end so that you can get your BioVYZR(s) sooner. The prices are based on estimates for a product whose specs (size & weight) are well defined. In some cases, it will be slightly more expensive or less expensive than the actual shipping cost. Shipments outside of Canada and the US may be subject to additional duties/VAT/taxes but since you are backing our project, they will be marked as a “gift”. That said, if you are billed for additional taxes or customs, it is your responsibility to pay that amount. Make sure you’re familiar with your country’s shipping rules and fees in advance to avoid any frustration.




YOU MIGHT NEED TO CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR:

If you have a pre-existing medical condition, wearing a BioVYZR may make breathing more difficult for those with respiratory conditions. People with known or suspected breathing problems, emphysema, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), asthma, or cardio/pulmonary problems should consult with their physician before using a BioVYZR. If you are claustrophobic or experience anxiety when in small spaces, this product may not be right for you. 


If at any time while using the BioVYZR you experience headache, nausea, dizziness or have difficulty breathing, unbuckle the side buckles, pull off the visor, get fresh air and seek medical attention if needed.
