MedicAir Pro Air Purifier in the UAE
Published · Updated · PRO TECHnology Air Quality Solutions
The mid unit of the MedicAir range and the one that fits the rooms most buildings actually have: living and majlis spaces, meeting rooms, treatment rooms, classrooms and larger waiting areas. Up to 605 m³/h across four fan speeds, with H13 HEPA, activated carbon and a 24 W UV-C chamber.
PRO TECHnology is the exclusive MedicAir distributor and partner for the GCC, including the United Arab Emirates, and supplies the Pro and its replacement cartridges from Dubai. This is also the model with the best independent evidence behind it: in testing by Dr Iyad Al-Attar in Kuwait in September 2025 it removed 98 to 100% of particles above one micron and reduced VOC concentrations above 8,000 ppm to zero in under 30 seconds. Those results are set out, with their caveats, further down this page.

Key takeaways
- 605 m³/h at the top setting covers roughly 120 m³ at five air changes an hour, which is the size of a real meeting room, majlis or treatment room rather than a bedroom.
- The Pro is specified at H13 while the smaller Pro Mini and the larger Pro Max are H14. H13 is a HEPA grade and it is what ASHRAE-level filtration in most outpatient rooms is built around, but it is worth knowing if a specification you are answering names H14 explicitly.
- Four published fan speeds, and the brochure gives airflow and noise for each. That transparency is genuinely useful: you can size against the speed the room will actually be run at, not just the maximum.
- It has the strongest independent test result of the three: near-total particle removal and complete VOC knockdown at very high concentrations, measured in Kuwait in 2025.
- It is the only model in the range supplied with a physical remote control.
- The documents supplied for this unit call it MedicAir 2.0 (model FZHCE05-MWEM); the name Pro comes from the manufacturer's website. Every figure matches, but no document says in terms that the names describe the same unit, so we name the exact model on every quotation.
Who the Pro is for
The Pro exists for rooms that are too big for a Pro Mini and do not justify the size, weight and cost of a Pro Max. In most buildings that is the majority of rooms.
Living and majlis spaces
The connected living, dining and majlis volume in an apartment or villa is typically 150 to 250 m³, which is Pro territory at three air changes an hour.
Meeting rooms
High occupancy, closed door, moderate volume. The Pro can hold a 12-person meeting room at five air changes an hour without running at maximum.
Treatment and consultation rooms
Larger clinical rooms, dental surgeries and physiotherapy rooms where a Pro Mini is short of capacity. Position it to draw air away from the breathing zone.
Classrooms and studios
A standard classroom of around 180 m³ is inside the Pro's range at three air changes an hour, with headroom to run below maximum so it does not interfere with teaching.
Where it is not the right machine: a bedroom or hotel guest room, where an 880 mm tower whose quietest published speed is 28 dB is more machine than the room needs and the Pro Mini is quieter; and an open-plan floor, lobby or function space, where the volume calls for the Pro Max or several distributed units.
Airflow and noise at each fan speed
Most manufacturers publish one airflow figure and one noise figure and leave you to guess what happens in between. MedicAir's brochure for this unit publishes both at every speed, which makes it possible to size honestly against the setting a room will actually be run at.
| Setting | Airflow | Sound |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Up to 180 m³/h | 28 dB |
| Medium | Up to 360 m³/h | 45 dB |
| High | Up to 500 m³/h | 51 dB |
| Max | Up to 605 m³/h | 60 dB |
The brochure's text gives the same 28 to 60 dB band as its table, and so does the manufacturer's website; the specification card for the same model states ≤68 dB(A). We publish the table because it ties each sound figure to an airflow. The same brochure gives power by speed as 35, 45, 57 and 80 W. The January 2022 MedicAir 2.0 brochure supplied with the unit also prints 35, 45 and 57 in its sound column, the same numbers as the power column, so we use the 2024 figures. The specification card gives 85 W input.
What size room does a MedicAir Pro cover?
Room volume, not floor area. Length x width x ceiling height, multiplied by your target air changes per hour, gives the clean air the room needs in m³/h.
| Air changes per hour | Largest room volume | Roughly, at a 3 m ceiling |
|---|---|---|
| 3 per hour (MedicAir's home guidance) | About 200 m³ | A room of about 67 m² |
| 5 per hour (US CDC general recommendation) | About 121 m³ | A room of about 40 m² |
| 10 per hour (MedicAir's healthcare guidance) | About 60 m³ | A room of about 20 m² |
At the Medium setting, 360 m³/h, the same three targets give about 120, 72 and 36 m³. Sizing against Medium rather than Max is the difference between a machine people leave on and a machine they turn down.
A twelve-person meeting room, 7 m x 5 m with a 3 m ceiling, holds 105 m³.
At five air changes an hour it needs 525 m³/h. One Pro covers that at its High setting, 500 m³/h, or just above it at Max.
That is technically a pass and practically a warning: the room would be running at 51 to 60 dB through every meeting.
Two Pros at the Medium setting deliver 720 m³/h between them at 45 dB each, which is quieter, better distributed and comfortably ahead of the target. This is the argument for sizing generously rather than minimally.
Our sizing guide sets out where each air change target comes from and, importantly, which of them are requirements and which are recommendations.

A note on the brochure and the model name
The brochure supplied with this unit is titled *MedicAir 2.0 Air Purifier*, dated January 2022, and the specification card gives the model as FZHCE05-MWEM. The main figures in them, 605 m³/h, H13, the 24 W UV-C bulb and the four airflow settings, match what the manufacturer now lists as MedicAir Pro. No document we hold says in terms that the two names describe the same unit, so we do not assume it. If you are writing a tender, ask us for the model reference of the exact unit we are quoting.
The display and ReAKT
The 8 inch LCD on the top of the unit reads out air quality, relative humidity, room temperature, fan speed and remaining filter life, and the number flashes when a filter change is due. Around it, a light band on the air outlet gives the room an answer without anyone having to read a screen: white above 20 µg/m³, amber above 50 and red above 75.
In ReAKT mode the on-board laser sensors detect a rise in airborne contamination and raise the fan speed across four settings, then bring it back down. That is not only a convenience. Running at the speed the room needs rather than a fixed high setting is what makes a 5,000 hour filter life realistic.
What independent testing found
The MedicAir Pro has the most detailed independent evidence of the three models, and it was produced in a Gulf environment rather than a European one, which makes it unusually relevant here.
Independent examination, Kuwait, September 2025
- Who
- Dr Iyad Al-Attar, an air filtration specialist who consults to international standards bodies. Commissioned by MedicAir.
- Device
- MedicAir Pro, with its composite H13 filter, carbon layer and UV-C element.
- Why Kuwait
- Selected for elevated outdoor particulate, high VOC concentrations and high thermal load, so the unit was assessed under conditions closer to this region than to a European laboratory.
- Particle result
- 98 to 100% removal of particles above 1 micron and 99% below 1 micron, measured at 0.3, 0.5, 1.0, 3.0, 5.0 and 10.0 microns, across all four fan speeds.
- VOC result
- VOC concentrations raised above 8,000 ppm were reduced to zero in under 30 seconds with the UV element off, and to 0.47 to 0.51 ppm with it on.
- What the report also recommends
- Longitudinal testing over several weeks to confirm the result holds as the filter loads, and an investigation into whether the unit itself generates chemical by-products. Both are sensible open questions rather than findings against the machine.
- Date and source
- Report dated 2 September 2025; summary and full PDF published by MedicAir on 3 September 2025.
Chamber testing named in the product brochure
- Who
- The brochure names Airmid Healthgroup in Ireland and CremCo in Canada as the laboratories that tested the unit independently.
- Device
- MedicAir 2.0, the unit this brochure describes.
- Conditions
- A 25 m³ test chamber built to comply with US EPA (2012) guidance, control against efficacy over 60 minutes.
- Result as published
- The chart is captioned as airborne virus removal from the chamber within 16 minutes and marks reductions of 3 log₁₀ and 4.42 log₁₀.
- What the reports behind it show
- We have now read the laboratory reports behind this chart. They are chamber tests of the MedicAir 2.0 tower at its highest fan speed with the UV and HEPA stages running, one of them described by the laboratory as a range-finding study, and the chart is a 25 m³ chamber result, not a figure for a furnished room. The laboratories restrict use of their names in promotion, so we describe the work as the brochure does. It does not transfer to the Pro Mini or the Pro Max.

Buying and owning a MedicAir Pro in the UAE
- Filters. One combined cartridge, reference PAFCTEM2, published at 5,000 hours, with MedicAir recommending replacement at least every twelve months regardless. The unit signals when it is due. Cartridges are stocked locally by PRO TECHnology. See replacement filters.
- Dust. A Pro in a Dubai reception area or a villa majlis loads faster than the published interval assumes, because the door opens onto outdoor dust. Keep the intake band clear and clean it regularly.
- Placement. More than 20 cm of clearance around the intake. A 360 degree intake pushed into a corner is a 180 degree intake.
- Noise. Size against the Medium or High setting rather than Max if the room is occupied while the unit runs. The speed table above makes that easy to do properly.
- Accessories. The brochure lists a wheel base and a wall mount. Ask us whether either is available for the revision we are quoting.
- Seeing one first. MedicAir units are on display at our Business Bay showroom, which is the only reliable way to judge the difference between 45 dB and 60 dB in a real room.
- Warranty. No warranty term appears in the documents supplied for this unit; the manufacturer's website says three years. Ask us to state the UAE term on the quotation.
- MedicAir Pro brochureAvailable on request. The manufacturer's brochure for this unit quotes UK retail prices, so we send a UAE copy rather than publishing it

MedicAir Pro: frequently asked questions
What size room does the MedicAir Pro cover?
At its maximum 605 m3/h it corresponds to about 200 m3 of room volume at three air changes an hour, about 121 m3 at five and about 60 m3 at ten. At the Medium setting of 360 m3/h those figures fall to about 120, 72 and 36 m3. Work from volume, not floor area, and size against the speed the room will actually be run at rather than the maximum.
Why is the MedicAir Pro H13 when the smaller Pro Mini is H14?
H13 and H14 are both HEPA grades under EN 1822: H13 captures at least 99.95% and H14 at least 99.995% of particles at the most penetrating particle size. A coarser medium at higher airflow is a legitimate engineering choice, because a denser medium resists airflow more. H13 is also the grade most outpatient ventilation design is built around. It is worth knowing only if a specification you are answering names H14 explicitly.
How loud is the MedicAir Pro?
The January 2024 brochure's speed table gives 28 dB at Low, 45 dB at Medium, 51 dB at High and 60 dB at Max, and the brochure text and the manufacturer's website give the same 28 to 60 dB band. The specification card for the same model states a maximum of 68 dB(A), so we have asked MedicAir to reconcile them. The useful point is that the quiet figure and the 605 m3/h figure describe different settings: at 45 dB the brochure gives up to 360 m3/h.
Has the MedicAir Pro been independently tested?
Yes, and it has the best evidence of the three models. Dr Iyad Al-Attar examined it in Kuwait in September 2025 and measured 98 to 100% removal of particles above one micron, 99% below one micron, and VOC concentrations above 8,000 ppm reduced to zero in under 30 seconds. MedicAir's brochure also summarises 25 cubic metre chamber tests of the MedicAir 2.0 tower at maximum fan speed. Those are chamber results, not room results, and none of them applies to the Pro Mini or the Pro Max.
Is the MedicAir Pro the same as MedicAir 2.0?
The brochure supplied with the unit is titled MedicAir 2.0, dated January 2022, and the specification card gives the model as FZHCE05-MWEM. Every figure in them matches what the manufacturer now lists as MedicAir Pro: 605 m3/h, H13, a 24 W UV-C bulb and the same four airflow settings. No document says in terms that the names describe the same unit, so we do not assume it, and we give you the exact model reference for anything we quote.
Does the MedicAir Pro come with a remote control?
Yes. It is the only model in the range supplied with one. The brochure gives a range of up to six metres. The unit is also controlled from the 8 inch touchscreen on top and from the MedicAir mobile app, with the separate MedicAir Data app logging air quality across several units and sites.
Will the MedicAir Pro remove cooking smells and VOCs?
The activated carbon layer is the stage that addresses gases, odours and volatile organic compounds, and in independent testing this model reduced very high VOC concentrations to zero within 30 seconds. Carbon works by adsorption and has a finite capacity, so a unit in a kitchen-adjacent or high-odour space needs its cartridge changed nearer the twelve-month recommendation than the 5,000-hour ceiling. Performance also varies by compound.
How often does the MedicAir Pro filter need changing?
MedicAir publishes 5,000 hours for the PAFCTEM2 cartridge and recommends replacement at least once every twelve months even if the unit has not signalled a change. The display tracks remaining filter life and flashes when it is low. Expect the shorter end in a dusty or heavily occupied space. Cartridges are supplied locally in the UAE by PRO TECHnology.
Can a MedicAir Pro replace ventilation in a meeting room?
No. It filters and recirculates air that is already in the room. It introduces no outdoor air and removes no carbon dioxide, so if CO2 climbs through a long meeting the building needs ventilation and no purifier will change that. Purification and ventilation are complementary, and a supplier who tells you otherwise is overselling.
